NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS
Understanding cognitive, memory, or attention changes with care and expertise.
WHAT IS A NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION?
A neuropsychological evaluation is a assessment of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. It helps clarify how you think, learn, remember, and manage attention in daily life.
Cognitive testing helps identify specific strengths and vulnerabilities and offers a clearer picture of what may be contributing to presenting challenges. The goal is to deepen your understanding of how you think and function and to guide treatment, supports, or compensatory strategies in a way that feels practical and personalized.
These evaluations require at least one in-person testing session, available in Los Angeles, NYC, Westchester, Long Island, and Connecticut. Intake and feedback may be completed via telehealth across CA, NY, and CT.
TYPES OF NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS OFFERED
Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation
These are in-depth evaluations that provide a full picture of how a neurological, psychiatric or neurodevelopmental condition may be affecting thinking, mood, or day to day functioning.
They may be appropriate for individuals with neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, tumors or neurosurgical history, neurodevelopmental conditions, such as ADHD or autism, or even psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia, OCD or bipolar disorder.
A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation can help to clarify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, track changes over time, guide medical or treatment planning, inform rehabilitation or return to work decisions and address emotional or behavioral changes that may accompany neurological illness, among others
Supporting older adults is a special focus in my practice. My goal is to help individuals, families, and healthcare providers gain direction and to offer thoughtful, personalized recommendations that support safety, independence, and quality of life.
Elder Evaluation (ages 65+)
An Elder Evaluation is a shorter, more targeted neuropsychological evaluation for individuals aged 65 and older. These evaluations can help distinguish between normal aging, mild cognitive Impairment (MCI), dementia and “reversible causes of dementia,” such as depression or certain medical conditions.
They can also help differentiate between different forms of dementia, including: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Vascular dementia & Lewy body dementia
Elder evaluations can also be helpful for understanding cognitive changes in the context of known neurological or medical conditions, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, acquired or traumatic brain injury
Neuropsychological / Psychoeducational Evaluation
These evaluations combine neuropsychological and academic testing to understand how an individual learns and performs in school or testing environments. They are often recommended when there are concerns about learning or attention and when accommodations require documentation of both a diagnosis and a functional limitation.
This type of evaluation provides the detailed information needed to support requests for academic accommodations or special education services and helps tailor recommendations to the learner’s needs. Testing may be completed under both standard and modified conditions, such as extended time, to determine when a student performs best. Findings help determine eligibility and guide recommendations tailored to the learner’s needs.
Offered for individuals aged 16+
The evaluation process is not about labeling—it’s about understanding. With that understanding comes the opportunity to learn more effectively, advocate with clarity, and move forward with confidence.
