Psychological Evaluations

A psychological evaluation helps assess behavior, personality, and cognitive abilities through testing, record review, and interviews. The results provide a diagnosis (if applicable) and guide treatment recommendations.

  • We are proud to have an experienced Neuropsychologist on our team. Neuropsychologists have additional training and expertise in brain function and cognitive assessment. This allows for a deeper analysis of cognitive processes, especially in conditions like brain injuries, dementia, or other neurological disorders.

  • A neuropsychological evaluation is a formal assessment of mood, personality, and cognitive abilities (e.g., memory, concentration, and problem-solving) that is conducted by a certified Neuropsychologist.

     

    Some key applications of a neuropsychological evaluation include:

    ​

    • Establishing a Baseline: Monitor changes in thinking skills, mood, and personality over time, which helps tailor more effective treatment strategies.

    • Supporting Informed Decisions: Assist patients and families in making informed choices regarding work, daily responsibilities, and life adjustments.

    • Educating Family Members: Help families understand how a brain disorder impacts their loved one, promoting better support and care.

    • Informing Medical Decisions: Provide physicians with insights that can help tailor medications and interventions to the patient’s specific needs.

  • A neuropsychological evaluation may be beneficial for individuals who:

    •  Are considering deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of movement and psychiatric disorders and are required to complete a neuropsychological evaluation to help determine their candidacy for surgery. A second evaluation is often recommended six to twelve months after surgery.

    • Are experiencing cognitive, mood, or personality changes due to neurological conditions such as brain injuries, strokes, or neurodegenerative diseases.

    • Have been diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and are experiencing difficulty with memory, concentration, or problem-solving.

    • Need to assess cognitive abilities related to work, school, or daily functioning after a significant medical event (e.g., surgery, brain injury).

    • Are seeking a comprehensive overview of their cognitive abilities  for personal, academic, or professional decisions.

    • Are involved in legal cases where cognitive functioning or mental health is in question. Neuropsychological evaluations are often used in criminal court cases.
