How to choose a psychological testing practice

  1. Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
  2. Make sure psychological, ADHD and learning evaluations is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
  3. Ask whether the report will meet the purpose you need it for (school accommodations, a testing agency or your physician).
  4. Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
  5. Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
  6. After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

Questions to ask a psychological testing practice

  • Are you accepting new clients, and how soon could I start?
  • Which license do you hold, and in which state or province?
  • How much of your work is psychological, ADHD and learning evaluations?
  • What does the evaluation include, how long does it take, and when will I get the written report?
  • What do you charge per session, and do you take my insurance or provide a superbill?
  • Do you offer online sessions?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • What do you keep confidential, and when would you have to share information?

How does RankedPsychologists rank psychological testing practices?

Each psychological testing practice gets a 0–100 RP Score from eight published factors, led by reputation (25%), specialty focus (25%), proximity (15%) and availability (10%). A practice with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only practices with a confirmed specialty and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.

Do psychological testing practices outside Silver Spring count in this ranking?

Yes, if they are within 40 mi of the Silver Spring city center, our service radius for psychological testing practices. Each listing shows where the practice is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 15% of the RP Score, so a nearby practice gets a small edge.

Can psychological testing practices pay to rank higher on RankedPsychologists?

No. The RP Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured practices may appear above the list, labelled Sponsored and showing their honest rank.

How are psychological testing practices in Silver Spring ranked?

Each practice gets an RP Score from 0 to 100 from 8 published factors, including its Google rating, how clearly it focuses on psychological, ADHD and learning evaluations and how close it is. Sponsored placements are shown separately and never change rank. The score does not measure treatment outcomes.

Who can diagnose ADHD or a learning disability?

Psychologists, including neuropsychologists, commonly evaluate ADHD, learning disabilities and autism with standardized tests. Physicians such as pediatricians and psychiatrists can also diagnose ADHD. Schools and testing agencies may have their own requirements for a report, so ask what the evaluation includes before you book.

Can I see a psychological testing practice online?

Often, yes. Licensing generally follows where you are during the session, so the provider needs to be licensed or authorized there. In the US, psychologists in PSYPACT member states can offer telepsychology to clients in other member states; counselors and social workers have their own rules. In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.

What if I need help right now?
