Psychological Evaluations
Dr. Sheriece conducts three different Psychological Evaluations or Assessments: General Psychological, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD / ADD), and Pre-Surgical.
Providers use psychological evaluations or assessments to create a broader understanding of the individual depending on the purpose of the evaluation. Dr. Sheriece will use a combination of an interview and objective assessments to gather information about you. These evaluations can take 2-5 hours and, in many cases, are covered by insurance. After the evaluations, Dr. Sheriece will discuss with you the findings, make treatment recommendations, behavioral modification suggestions, and provide letters or documentation as needed.
Ali Marpet will provide evaluations as part of the clinical psychology training at National Louis University and supervised by Dr. Sheriece.
Insurance is accepted for psychological assessments, ADHD assessments, and pre-surgical assessments. We offer a reduced out of pocket rate for meeting the clinical psychology trainee.
