Our Story
We are a family-funded and family-driven practice built with one mission in mind: to make mental health care accessible, reliable, and grounded in real science. This clinic represents the work, dedication, and resilience of the people who raised us, inspired us, and stood with us including the loved ones we’ve lost along the way. Their influence is part of why we follow through, why we honor every patient’s time, and why we take this work seriously.
Through psychological testing, trauma-informed therapy, and modern behavioral science, our goal is simple: understand what’s happening, explain why it’s happening, and guide people toward what helps.

Primary Mental Health Care
Our Primary Mental Care Services
Primary Mental Care Check-In
Our Primary Mental Care Check-In is a short, practical visit (15–30 minutes) designed for moments when something feels off and you need fast clarity. It functions just like a primary care “sick visit,” but for your mental and emotional well-being. You don’t need a diagnosis or ongoing therapy, just a concern you want evaluated by a trained clinician. This appointment helps you understand what is happening, what might be triggering the change, and what next steps are appropriate. You leave with answers, a plan, maybe a note for work or school, and the peace of handling it early.
Adults (18+)Primary Mental Care
Maybe you’ve had a day where something feels off — overwhelmed, unfocused, or just not yourself — and you want someone to check in with you.
You pick up your phone, you find us, and you call.
If it’s urgent, we see you same day.
If it’s non-urgent, we fit you in same day or next day, in between our longer appointments.
The visit is quick — 15–30 minutes, and the cost is flat rate: $50
We talk through what you’re noticing, use brief DSM-5 screeners, and explain what might be going on. You leave with clear next steps, a short plan, and support.
Kids, Pre-Teens & Teens Primary Mental Care
Maybe your child is having a day where something just feels off, emotional, overwhelmed, refusing school, or not acting like themselves, and you want someone to help you figure out what’s going on.
You pick up your phone, you find us, and you call.
If it’s urgent, we see them same day.
If it’s non-urgent, we fit them in same day or next day between our longer appointments.
The visit is quick, 15–30 minutes,
and the cost is flat rate: $40
We talk through what’s happening, use brief DSM-5 screening tools, and explain what might be behind the change. You leave with clear next steps, reassurance, a short plan, a school note, or a recommendation for a full evaluation if needed.

Our Services
Psychological Testing & Diagnostic Evaluations – Affordable, Evidence-Based Care
We offer comprehensive psychological testing and diagnostic evaluations designed to be accessible, accurate, and clinically meaningful.
All evaluations include standardized measures, clinical interpretation, and clear, no-jargon recommendations overseen by licensed psychologists.
Full Comprehensive Evaluation ($524.30)
Includes up to 4 standardized psychological tests to assess cognitive, academic, emotional, behavioral, and diagnostic concerns. Ideal for complex presentations, school accommodations, or diagnostic clarification. This may be needed when someone is struggling in multiple areas (school, work, emotions, focus, behavior) and a full picture is needed to understand what’s really going on and what supports will actually help.
Half Comprehensive Evaluation ($427.30)
Includes up to 2 standardized tests, providing focused assessment for targeted concerns while maintaining clinical depth and accuracy. This may be needed when there is one or two specific struggles and the goal is to get clear answers without doing a full evaluation.
ADHD Evaluation ($250.00)
Includes 1 standardized ADHD assessment, evaluating attention, executive functioning, and behavioral patterns across settings. This may be needed when documentation must meet gold-standard testing requirements for school, college, or workplace accommodations, meaning the results are formal, defensible, and accepted by institutions that require validated ADHD testing.
Autism Evaluation ($427.30)
Includes up to 4 standardized autism assessments, examining social communication, behavioral patterns, and developmental functioning. This may be needed when an initial autism diagnosis is being considered and a comprehensive evaluation is required, as autism assessments rely on multiple measures to accurately understand strengths, challenges, and support needs.
Diagnostic Evaluation Only ($195.90)
Includes 1 diagnostic measurement with clinical interpretation for diagnostic confirmation or treatment planning.
This may be needed when a diagnosis needs to be confirmed or re-certified for documentation purposes (such as school, services, benefits, or ongoing care), and one clear answer is needed rather than a full evaluation of multiple concerns.
Prices are subject to change.

College Readiness Testing
College Readiness Testing & Accommodations
College success depends on more than grades or intelligence. Students are expected to manage heavy workloads, stay organized, focus for long periods, perform under pressure, and make decisions about their future—often all at once. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because their learning needs and strengths haven’t been clearly identified.
Perkins PsyCare Clinic provides college readiness testing focused on academic accommodations, learning direction, and career-aligned strengths. Using standardized, digital assessments, we evaluate how a student learns, focuses, manages demands, and performs under academic stress.
Our evaluations are designed to help students:
- Access appropriate college and testing accommodations
- Understand how their brain works best in academic settings
- Gain insight into career paths that align with their strengths and challenges
Results are translated into clear documentation for college disability services and SAT/ACT accommodations, along with practical guidance to support academic choices, study demands, and future planning.
College Readiness Testing Fee: ($650) payment arraignments available.
What to Expect: The Testing Process
A Two-Day Testing Process
Day 1: Cognitive & Academic Testing
Day 1: Cognitive & Academic Testing
College readiness testing is completed over two separate days, with approximately two hours of testing each day. This structure is intentional and important. Splitting testing across two days allows the brain to rest, reduces fatigue, and helps ensure results accurately reflect a student’s true abilities rather than exhaustion or test overload.
Day 1: Cognitive & Academic Testing
Day 1: Cognitive & Academic Testing
Day 1: Cognitive & Academic Testing
On the first day, students complete standardized digital assessments that may include:
- IQ testing (how the brain reasons, processes information, and solves problems.
- Academic achievement testing (WIAT) to measure reading, writing, and math skills
- College-level academic or performance measures, when appropriate
These assessments help us understand how a student learns and performs under academic demands.
Day 2: Academic Performance & Symptom Screening
Day 2: Academic Performance & Symptom Screening
Day 2: Academic Performance & Symptom Screening
The second testing day focuses on factors that affect performance in real college settings. Depending on the student’s needs, this may include:
- Additional academic or college-focused measures
- Executive functioning and attention testing
- DSM-5 symptom checklists related to ADHD, anxiety, mood, or other concerns that may impact learning and testing performance
The break between days allows the brain to reset, which improves attention, effort, and overall result accuracy.
After Testing: Review & Results
Day 2: Academic Performance & Symptom Screening
Day 2: Academic Performance & Symptom Screening
After both testing sessions are completed:

- Findings are translated into clear, easy-to-understand feedback
- Families receive documentation for college and testing accommodations, when appropriate
- Students receive guidance on academic supports, learning strategies, and career-aligned strengths
All School Level Accommodation Help
