A neuropsychological evaluation is an in-depth assessment designed to identify brain-related areas of strength and deficit.

​

The assessment procedure includes an interview combined with one-on-one testing, designed to determine current brain functioning. Assessments, test interpretation, report preparation, and feedback sessions are conducted by a licensed psychologist with a specialty in neuropsychology.

​

Neuropsychological exams are most frequently performed following a neurological-based change in functioning.

Changes may occur for a variety of reasons, such as:

​

• traumatic brain injury

• stroke

• tumor

• prenatal alcohol exposure (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder)

• toxic chemical exposure

• degenerative conditions (such as multiple sclerosis or dementia)

• identifying learning disabilities and attention deficits

 

What I Offer

I specialize in Neuropsychological Assessments for traumatic brain injury (TBI), memory impairment, stroke, dementia, cognitive deficits, learning disabilities, attention deficits, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). And offer adults (17 & over) a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation designed to assess cognitive function, mental health status, and adaptive behavior. Evaluations combine a clinical interview, neuropsychological testing, and a review of previous psychological or psychiatric records.

​

Your time for the evaluation involves two scheduled clinic visits: an interview and testing lasting approximately 5 hours, and a 1-hour reporting conference that occurs approximately three weeks later. Consultations with current health providers and referrals to community resources occur as needed.

​

I do not offer ongoing psychotherapy or case management; however, I am available for follow-up consultation.

​

I accept referrals from a wide range of community providers, including private practitioners, community mental health agencies, substance abuse treatment programs, and criminal justice personnel.
