For families in Florida and New Jersey, we’re pleased to announce that Lumate is currently accepting insurance. This development makes accessing our mental health assessment services more convenient for you.
In the other states we serve, we operate as an out-of-network provider with most major insurance carriers. However, in our experience many of these carriers are willing to work with us. For those who do not have out-of-network benefits, we will actively pursue a Single Case Agreement with your insurance company whenever possible. This effort is part of our commitment to make our anxiety treatment services as accessible as possible.
Moreover, we are in ongoing discussions with numerous insurance carriers to become a contracted in-network provider. This step is part of our continuous effort to expand our services and make them more accessible to a broader range of individuals in need of mental health support.

A mental health assessment is a process that aims to evaluate an individual’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and ways they interact with each other and the environment. This allows the youth and clinician to examine the pattern of reactions and situations that might be interfering with daily life and resulting in excessive stress, anxiety, OCD, or other difficulties and conditions in managing one’s mood and behavior. During the mental health assessment, Lumate’s expertly-training therapists ask a series of questions and have the youth complete certain questionnaires tailored to the individual’s age and stage of development. All assessment strategies, from talking with the clinician to filling out questionnaires or checklists, are then thoroughly reviewed by the clinical team and reviewed with the youth (and parent) to ensure an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the youth’s mental health.
The duration of a mental health assessment can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the individual’s condition, the reason for referral, and the thoroughness of the evaluation. In general, a mental health assessment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. During Lumate Health’s mental health assessment, it is important to take the time to answer truthfully and accurately as this will help your clinician make an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate recommendations for treatment.
The frequency of mental health assessments depends on individual circumstances and the nature of the mental health condition. In some cases, a one-time, comprehensive assessment may be sufficient to establish a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. At other times, “mini” assessments are conducted at certain intervals, such as towards the end of treatment or certain stressful life events, to check on any lingering or new symptoms or issues that may arise. And, to keep the youth and therapist in sync on progress during treatment, a very brief set of questionnaires is often used periodically to track the progress of treatment so that adjustments can be made to achieve the youth’s goals.
At Lumate, mental health assessments are conducted by mental health specialists, such as a psychologist, social worker or counselor. These professionals have specialized training in assessing and treating mental health conditions.
Mental health assessments can be beneficial to people of all ages who are concerned about their mental well-being or who have been recommended to do so by a healthcare professional. At times, school personnel may notice behavior or reactions that raise concern, and suggest to a parent that their teen might benefit from an assessment. This may include individuals experiencing symptoms of mental health conditions, those seeking diagnosis or treatment, or people who want to ensure that their existing diagnoses are accurate. We specialize in mental health assessments for children, teens, and young adults.
