Getting to know Dr. Catherine Wilson
Welcome! I'm Dr. Wilson, a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Owner of Cal Psych Assessments. I am so glad that you are beginning to research and take steps toward improving your experiences as you continue to move throughout your life! Cal Psych Assessments currently serves the state of California with various in-person and remote psychological, educational, and developmental assessments for all ages across the lifespan, as well as individual therapy for ages 16 and older.
I have been a psychologist for over 15 years and have moved around the country working in various metro areas such as Chicago, Memphis, Santa Barbara, Colorado Springs, and Los Angeles. In my early years, I worked primarily with children and adolescents, providing neuropsychological assessments in private practice as well as substance abuse counseling in criminal justice inpatient and outpatient settings. Later, I transitioned to working with justice-involved adults in penal settings and have run substance abuse, trauma, and severe mental illness programs, as well as supervised other psychologists for licensure and performed forensic assessments.
In my private practice, I have performed a multitude of assessments for various agencies and individuals, including bariatric, SSI, forensic, autism, ADHD, personality, educational, gifted, veterans' benefits, substance abuse, behavioral concerns, learning disabilities, licensing board requirements, formalized testing exceptions, and more. I also enjoy providing individual therapy for adults motivated to change. My therapeutic style is direct; however, it is also compassionate. I will gently and consistently challenge you during our sessions in order to move therapy along and enable progress and change.
Along with my doctorate degree, I have a postdoctoral master's degree in clinical psychopharmacology (MSCP) and a specialized certificate in pet loss and bereavement.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
