You might be feeling overwhelmed by challenges at work, school, or in your relationships. Perhaps you’re noticing increased forgetfulness, trouble staying organized, or difficulty managing emotions. These struggles can impact daily life, leading to frustration and stress.

Our comprehensive evaluations provide detailed insights, leading to personalized recommendations and targeted interventions that can make a meaningful difference in your life.
Why Neuropsychological Testing is Important
Neuropsychological testing is a powerful tool for understanding how the brain affects thinking, emotions, and behavior. Conditions like ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and anxiety often come with cognitive and behavioral challenges that can be difficult to navigate without a clear diagnosis. Neuropsychological evaluations offer a deep dive into how the brain functions, helping to identify strengths, weaknesses, and the underlying causes of specific challenges.
Without a proper neuropsychological evaluation, individuals might struggle to understand why they or their child are facing certain difficulties. This lack of clarity can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and ongoing challenges in school, work, and relationships. A neuropsychological assessment provides the detailed understanding needed to create effective strategies and interventions, leading to improved daily functioning and a better quality of life.
If you want to gain a clearer picture of cognitive abilities, emotional health, and social functioning, a neuropsychological assessment could be the right choice for you.
Neuropsychological Testing Can Offer a Path Forward
Our neuropsychological evaluations are designed to provide a detailed picture of how the brain is working. We assess a wide range of cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, language, and problem-solving. These evaluations are crucial for diagnosing conditions such as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and more. Think of our assessments as a roadmap that guides you or your child toward greater understanding and better outcomes.
We take a warm, compassionate approach to neuropsychological testing. Our goal is to provide the kind of care, empathy, and professionalism we would want for ourselves or our loved ones. By identifying cognitive strengths and areas of difficulty, we can help you or your child access the right resources, accommodations, and treatments.
Our practice offers neuropsychological testing for a variety of conditions, including ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and more. We also provide assessments to help with school and work accommodations. No matter what challenges you or your child are facing, we are confident that our tailored evaluations can provide the support you need.
How the Neuropsychological Assessment Process Works
Our neuropsychological assessments follow a simple three-step process:
- Step One – Intake: This is a one-to-two-hour clinical interview (in-person or via Zoom) where you’ll discuss concerns, goals, and a tailored evaluation plan with your clinician. For children, this session is typically parent-only.
- Step Two – Testing: You or your child will complete various tasks during a daylong, in-person session. These tasks are designed to assess thinking, memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. While testing is usually completed in one day, additional appointments may be needed.
- Step Three – Feedback: In a one-to-two-hour meeting (in-person or via Zoom), your clinician will go over the results with you, sharing diagnoses, recommendations, and personalized insights. You’ll receive a written report about two weeks after the feedback session, summarizing all findings and suggestions.
The entire process takes about six weeks, with an additional two weeks for the final report. Our goal is to provide answers to longstanding questions, identify specific concerns, and offer a path forward that leads to real, lasting improvements.
Common Questions About Neuropsychological Testing
What if I can’t afford neuropsychological testing?
While the cost of a neuropsychological assessment may seem high, many find it to be a worthwhile investment in their long-term health and well-being. The insights gained from a thorough evaluation can prevent more serious problems down the road, leading to improved quality of life and better functioning in school or work.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance because we believe important healthcare decisions should be made by you and your clinician, not an insurance company. As a fully private practice, the results of your or your child’s assessment remain confidential and are not entered into any insurance system. However, we can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network insurance reimbursement.
What types of conditions do you assess?
We specialize in neuropsychological testing for conditions such as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and more. Our comprehensive approach ensures accurate diagnoses and personalized recommendations to help you or your child thrive at school, work, and in daily life.
