Neuropsychological Evaluation

Our doctors provide neuropsychological evaluations to maximize understanding of a patient's cognitive and emotional functioning. We provide assessment for school-aged children through adults with a wide range of referral questions.

Examples of common referral issues

Traumatic Brain Injury: What are the enduring effects of an injury and what treatment might help?
Memory and Aging: Is this normal age-related change or a disease? Or is it something else?
Learning and Development: Does this patient have a developmental disorder affecting learning? If so, how can we help to circumvent these weaknesses and provide the best learning environment for success?
Changes in Personality and Behavior: Are these symptoms of a psychiatric disorder or do they signify a brain-related syndrome?

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy aims to help individuals capitalize on their strengths and compensate for difficulties related to neuropsychological conditions. We offer psychotherapy work with patients and families to:

Build insight into their current capabilities
Strengthen coping
Enhance adaptation to life changes
Provide emotional support through the experience of neurological conditions and recovery
Addressing social skills needs
Improving interpersonal relationships/support

We achieve this by personalizing a treatment plan that meets the needs of our patients and their families.

Neurorehabilitation

We offer individualized cognitive rehabilitation as an aspect of our treatment services. Cognitive rehabilitation involves a systematic, functionally-oriented service of therapeutic cognitive activities, based on an assessment and understanding of the person's brain-behavior deficits. Our cognitive rehabilitation services seek to enhance functionality and help develop insight of strengths and challenges through the cognitive rehabilitation process, to foster greater success and independence in their daily life.

Our goal is to help you move forward to where you want to be in your life. Services are directed to achieve functional changes by

Reinforcing, strengthening, or reestablishing previously learned patterns of behavior, or
Establishing new patterns of cognitive activity or compensatory mechanisms for impaired neurological systems" (Harley, et al., 1992, p.63).
