Straight answers

The baseline evaluation is $3,000 — done in your home, with a written report and a meeting to walk through the results. Many families start there.

Cognitive Stewardship is $12,000 for six months, or $9,000 if you've already done the baseline. The baseline fee credits in full if you continue within 90 days. A family who does the baseline and continues through a full year spends about $24,000.

Consultation for a specific matter, including for professionals who need cognitive expertise, is $500 per hour.

Payment by ACH, check, or Zelle. Card is accepted with a 3% processing fee.

No. The baseline evaluation stands on its own — you get the report and the meeting whether or not you go further. Stewardship runs in six-month terms, and in the final month of each term you and Dr. Stoeckel decide together whether continuing makes sense. Nothing renews automatically.

Because a single point doesn't show a direction. The baseline tells you where things stand today; what matters more is which way they're moving, and that only shows up through repeated measurement over time. Six months is the shortest window that reliably shows one. Shorter engagements produce data that's easy to over-read in either direction — which is worse than no data.

No — Treasure Coast Cognition is a direct-pay practice. That's what makes in-home visits, same-day access, and a practice small enough to know your family possible.

Probably not. Families often assume that once symptoms are obvious — or once there's a diagnosis — the window has closed. It hasn't. A clear evaluation still changes what happens next: which specialists to see, what to plan while planning is still possible, and how to measure whether anything is actually working. Some of the most valuable engagements start years into symptoms.

No. This is a consultation practice — no prescriptions, no medical treatment. We work alongside your physicians and, with your authorization, share reports with them. Most physicians welcome it: they get better cognitive data than a clinic visit can produce.

You talk with Dr. Stoeckel directly — there's no intake department. He'll ask what you're seeing, tell you honestly whether an evaluation makes sense, and if it doesn't, point you to who you should see instead. You'll have a clear next step, with a date attached, before the call ends.

Your records live in a secured system, are never sold or shared without your written authorization, and our written privacy practices — including exactly which technology systems touch your information — are part of the agreement you sign before we begin. You'll know where everything lives, in plain language.

Families needing emergency care, active psychiatric treatment, or rehabilitation services — we'll refer you to the right place. And families looking for a one-time test with no conversation attached; the report matters, but the plan is the point.
