Clinic Services

Adult and Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluation

Neuropsychological evaluations are requested as part of a comprehensive medical evaluation to assess whether different areas and systems of the brain are functioning properly, or whether deficits are present that are part of neurological disorders. Testing is usually recommended when there are symptoms or complaints involving memory or thinking. This may be signaled by a change in concentration, organization, reasoning, memory, language, perception, coordination, or personality.

Neuropsychological evaluations are helpful in differential diagnoses of disorders involving a number of medical, neurological, psychological, or genetic causes.   Neuropsychological testing is frequently part of the evaluation of problems such as:

Memory loss

Dementia – Alzheimer’s disease, vascular and other types

Traumatic Brain Injury

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Cognitive Disorders

Learning Disorders

Autistic Spectrum Disorders

Stroke and other medical conditions

Adult and Pediatric Psychological Evaluation

Psychological evaluations are often needed to assess disorders of behavior, mood, and personality.  When concerns arise regarding a child’s persistent misbehavior, depression, mood swings, anxiety, or the effects of traumatic events or difficult circumstances, a psychological evaluation is useful to determine the most accurate diagnosis and outline a clear plan for treatment and intervention.  Evaluations are based upon psychological tests that are scientifically designed to be accurate and reliable in assessing the complex and unique characteristics that exist in each person.

Typical problems or disorders assessed using psychological testing include:

Depressive Disorders

Bipolar Spectrum Disorders

Anxiety Disorders – General, Panic, Obsessive Compulsive
