[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 67626, member: 3930"] I am trying to get an MDE or neuropsychologist evaluation and need help. I first faxed a letter last Thurs evening to his pediatrician asking for a referral to a neuropsychologist or to have an MDE. (I don't know why but it is hard for me to call and I am having total anxiety about this - I feel like I am about to lose it!) Needless to say, I did not get a call back. I called today asking to make an appointment with his pediatrician. and when they asked for what reason, I said social/behavioral issues and that we are trying to get a referral for an MDE or neuropsychologist evaluation. She asked me about my insurance and then told me I didn't need a referral and then gave me the phone # to the place the doctor uses. Here is a breakdown of their services. Is this the right kind of place? The center includes licensed psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and a psychiatric nurse practitioner with prescriptive authority. The following services are available through their center: - Child, Adolescent, and Adult Counseling - Marriage and Family Counseling - Medication Evaluations - Intellectual and Psychological Testing - Play Therapy - EMDR - Alcohol and Substance Abuse Evaluation - Employee Assistance Program Services - Organizational Consultation This seems to me that is would be just counseling, which we do not want. I don't know what to do. I am so stressed out and I feel like I am having major anxiety and panic over all this. Now I need an appointment. for myself! : ( [/QUOTE]
