What this is, in plain language

Dr. Helena Johnson is a California licensed clinical psychologist offering autism spectrum evaluations and treatment for children and other childhood conditions, based in Newport Beach and serving Long Beach and nearby cities.

Getting started

Contact Dr. Johnson by phone at (949) 842-5163 to discuss your child's needs; evaluation fees vary and are quoted individually, and since she is out-of-network with insurers, clients pay by cash or cheque at the time of service.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • A California licensed clinical psychologist specialising in autism spectrum evaluations and other childhood conditions, with an office in Newport Beach and a published service area that names Long Beach.
  • Evaluations follow best-practice guidelines using the ADOS and ADI-R, covering developmental history, social communication and play, language, behaviour, cognitive ability and adaptive functioning, ending in a comprehensive written report with recommendations.
  • Also offers Independent Educational Evaluations, school observations and consultations, and can attend IEP meetings to help develop goals (billed separately from the evaluation).
  • Out-of-network for insurance: she does not bill insurers directly — families pay at time of service (cash or check) and can submit her bill to a PPO for possible partial reimbursement.
