About Neuropsychological Services

A neuropsychological evaluation is an in-depth assessment of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning. It typically includes clinical interviews, standardized testing, and questionnaires to understand how brain functioning affects thinking, mood, and daily life.

A neuropsychological evaluation may be helpful for individuals experiencing:

  • Memory, attention, or concentration difficulties
  • Learning challenges in children, adolescents, or adults
  • Traumatic brain injury, including concussions or post-concussion symptoms
  • Stroke or neurological conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease
  • Developmental concerns, including ADHD or autism spectrum features
  • Cognitive changes associated with aging
  • Psychological clearance for bariatric surgery, spinal cord stimulation, or other medical procedures
  • The need for school accommodations such as IEPs, 504 plans, or academic supports

We assess cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes related to medical, neurological, and psychological conditions. Common referrals include:

  • Concussion and traumatic brain injury
  • Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and other types
  • Stroke
  • ADHD
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Learning disabilities
  • Mood and anxiety disorders
  • Memory changes
  • Cognitive effects of medical conditions such as epilepsy, autoimmune disorders, or chronic illness

Yes. We provide evaluations and short-term treatment for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Appointments & Evaluation Process

Your first visit typically includes a clinical interview to discuss symptoms, medical history, and goals. Testing may begin the same day or be scheduled for a separate visit, depending on your needs.

Most evaluations range from 3 to 8 hours. Testing may be completed in one day or split into multiple sessions to reduce fatigue.

Please bring:

  • Photo ID
  • Insurance card, if applicable
  • Glasses or hearing aids, if applicable
  • A current medication list
  • Previous medical, school, or imaging records, if available

Yes. Breaks are provided as needed to ensure comfort and optimal performance.

Testing includes non-invasive, pencil-and-paper and computer-based tasks that measure:

  • Memory
  • Attention and concentration
  • Problem-solving and reasoning
  • Language skills
  • Processing speed
  • Emotional and psychological functioning

These tasks help identify cognitive strengths and areas that may benefit from support.

Results & Reports

You will attend a feedback session where results are explained in detail. You will also receive a comprehensive written report summarizing findings and personalized recommendations.

Reports are typically completed within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the evaluation.

With your written permission, results can be shared with healthcare providers, schools, employers, or others involved in your care.

Repeat evaluations are recommended when there is a meaningful change in functioning or when updated information is needed for treatment planning, accommodations, or recovery tracking. For many conditions this is every 1 to 2 years, though timing varies based on individual needs.

Insurance & Payment

Many neuropsychological services are covered by insurance, but coverage varies by plan. Our office can help verify benefits prior to your appointment.

We offer self-pay options with transparent pricing and can discuss payment plans if needed.

Some insurance plans require a physician referral. Please check with your provider or contact our office for assistance.

Neuropsychological testing evaluates brain and behavior relationships in greater depth, using specialized measures to identify specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses.

In addition to evaluations, we offer cognitive rehabilitation, behavioral strategies, and referrals to appropriate specialists based on individual needs.

Understanding Provider Roles

  • Psychologist: Focuses on emotional and behavioral health, and often provides therapy and mental health assessments.
  • Neuropsychologist: A psychologist with advanced training in brain and behavior relationships who uses detailed cognitive testing to assess how medical or neurological conditions affect thinking and functioning.
  • Neurologist: A medical doctor (MD or DO) who diagnoses and treats neurological conditions, and can prescribe medication and order imaging.
  • Neuropsychologist: Conducts in-depth cognitive and psychological assessments but does not prescribe medication.

For Parents

You can tell your child they will be meeting with someone who wants to understand how their brain learns, remembers, and solves problems, so they can be better supported at school and home. The activities feel like puzzles and games, nothing painful or scary, and there are no right or wrong answers.

Parents are typically included during the interview portion. For testing, children usually work one-on-one with the clinician to ensure accurate results. Parents are welcome to remain nearby in the waiting area.

We routinely work with children of all attention levels. Evaluations are tailored to each child, with breaks and engagement strategies built in. Please let us know in advance about any attention or behavioral concerns so we can plan appropriately.
