Clinical Psychology
Evidence-based psychological assessment, therapy, and neurocognitive testing
Clinical Psychology is the specialty focused on evidence-based psychological assessment, therapy, and neurocognitive testing. OpenDoc separates it into focused subspecialty paths so patients can start in the right care lane before they book. Transparent pricing on this page currently ranges from $135 to $5,000 across 14 common visit types. Clinical psychologists provide evidence-based therapy, comprehensive psychological evaluations, and specialized neurocognitive testing for conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to ADHD and autism. Over 1 in 5 U.S. adults lives with a mental health condition, yet access to doctoral-level psychology services is severely limited by insurance networks. OpenDoc offers transparent cash pricing on psychology services starting at $150 — eliminating waitlists that can stretch 3-6 months through insurance channels.
Not sure where to start? Begin with General Clinical Psychology Evaluation and OpenDoc will keep the specialty, visit type, and price aligned before anything happens.
Cash-pay context
Why pricing transparency matters here
Mental health is one of the most restricted areas of insurance coverage — narrow provider networks, session limits, and prior authorization requirements create barriers that delay care. Cash-pay eliminates these obstacles and gives you access to the full range of doctoral-level psychologists, including those who have opted out of insurance panels due to reimbursement rates that forced session time cuts.
Subspecialties

General Clinical Psychology Evaluation
Start with a general clinical psychology evaluation if you want the provider to confirm the right care path before you move deeper into the specialty.
Why subspecialty matters
Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them
Focused training matters
Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.
Prices match the care path
A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.
Less guesswork before booking
Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.
Better provider fit
This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.
