Psychological Assessments
Offered by Kaylin Golerkansky, PsyD
Sometimes you know something is getting in the way, but it’s much less clear why.
Psychological assessment can help clarify what may be contributing to challenges with attention, learning, emotions, behavior, or day-to-day life, and how those pieces may be connected.
At Kincove, assessments are tailored to the person and the questions you’re trying to answer, with the goal of providing a clearer understanding of what’s going on and practical recommendations for what comes next.
We offer psychological and neuropsychological assessments in Los Angeles, conveniently located for individuals and families in Beverly Hills, Culver City, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Westwood, Brentwood, Bel Air, and surrounding communities.
Our Assessments
Not every question requires the same type of evaluation. Each assessment is tailored to the individual and the questions you’re looking to answer, helping clarify what may be going on and identify the support that best fits.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Evaluation

Evaluates social communication, behavior, sensory experiences, and developmental patterns to determine whether an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis is appropriate and identify individualized recommendations for support.
ADHD Evaluation with Executive Functioning
$4,500
Evaluates attention and executive functioning, including organization, working memory, planning, impulse control, and follow-through, to determine whether an ADHD diagnosis is appropriate and identify specific areas of strength, difficulty, and support.
ASD / ADHD Differential Evaluation

Educational Evaluation

Identifies specific learning differences and disabilities and provides individualized recommendations for academic support, accommodations, and educational planning.
Full Neuropsychological Evaluation

Our most comprehensive evaluation, assessing cognitive functioning, academics, attention, executive functioning, memory, emotional functioning, and developmental factors.

When an Assessment Can Help
We consider age, developmental stage, personality, shared interests, and what each teen is working through to bring together girls who are likely to relate to and connect with one another.
Sometimes there’s a specific question about ADHD, autism, or a learning difference. Other times, you may have a sense that something isn’t quite adding up and want a clearer understanding of what’s behind it.
An assessment can be helpful when:
School or college feels harder than expected despite ability and effort
Attention, organization, or follow-through are creating challenges
Social situations or relationships are consistently difficult to navigate
Emotional or behavioral concerns are becoming harder to understand
Previous diagnoses or treatment haven’t fully explained what’s going on
Documentation is needed for school, college, or testing accommodations
Assessment helps bring the pieces together to clarify what may be contributing, how different areas may be connected, and what kind of support best fits the person.
Understanding Your Results & What Comes Next
An assessment should do more than give you a diagnosis. It should help you understand what the findings mean and what to do with them.
You’ll receive:
A comprehensive written report that brings together testing, interviews, history, and relevant records
A feedback session to walk through the findings and connect them back to the questions that brought you in
Clear recommendations for next steps, which may include school or college accommodations, therapy, executive functioning support, strategies for home, neurofeedback, referrals, or other care
When ongoing support is recommended, Kincove can provide several of these services directly or help connect you with appropriate outside providers when more specialized care is needed.
