At The Family Psychology Clinic of Kingwood, we utilize intellectual, neuropsychological, academic, and personality tests to identify and diagnose psychologically-based impairments in children and teens.
Testing of children combines a thorough history of the child, observation of the child, reports from teachers and parents, and a child’s performance on standard, norm-referenced tests to determine the presence of psychological, developmental, or behavioral disorders. Children often participate in testing to diagnosis:
Getting an accurate history is the first step in any effective treatment cycle and the goal of your initial meetings with Dr. Mosier.
After meeting with you and/or your child, Dr. Mosier will develop and review a treatment plan that takes into account your individual situation, the reasons for seeking testing or evaluation, and the best psychological tools to use in making you, your child or teens’ diagnosis.
After testing, Dr. Mosier will review the results of your child’s evaluation with you in detail and discuss further intervention. This might include individual or family therapies, consultation with other professionals or institutions, or advocacy on behalf of you and your child for additional school-based or private services
The Family Psychology Clinic of Kingwood is a self-pay practice and we are not formally contracted with any private insurance or governmental agencies, such as Medicaid or Medicare. We can provide you a detailed receipt that includes the diagnosis and service codes necessary to file an out-of-network claim with your individual insurance provider. We can also help you find out what your out-of-network mental health benefits are and whether or not a portion of Dr. Mosier’s services may be covered. Service costs are $250 for the initial visit and $200 for subsequent visits. Testing rates depend upon the type of testing that will occur. When appropriate, an estimate will be given detailing the length and cost of testing. Please contact the office at 281-361-0777 for further information regarding insurance and costs. Finally, it is important to know that psychological care is accessed under mental health rather than tradition medical benefits and, that for many policies, mental health benefits are treated independently of medical benefits. This means that mental health benefits may have a separate deductible, differing levels of coverage, or even be managed by a different insurance provider.
