  • The first appointment is an initial evaluation conducted individually with adults or parents (for child/adolescent patients). This appointment can be either virtual or in-person. Your provider will gather information about your history, reasons for seeking services, and spend time developing a plan for next steps. Follow-up sessions will be either virtually or in-person (as previously discussed with your provider). For children, parents are welcome to join at the start and end of subsequent sessions. Separate parent-session will also be scheduled every several few sessions.

    For young children, the initial intake appointment may be attended by parents only. For older children and adolescents, it is most helpful if they attend as well, but discuss with your provider ahead of time. Assessment appointments are typically scheduled for two days, with 3-4 hours of testing each day. The goal is to capture the most accurate representation of each individual’s abilities. If the client takes medication for ADHD already, please discuss with your provider ahead of time whether medication should be taken on the day of testing. Please bring snacks, drinks, and dress in comfortable clothing. No other materials are needed on the day of testing.

  • With young children, you may want to show pictures of your provider or the office (both shown on this website), before the first appointment. Your child can have the choice whether they would like you to stay in the room or waiting in the waiting room. For therapy services, Dr. Leibowitz often describes herself to young children as a “feelings doctor.” The goal of therapy is to help you and your child to learn skills to help in your day-to-day lives. The first therapy session (after the parent intake) will focus on getting to know each other. It involves talking and may also include playing and coloring.Your child is welcome to bring a fidget or stuffed animal that helps them feel comfortable.

Good Faith Estimate

Under a new law, health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance for their care a “Good Faith Estimate” of the anticipated costs of care for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services provided by your provider.

This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care treatment. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. The Good Faith Estimate only includes costs associated with anticipated treatment items and services, and does not include ancillary services, late or no show fees, or costs incurred from other medical providers (e.g., outside labs, pharmacies).

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill by contacting Baltimore Pediatric Psychology. You can also initiate a dispute resolution process with the US Department of Health and Human Services. For questions or more information about the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call CMS at 1-800-985-3059.
