FAQs

Do you offer telehealth services?

​

Yes, most psychotherapy and clinical evaluations can be conducted via HIPAA-compliant videoconference. Forensic neuropsychological testing generally needs to be conducted in person.

​

What is a neuropsychological evaluation?

Neuropsychological evaluations can help to establish or confirm a diagnosis, assist with differential diagnosis, determine the presence and severity of an individual's cognitive, behavioral, and emotional difficulties, assist with determination of limitations in daily functioning and decision-making capacity, assist in treatment planning, offer feedback and treatment recommendations to patients/caregivers and other providers, and provide a baseline from which recovery or deterioration can be tracked.

A typical neuropsychological evaluation assesses many of the following ability areas:

  • General intellect

  • ​Motor skills and sensation

  • Attention and concentration

  • Language

  • Visual-spatial skills

  • Learning and memory

  • Executive functioning (e.g. planning, problem solving, decision making, insight, judgment)

  • Mood and personality


Individuals needing evaluation may have general complaints of cognitive dysfunction in some or all of the areas listed above due to:

  • Acquired brain dysfunction (e.g., stroke, tumor, CNS infection)

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Seizure disorders/epilepsy

  • Demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis, ALS)

  • Neurodegenerative disease (e.g., dementia, movement disorders)

  • Medical disorders impacting cognition (e.g., immune, vascular, transplant, pain)

  • Psychiatric conditions (e.g., anxiety, mood, PTSD, and substance abuse)

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., learning disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum)
