Hi, I’m Bethany Zoeller, a Licensed Educational Psychologist serving children, teens, and adults throughout Bakersfield and surrounding communities.
I founded Insights Assessment & Counseling to provide individuals and families with personalized evaluations that go beyond test scores. Every assessment is completed personally by me, ensuring a thoughtful, individualized approach from start to finish.
My areas of specialization include:
My focus is not only identifying challenges but also highlighting strengths and providing practical recommendations that can be applied at home, school, college, or in the workplace.
Clear answers when school, learning, or development feels confusing. Our comprehensive evaluations assess ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and other school-related concerns. We provide practical recommendations that support success at home and help families navigate IEPs, 504 Plans, and educational accommodations.
Gain clarity and understanding at any stage of life. Our adult evaluations assess ADHD, Autism, and learning disabilities while providing valuable insight into executive functioning and lifelong learning patterns. Evaluations may also include documentation to support college disability services, workplace accommodations, and professional licensing exams.
Practical support when you need more than answers. We offer counseling services for families, teens, and adults navigating executive functioning challenges, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, and adjustment following a diagnosis. Our goal is to provide guidance, support, and strategies that promote long-term success and well-being.
From your initial consultation to receiving your personalized report, we make the evaluation process straightforward, supportive, and easy to understand.

Yes! We work with all ages to answer questions and support education, vocation, and community access.
No, we are a private pay practice and does not bill insurance companies directly. We have chosen this model because it allows us to completely tailor evaluations to your specific needs, rather than being restricted by what an insurance provider will or will not authorize. While we are out-of-network, we provide superbills upon request, which you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement.
It depends. The duration of testing varies, typically requiring one to three sessions depending on the specific questions we are striving to answer. Once all testing sessions are complete, we use that time to carefully analyze the data and draft a comprehensive, tailored report. A feedback session to discuss the findings and our clinical recommendations is then typically scheduled three weeks later.
Absolutely! Our goal is to provide clear answers regarding what is impacting you or your child and to guide your next steps with actionable support. We provide specific recommendations for IEPs, 504 plans, or college-level accommodations to ensure you have the necessary documentation to access support. Whether you are navigating the K-12 system or transitioning to higher education, we help bridge the gap between evaluation findings and real-world educational success.
The cost for our evaluations typically ranges from $500 to $2,500, depending on the specific questions we are working together to answer for you or your child. This range allows us to scale the testing to your unique needs, ensuring the assessment is as focused or as comprehensive as it needs to be. To help make these services more accessible, we offer flexible payment plans and also accept CareCredit, which allows you to pay for your care over time with specialized financing options. We provide a clear, upfront estimate after our initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
