Assessment Overview

Our comprehensive psychological assessment ("assessment") involves the evaluation of a person's mental health and learning profile to determine strengths, needs, required supports, and any applicable diagnoses. They involve interviews, administration of tests and questionnaires, obtaining information from informants or other sources, discussion of results, and preparation of a report. These assessments therefore include psychoeducational, developmental, and mental health components.

Diagnoses and Recommendations

Assessments may not lead to a diagnosis; however, strengths and needs are identified in all cases, along with appropriate recommendations.
I have read and understood the Instructions and Assessment Overview sections above
Assessment Team

Assessments are completed by registered psychologists and highly trained clinicians working under the close supervision of our Clinical Director, Dr. Ryan. Each assessment is supported by experienced clinical assistants and psychometrists who contribute to intake, standardized testing, behavioural observations, and scoring.

All members of our team receive ongoing training and participate in regular consultation and supervision with Dr. Ryan. She is actively involved in overseeing clinical decision-making, case conceptualization, and report development across the practice, ensuring a high standard of care and consistency in our assessment process.

Risks and Benefits of Services

Participating in mental health services, including psychological assessment, carries both potential benefits and inherent risks. It is important to be aware of these before beginning the process. A thorough understanding can help you make an informed decision and be better prepared for the experience.

Risks Associated with Assessment

Emotional Discomfort

The assessment process itself can be stressful. Discussing personal and sensitive issues, being in a clinical setting, meeting new people, and engaging in various testing activities can evoke uncomfortable or distressing emotions such as anxiety, sadness, or frustration.

Fatigue and Overwhelm

Assessments can be lengthy and mentally demanding. It is common to experience fatigue, a sense of being overwhelmed, or emotional sensitivity both during and after assessment sessions.

Results

The findings or diagnoses may be surprising, confusing, or distressing. The client and others involved in the service may not agree with the conclusions, or may find the results difficult to accept. There's also a possibility that the assessment may not provide clear answers as hoped.

Symptom Management

An assessment is a diagnostic process, not a direct form of treatment. While it provides recommendations, it does not in itself address the presenting issues. For example, the recipient of services will not learn skills or strategies directly during an assessment. The process can sometimes heighten awareness of issues without immediately providing a solution.

Limitations to Impact

The assessment report does not guarantee that other providers (doctors, therapists, teachers, etc.) will follow the recommendations. Similarly, it does not automatically grant access to academic accommodations, funding, or other resources, as eligibility is determined by those institutions and not by the assessment itself.

When a report is shared with a school, employer, or another medical provider, they may have their own internal processes for recognizing the diagnosis and associated needs. They might require their own assessment or a review by their affiliated professionals.

Privacy and Confidentiality

While all psychological services are bound by strict confidentiality, sharing the final report with third parties (such as schools or employers) means that your personal health information will be disclosed. It is crucial to consider who will have access to this information and how it might be used.

Potential for Misinterpretation

There is a risk that the results of the assessment could be misinterpreted or oversimplified by others, leading to labeling or stigmatization.

Benefits Associated with Assessment

Diagnostic Clarity and Understanding

Gain a comprehensive and deeper understanding of your symptoms, behavioral patterns, and the nature of your presenting concerns. An assessment can often provide a clear diagnosis, which can be a relief and a starting point for effective intervention.

Identification of Strengths and Needs

The process does not just focus on challenges. It will also identify your unique cognitive, emotional, and personal strengths, alongside areas where more support or intervention is needed.

Feeling Validated and Understood

For many, the process of being thoroughly listened to and having their daily challenges systematically explored can be a validating and empowering experience. It can provide a sense of feeling truly seen and understood.

Actionable Recommendations

A key outcome is a tailored set of recommendations for evidence-based treatments, educational strategies, and specific interventions to address your unique profile of strengths and weaknesses. We do offer additional follow-up services for support with implementation of recommendations.

Advocacy and Communication Tool

The final report serves as a formal document that provides a common language for the client, family, and various professionals (therapists, doctors, educators) to understand and discuss your needs. This documentation can be a powerful tool for self-advocacy in educational, occupational, and healthcare settings.

Foundation for Effective Treatment Planning

A thorough assessment provides a roadmap for future therapeutic interventions, allowing for more targeted and effective treatment planning with mental health providers.

Improved Self-Awareness

The insights gained from the assessment process can lead to a greater understanding of needs, fostering self-compassion and providing new ways to approach challenges.

Managing Risks

In light of both benefits and risks, we are committed to minimizing risks by:
- Providing a safe and supportive environment
- Using evidence-based assessment and treatment approaches.
- Engaging in ongoing professional development.
- Maintaining ethical and professional boundaries
- Explaining the process and results as clearly as possible and offering different methods of communication
- Discussing additional risks directly to inform choices
I have read and understood the risks and benefits of psychological assessment

Informed Consent

Our Duty to Maintain Confidentiality and its Limits

Providers at Julia Ryan Psychology have a duty to protect your confidentiality, meaning that any information you share with your provider will not be disclosed to third parties without your informed consent except in specific circumstances as outlined below.

There are certain situations in which your provider has a legal and ethical duty to disclose information without your consent. In these instances, your provider will, whenever possible and ethically appropriate, discuss the disclosure with you beforehand, explaining the circumstances that necessitate it.

These limits to confidentiality include:
1. Imminent Harm to Others: If you disclose an intent to cause imminent, serious bodily harm to another identifiable individual, we have a duty to protect that potential victim.
2. Imminent Harm to Self: If you disclose an intent to cause imminent, serious harm to yourself, we have a duty to protect your safety. Child Abuse or Neglect: If we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a child (under the age of 18) is being, or is at risk of being, abused, neglected, or is otherwise in need of protection, we are legally obligated to report this information to the Children's Aid Society.
3. Sexual Abuse by a Healthcare Provider: If you disclose information about the sexual abuse of a client by another healthcare provider, we have a duty to report this to the provider's regulatory college or professional association.
4. Abuse/Neglect in Long-Term Care: If we become aware of abuse, neglect, or maltreatment of a resident in a long-term care facility, we are required to report this to the Director at the Ministry of Long-Term Care.
5. Other circumstances where confidentiality may be breached:
  
  College Audits: As members of the CPO, our files may be subject to periodic audits to ensure compliance with professional standards.
  
  Court Subpoenas: In the event of a subpoena issued by a court of law, we may be legally required to disclose certain contents of your file.

Informed Consent

Privacy, Confidentiality, and Access to Information

At Julia Ryan Psychology, your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal health information (PHI) are of paramount importance. This statement outlines how we manage your PHI, your rights regarding access to that information, and the limits to confidentiality we must uphold in accordance with the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) guidelines and the Ontario Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).

Secure Practice Management System

We use OWL Practice, a secure, web-based system, to store and manage client records. This system is encrypted and utilizes servers exclusively located in Canada, ensuring compliance with Canadian privacy laws.

Information Stored

Client records include a comprehensive collection of your PHI, such as appointment details, billing documents, session notes, contact information, reports and test results, communications between you and your clinician, and any other client-related documents. Data Encryption, Backups and Security: All data in OWL is encrypted both in transit and at rest. Practice data is routinely backed up to protect sensitive client information and ensure compliance with PHIPA. Your data cannot be replicated or stored on servers or locations outside of Canada.

Limited Access

Access to your file is restricted to your provider and other authorized members of our clinic team, all of whom are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Data Retention

Clinical files are archived for 10 years from the date of your last service, or for 10 years after you turn 18 if you were a minor when you last received services. After this retention period, your file will be securely destroyed in accordance with PHIPA guidelines.

Privacy Policy

A detailed privacy policy is available for your review. Please contact julia@drjuliaryan.ca to request a copy.
I have read and understood the information above regarding privacy, confidentiality, and access to Information.
Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent for assessment at any time, without penalty.

You will still be charged, and required to settle, fees for work completed prior to your decision to withdraw, and results may not be interpretable depending on the stage at which you withdraw.

In addition, a record of service is maintained according to relevant health information guidelines even if withdrawn from services.
I have read and understood the information regarding my right to withdraw consent

Informed Consent

Mutual Exchange of Information

To ensure the highest quality of care and accuracy in the Client's assessment, it is often helpful for us to consult with professionals currently or previously involved in the Client's care.

This includes:
- Teachers*
- Doctors
- Psychologists
- Therapists
- Counsellors
In order to do so, we require the client or client's legal guardian to provide consent for us to contact these individuals.

* If the Client is currently enrolled in or recently graduated from primary or secondary school.
I authorize Julia Ryan Psychology to communicate with the specific providers listed below. I understand that this may include requests for past records, assessment results, clinical notes, and treatment plans from these individuals.Not applicable
Please list the healthcare providers with whom you authorize us to communicate.*
I authorize Julia Ryan Psychology to communicate with the teachers and/or schools listed below. I understand that this may include requests for past records, notes, and other artifacts from these teachers and/or school officials. This step will not be taken until the assessment begins and will be discussed with the Client or Client's legal guardian before doing so.Not applicable
Please list the teachers and schools with whom you authorize us to communicate.*

Informed Consent

Right to Access

With limited exceptions, the Client has the right to access any record of their personal health information that we maintain and to request copies of that information. Information collected from others (e.g., caregivers, teachers) about the Client is considered part of the Client's Personal Health Information (PHI). As such, the right to access includes this information.

The Client is always the person who is being assessed, including, for example, teens. If they are deemed incapable of consenting for themselves, a substitute decision maker (e.g. a caregiver) would consent to the sharing/access of information. Usually, clients above the age of 12 are considered capable to consent and obtain information.

If the Client or Client's legal guardian believes the personal health information is inaccurate or incomplete, they have the right to request corrections. We will review your request and make corrections where appropriate. There may be nominal fees associated with preparing your information in advance of its release.

Exceptions to Access

There are some exceptions to the right of access:
- Raw data from psychological assessments which requires professional interpretation and can only be shared with other qualified professionals.
- Information provided in confidence by a third party.
- Information that could reasonably be expected to result in serious harm to your treatment or recovery, including yourself. Any decision to withhold information on this basis will be documented in your file.
- Information that caregivers or other third parties share about themselves or others (e.g. not the Client) is also protected by confidentiality and will not be shared with the Client or another without explicit permission. In most cases, that person's information will be removed (severed) before providing access.
Youth Consent and Access

If you are the custodial caregiver or guardian of a child or adolescent who has been deemed capable of consenting to services by their clinician (i.e. a mature minor), you may not access the personal health information of that youth unless:
- The youth has provided explicit consent for you to access such information, or
- The youth has been deemed incapable of consenting to the service on their own and you are the substitute decision maker (usually a custodial caregiver with access to medical information and decision making capacity - this may be a shared duty).
I have read and understood the information above regarding the Right to Access information

Informed Consent

Telehealth

Telehealth includes videoconference, telephone, or even text/email forms of communication. Patients must be physically located in Ontario or Quebec during a telehealth session.

Risks and Benefits

The benefits of telehealth include increased access to services (e.g. reduced travel, more flexible schedules, etc., and, in times of public health concern, access to services in the absence of alternatives.

The risks of telehealth include potential for miscommunication with certain nonverbal information missing, limitations to some activities that are difficult to do remotely, and technology and environment related risks to privacy (e.g. someone overhearing you in your house, unsecure networks, etc.

Preliminary research has shown that interventions delivered remotely have similar efficacy to those delivered in person.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Privacy and confidentiality continue to apply to telehealth services, and as such special considerations are made to ensure these standards are upheld. Videoconference sessions take place through various platforms with enhanced and ensured security, compliant with PHIPA. Both parties involved in a telehealth session should be in a private room to protect privacy.

Technological Considerations

To maintain appropriate service, a secure, strong wifi connection and use of a laptop is necessary. If these elements are missing, there will be increased technology interruptions that will interfere with the session. If another person is present in the room, they must present themselves to the clinician before beginning. In the case of severe issues with technology during a videoconference, phone is used as back up.

Emergencies

In the case of an emergency, such as a crisis or concern for safety, your provider needs to know where you will be located during the telehealth sessions and the name of an emergency contact. Your provider will collect this information at the start of each telehealth session.

Email Correspondence

Any contacts with clients that are clinical in nature must be stored in the client's file. In addition, there are privacy concerns with regard to the use of email. Email is not secure; emails can accidentally be sent to the wrong person, they may be hacked, and they may be stored on an individual's computer or browser history. For these reasons, use of email to share confidential information (updates, clinical issues, documents) is at the client's discretion.

Secure Messaging with Owl Practice

A secure message system is available through the Owl Practice portal to encourage heightened security of personal information. To send your provider a secure message in Owl Practice, use the "messages" tab.

Use of Technological Platforms

To enhance the quality and efficiency of our services, clinicians at Julia Ryan Psychology may use certain technological platforms. We are committed to minimizing the use of external platforms for storing PHI. Where external platforms are used, we review the privacy policies and practices to ensure those platforms are compliant with privacy regulation.

Categories of Platforms We May Use
1. Secure Communication Platforms: Google Workspace for Google Meets, communication between team members, and emails.
2. Digital Signature Platforms: For electronic signing of documents (e.g. DocuSign, Adobe Sign, etc.)
3. Note-taking support platforms: For recording of sessions that allow for transcription and support with writing notes (e.g. Klarify, Heidi)
4. Tools to support parts of report-writing (e.g. reverb)
Your Right to Choose

By signing this form, you are providing general consent for the use of external platforms by the clinic for purposes limited to those written above, though you retain the right to refuse any specific tools. Please inform us verbally or in writing if you do not consent to any data related to your service being used with external platforms so we can discuss and document the decision and implications for service.
I have read and understood the information above regarding Julia Ryan Psychology's usage of external platforms

Informed Consent

Family Involvement and Collaboration

We understand the importance of working with families and aim to involve family members in assessment procedures when it is necessary and beneficial for the Client.

For children and youth under the age of 16, we strongly encourage both caregivers to participate to help us gain a comprehensive understanding of how the child functions in different environments and to ensure both caregivers have equal access to sharing their perspective and understanding the scope of service. If you anticipate any issues with this, it is important to inform us.

For all Clients, inclusion of family members does not mean that family members have a right to the results or the information shared by others during the course of the assessment.

Personal health information belongs to the Client. Therefore, the decision to share this information rests solely with the Client or their Substitute Decision Maker (e.g., a parent, guardian, or caregiver for those unable to consent).

If your provider believes that disclosing specific information (beyond the limits of confidentiality described above) to other family members would be beneficial to the Client or to the assessment process, they will discuss these benefits with the Client directly to encourage their informed consent for disclosure.

Confidentiality extends to each individual who meets with a provider at Julia Ryan Psychology. For example, a child has the right to confidentiality with their provider, including the right to decide what information (if any) is shared with their caregivers about their treatment, subject to the limits of confidentiality described above.

We prioritize the Client's autonomy and will only disclose information with their explicit permission, when ethically and legally permissible.
I have read and understood the information above regarding family involvement and collaboration during the assessment

Informed Consent

Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Waiver

This section only applies to Clients currently attending Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) schools.

Please note that some clinicians at Julia Ryan Psychology are also employees of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB).

The OCDSB requires that Clients who attend OCDSB schools, and are working with one of our clinicians who is also an OCDSB employee, understand the following points:
1. The Client or their legal custodian is aware that a similar service may be available through the OCDSB, free of charge.
2. Services sought through the OCDSB are subject to eligibility requirements.
3. Your clinician can provide information to facilitate exploring service options at the OCDSB.
4. If a clinician from our practice (who is also an OCDSB employee) is asked by an OCDSB school to provide consultation or supervision for a Client they have seen in private practice, they must declare a conflict of interest. In this scenario, the clinician will request that a different OCDSB psychology staff member handle the required school-based consultation or supervision.
The Client attends an OCDSB school and I have read and understood points 1 through 4Not applicable since the Client does not attend an OCDSB school

Fees and Payments

Fee Structure

The fees at Julia Ryan Psychology vary by clinician and service.

For Assessment Services

Assessments completed by psychologists are charged hourly and vary in cost depending on the presenting issue and the measures required, ranging from $2500 to $4500. Our practice also uses psychometrists and assistants for various parts of the assessment.

In some cases, a student, trainee, or supervisee may be leading the assessment at a reduced fee, which will be offered and communicated before beginning.

Billable Fees

All service fees apply to direct client contact, as well as non-contact clinicial work such as writing reports, scoring tests, consulting with other professionals, and completing forms.

Payment

Fees can be paid either by credit card or e-transfer to info@drjuliaryan.ca. If by e-transfer, the payment is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice.

We require a credit card on file for all clients.

Late Fees

A late penalty of $5 per day will apply for late payments which will be applied at the next invoice. Subsequent sessions will not be scheduled until previous balances are paid.

Cancellations and Missed Appointments

If the client cancels the appointment without 48 hours of advanced notice or does not show up, we will apply a late fee of 50% of the session fee. For in-person assessment sessions that are several hours, the client will be charged for the equivalent of two hours.

Exceptions will be made for illness, self-isolation, or other extenuating circumstances at the discretion of the clinic.

Privacy and Access to Information

Privacy legislation regulates who can access a Client's information and under what circumstances. If someone other than the Client or guardian is paying for service, they are permitted to communicate with the clinic regarding billing matters, invoices, and insurance claims. However, they are not entitled to accessing the Client's health information including details about scheduled appointments, treatment plans, or clinical findings.

Insurance

Mental health services are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Many extended health benefit plans cover psychological services. It is your responsibility to check your coverage before initiating services.

Depending on your insurance policy or work arrangement, health insurance and employee assistance programs (EAPs) may not cover the entire cost of our mental health and psychological assessment services.

We can perform direct billing with some insurance companies, including:
- Canada Life
- Coughlin
- Desjardins
- Equitable
- First Canadian Insurance
- IA Financial
- Johnson
- The Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP)
- And others
If you or your child are covered under any of the eligible plans above, or would like to check if we can do direct billing to your plan, please complete an authorization form for each plan providing coverage. If you are a parent or caregiver who would like some of the assessment hours to be billed under your name, please also complete the form for yourself.

If you request for direct billing below, you will automatically be sent the direct billing form upon submission of this form. If you'd like a copy of the form now, it can be found here:

TELUS Health eClaims Consent Form

Please email the form to admin@drjuliaryan.ca. When a patient has two insurance plans, the primary coverage is determined by the 'Birthday Rule': the plan belonging to the person whose birthday (month and day) falls earliest in the calendar year holds the primary insurance policy.

Note that many Equitable and Manulife insurance plans only payout to the client and not the provider. This means that we will collect fees from you by credit card or e-transfer, and can submit insurance claims to Manulife on your behalf. Manulife will then reimburse you.
I have read and agree to the insurance information above; I also agree that if I submit to insurance, or the clinic submits on my behalf via direct billing, that I am also consenting to the clinic responding to any inquiries from the insurance company to confirm service delivery details including the type of service, date, and attendees
