Carolyn Light was recommended by SDUSD when I asked about testing a few years ago. We did not ultimately do the private testing so I don't have any personal experience with her.
Catherine M. replied:
Go see Dr David Palmer in Laguna Beach he is wonderful and affordable. Very experienced with the gifted population he is also a professor and teaches on gifted populations at uci.
Carolyn K. replied:
David Palmer literally wrote a book on testing gifted children and understanding the results. We used Annette Sheeley years ago, and were happy with the results, although, like with nearly all twice exceptional kids, "peeling the onion" took more assessments in later years to figure out exactly (mostly!) what was going on with her.
Cherylyn P. replied:
Carolyn light is the only gifted focused psychologist that I know of in San Diego county. She is expensive! I'll email you about my phone convo with her. I hear David Palmer in OC is great and very affordable. I did not know about him when we had our son tested.
Kara G. replied:
Dr. Sheila Vaughan, Sherman Oaks. Amazing.

We used Dr. Carolyn Light. Gained valuable insight that we would not have had otherwise.

We love Dr Beth Levy in Los Angeles. You can google for her website. Only $400 per kid. She is no-nonsense but the kids like her. She came highly recommended & is in the Mirman school referral list (check that out for more well vetted gifted PhD testers Mirman.org)

shokosaurus replied:
try [psychologytoday](https://www.psychologytoday.com/). great resource for finding any type of therapist; best part is that you can sort through all sorts of categories such as what insurance is accepted, discipline, specific issues, etc. best of luck!
GilmoresDentist replied:
not downtown, but Fremont Community Therapy project is in Fremont (duh) so kind close. They do weekends but does not take insurance, they're affordable and sliding scale. It might be hard to find an office that does weekends downtown because of the cost of space in the area. Pro tip: use the psych today finder and email with your questions. No email? Just call. Most therapy offices have calls go direct to voicemail.
littlesoubrette replied:
Honestly I would look up your insurance company website and find out what providers are covered. My good friend is looking for a weekend/evening therapist down in Portland and struggling to find one accepting new clients AND that takes his insurance. Best of luck!
