EVALUATIONS
Neuropsychological Evaluation
Our comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation provides an in-depth assessment of cognitive and psychological functioning across multiple domains. This thorough evaluation typically spans 4-6 hours and includes detailed testing of memory, attention, executive functioning, language, visuospatial abilities, and processing speed. We assess how cognitive strengths and challenges impact daily functioning, work performance, and quality of life.
This comprehensive approach is ideal for complex diagnostic questions, obtaining a baseline evaluation to monitor cognition, pre-surgical evaluations, or when multiple cognitive concerns are present. The evaluation includes a detailed clinical interview, review of medical and psychiatric history, administration of standardized neuropsychological tests, and collateral information gathering when appropriate.
You will receive a comprehensive written report with specific diagnoses, detailed cognitive profile, functional recommendations, and treatment planning suggestions. The evaluation concludes with a feedback session where we review findings, discuss implications, and provide practical strategies for managing any identified cognitive changes.
Common conditions evaluated include:
Dementia due to various etiologies (i.e., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Vascular conditions, Primary Progressive Aphasia, etc.)
Neurodevelopmental Disorders (i.e., Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disabilities, etc.)
Stroke
Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the top questions our clients ask before getting started.
What is the difference between psychology and neuropsychology?
Psychology The broad scientific study of behavior, emotions, and mental processes. Psychologists may focus on areas like counseling, therapy, mental health disorders, learning, development, social interactions, and more. They use interviews, questionnaires, and various therapeutic techniques to help people with emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues. Neuropsychology A specialized branch of psychology that focuses on how the brain and nervous system affect thinking, behavior, and emotions. Neuropsychologists study the relationship between brain function and cognitive abilities (like memory, attention, language, and problem-solving). They often work with people who have known or suspected brain injuries, neurological diseases (like stroke, dementia, epilepsy), or developmental disorders. Neuropsychological evaluations use specific tests to measure brain-related cognitive functions. Key Difference: Psychology is the general study of mind and behavior. Neuropsychology is a specialty within psychology that specifically examines how brain structure and function impact cognitive abilities and behavior. In summary: All neuropsychologists are psychologists, but not all psychologists are neuropsychologists. Neuropsychology is focused on the brain-behavior connection, while psychology covers a much wider range of topics related to human thought and behavior.
What is a neuropsychological evalution?
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of how a person’s brain is functioning. It is performed by a clinical neuropsychologist and involves a series of standardized tests and interviews. The goal is to measure a wide range of cognitive abilities, such as: Memory Attention and concentration Language skills Problem-solving and reasoning Visual-spatial skills Motor skills Emotional and psychological functioning Why is it done? A neuropsychological evaluation helps to: Diagnose conditions that affect the brain (e.g., dementia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disabilities) Understand the impact of a known brain disorder on thinking and behavior Guide treatment planning and recommendations for school, work, or daily life What does it involve? An interview about medical, psychological, and educational history Paper-and-pencil or computer-based tests Questionnaires for the patient and sometimes family members What does it NOT involve? It does not involve brain scans (like MRI or CT), though those may be used alongside the evaluation. Summary: A neuropsychological evaluation provides a detailed picture of how the brain is working, helping to identify strengths and weaknesses in thinking and behavior. This information is valuable for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring changes over time.
How long does an evaluation take?
Duration of the evaluation varies depending on the diagnostic question and complexity of presenting concerns. Evaluations generally range from 4-6 hours, which includes an intake, test administration, and feedback to review the results and recommendations. A comprehensive report will be provided outlining the results and recommendations of the evaluation.
