Psychological Testing & Assessment in Denver
ADHD, autism, adolescent personality evaluation, and customized diagnostic batteries for adults and teens — at a certified DBT practice in Greenwood Village. Led by Dr. Rachel Grace, Psy.D., a licensed psychologist specializing in adolescent emerging personality disorders and complex diagnostic clarification.
Psychological testing and assessment in Denver — clarity, not just a label
Psychological assessment at Front Range Treatment Center is built around one idea: a good evaluation should give you something useful, not just a diagnostic code. We do thorough clinical interviews, gold-standard instruments where they apply, and reports written for the person who actually needs them — whether that's you, your child's school, a surgeon, an attorney, or a treating clinician. FRTC is a DBT-Linehan Board Certified practice, which means if treatment is indicated, you have a direct pathway in-house rather than a referral list and a long wait.
What We Test For
The customized comprehensive battery is our flagship — built to the referral question. Named sub-services below describe common questions that get folded into the comprehensive workup.
Customized Comprehensive Diagnostic Battery
Our flagship assessment service, for ages 10 and up. After an intake to understand what you're hoping to clarify, Dr. Grace assembles a battery specifically chosen to answer your referral question — drawing from personality, cognitive, academic, neurodevelopmental, social-emotional, and adaptive functioning measures as relevant. Returns a clear, integrated written report and a feedback session to walk through findings.
Adolescent Personality Evaluation
A specialized assessment for teens whose presentation involves possible personality-disorder features — including borderline traits, identity disturbance, or chronic emotion dysregulation. Dr. Grace is one of the few psychologists in the Denver area specifically trained in early identification and intervention for adolescent emerging personality disorders.
ADHD Evaluations — Ages 10 & Up
Comprehensive ADHD testing using structured diagnostic interviewing, validated rating scales (self, observer, and parent/teacher for teens), and continuous performance measures. Because attention problems often overlap with anxiety, learning differences, trauma, and mood — most ADHD referrals turn out to involve more than one question — ADHD evaluations are conducted within the customized comprehensive battery, and we'll recommend the right scope for your question after the intake.
Autism Evaluations — Ages 10 & Up
Diagnostic evaluation for autism spectrum disorder using gold-standard structured assessment, social and adaptive functioning measures, and clinical observation. Available for children (10+), teens, and adults — particularly useful for those who weren't identified earlier in development and want a thorough, defensible evaluation.
Cognitive / IQ Testing
Standardized cognitive assessment for adolescents and adults when you need IQ documentation for school, a program, or another administrative purpose. Includes brief clinical interview, cognitive battery, and an integrated written report. Note: standalone IQ testing is documentation, not a clinical evaluation — no diagnosis can be assigned from a single cognitive measure. If diagnostic questions are on the table, we'll recommend a comprehensive battery instead.
Psilocybin Readiness Evaluation
Pre-treatment readiness clearance for psilocybin-assisted therapy under Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act. Clinical interview, safety screening, and a written clearance letter sized to the receiving facilitator's requirements. Conducted by Tanner Oliver, LCSW — FRTC's natural-medicine services lead.
What Testing Looks Like at FRTC
Every evaluation follows the same arc — different question, different battery, same structure.
Talk to a clinician about what you're hoping to clarify, confirm the right battery for the question you're asking, and get a clear quote up front.
Comprehensive history, current symptoms, prior treatment, goals, and any collateral information that helps frame the assessment.
Length depends on the question — most batteries take 2–6 hours of direct testing, often spread across one or two sessions for endurance and accuracy.
A sit-down review of findings, plus a comprehensive written report you can share with treating providers, schools, surgeons, attorneys, or natural-medicine facilitators.
Who Psychological Testing Helps
You don't need a referral or a diagnosis to start. A free 15-minute consultation tells us — and you — whether testing is the right next step.
Why FRTC for Testing
Three things that set our assessment work apart from a typical Denver evaluation.
Testing connected to treatment
FRTC is a DBT-Linehan Board Certified program with CBT and natural-medicine pathways. If your evaluation points to a treatment need, you have an in-house path — not a referral list and a six-month wait.
Transparent flat-rate pricing
Every battery has a published price — no surprise hourly billing, no separate report-writing fees. You know what testing costs before you book.
Reports that are actually individualized
Most assessment practices attach a standard set of recommendations to each diagnosis and move on to the next report. Ours don't. Every report includes an individualized treatment plan plus recommendations for parents, school, and work — and specific resources, books, and next steps picked for your situation. And it's written for the audience who has to use it: school documentation reads differently from a surgical clearance letter. Families consistently tell us they leave feedback sessions with a clear plan, not just a label.
Pricing
Flat-rate package pricing — no hourly billing, no separate report-writing fees. Comprehensive evaluations are quoted within the published range based on the referral question, confirmed after your intake. Out-of-network for commercial insurance — itemized superbills provided so you can submit for reimbursement per your plan terms.
Customized Comprehensive Diagnostic Battery
Our flagship service. Dr. Grace assembles a battery specifically chosen to answer your referral question, drawing from personality, cognitive, academic, neurodevelopmental, social-emotional, and adaptive functioning measures as relevant. Includes ADHD evaluations (adult and adolescent), autism evaluations, and other specialized referral questions. We'll recommend the right scope — and quote a price — after your intake. Focused, single-question evaluations land at the low end of the range.
Adolescent Personality Evaluation
Specialized comprehensive assessment for adolescents with possible personality-disorder features. Specific price depends on the measures needed for the referral question.
Cognitive / IQ Testing
Standardized cognitive battery, brief clinical interview, and an integrated written report. Documentation only — standalone IQ testing is not a clinical evaluation and no diagnosis can be assigned from a single cognitive measure.
Psilocybin Readiness Evaluation
Clinical interview, safety screening, and a written clearance letter for psilocybin-assisted therapy under Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act. Conducted by Tanner Oliver, LCSW.
