LEP's are governed under the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).  They are authorized to perform any functions pertaining to the academic learning process or the education system or both.  LEP's are licensed to conduct psychoeducational evaluations, diagnose psychological disorders related to learning processes,  administer and interpret diagnostic tests related to academic learning processes  (i.e. academic ability, learning patterns, achievement, motivation, and personality factors), provide psychological counseling (individuals, groups, and families), provide consultation to educators and parents, develop treatment programs to address problems of adjustment, and coordinate and manage intervention of individual crises.

We currently provide services for children, adolescents, college students, and young adults. 

We do not accept insurance at this time; however, we can provide a "super bill" with relevant information if you would like to try to get reimbursed by your insurance.  If you plan to submit for reimbursement, it is advisable that you contact your health insurance company to ask about your out-of-network benefits.

Psychoeducational assessments are not typically covered by healthcare insurance, though elements may or may not be reimbursed to you at a MediCal rate.

Fees will be provided after the initial consultation. Payments for psychoeducational or cognitive evaluations is requested in two installments (50% of the payment at the beginning of services with the remainder paid upon receipt of the written report/interpretation of results).  Payment for counseling services is due at the time of the service.  

Forms of payment include cash or credit card. 

The No Surprises Act was created to give individuals predictability with how much they will be charged for healthcare services prior to their appointment, and to protect individuals from receiving unexpected medical bills.  If you are a self-paying client you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" of total cost prior to beginning services.
