*After the first consultation of the diagnostic assessment. The first consultation is the intake consultation that follows your pre-intake. If there are any public holidays or vacations during this period, the lead time may be slightly longer.

**We work with a short waiting list that we plan based on the application type, the type of request, agreement signing date and payment date. Do you wish to start ahead of the waiting list? We offer the possibility of an express assessment. For further information or inquiries regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. (Updated: 31-10-2024)

What is a psychological evaluation?

An official diagnosis is established through a diagnostic assessment or psychological evaluation. This consists of a so-called ‘DSM classification’ of the symptoms you experience. For example, whether your symptoms can be explained by an autism diagnosis or whether they can be explained by an ADHD diagnosis or something else. In addition, you will also receive a descriptive diagnosis that indicates what the issues are and why.

Why Bzonder?

We are a team of psychological experts with a specialisation in ADHD, ADD, autism, and stress symptoms. We pay a lot of attention to who you are as a person. 

It goes without saying that we are bound by standards and DSM classifications, which are the basis of diagnostics. For us, however, diagnostics is not just about ‘checking boxes’, but also looking at who you are as a unique person and how your symptoms relate to each other. After all, you don’t just want to be given a ‘label’, but specifically want to know what it means for you. For example, we see many women who were only diagnosed with ADHD later in life, because they taught themselves many coping and compensation strategies that have not been recognized by previous practitioners. This often has major consequences for the person’s course of life and daily functioning.

In addition, we conduct extensive assessments into various parts of your personality and symptoms. We don’t just look at whether or not you have one specific diagnosis, but assess you as a whole. This gives you a more complete picture of where your symptoms come from. You will also receive a complete psychological report from us at the end of the evaluation. 

Complete privacy

Since we provide private care, we can guarantee complete privacy: we will only share your report with you. A diagnosis is not registered or disclosed anywhere else, as it is the case with reimbursed care. 

How much does a psychological assessment cost?

The cost of a complex basic assessment is 2422 euros. A complex basic assessment is based on the presumption of a well-defined specific diagnosis. Only Bzonder can determine whether this is the right psychological assessment for you.

The cost of a complex assessment plus is 2865 euros. A complex plus assessment is based on broad diagnostics. This is the regular diagnostic procedure. 

If you choose a direct registration including pre-intake you receive a discount, meaning a complex assessment plus is 2923 euros (instead of 2865 euro + the costs of a separate pre-intake).

For an express assessment there is a surcharge of +100%. For in-office sessions there is an additional surcharge.

A psychological evaluation at Bzonder is a standalone trajectory without treatment and is not covered by your health care insurance. Our clients finance their care themselves or receive a contribution through their employer. Are you a self-employed person? Then you may sometimes benefit from tax advantages if a trajectory with us qualifies as business expenses. This can reduce the costs by up to half

It is always at the discretion of Bzonder to determine which type of evaluation is appropriate for your situation.

What does a diagnostic assessment look like?

Prior to your first appointment, you will receive several questionnaires that you are required to complete in advance. The process begins with a (pre-intake and) intake session, divided into two parts, where we ask you various questions about yourself, your environment, your past, and your outlook on life. The third and fourth appointments consist of psychodiagnostic questionnaires or other testing materials. A family member who knows you and your behavior as a child well, will usually be involved in this process too. Additionally, you will have a consultation with a second intake specialist.

Once all the information has been processed, you will have a meeting with the intake specialist to discuss the findings, and you will receive your psychological report. You can review this report at home, after which there will be further contact to discuss any feedback you may have on the report.

Depending on your diagnostic needs, your process may differ slightly from what is described here. All online consultations will take place via video call. Only if intelligence or neuropsychological testing is required will a single in-person appointment be necessary.
