Clinical Neuropsychology

Diagnostic assessment for attention, memory, and learning related difficulties Cognitive rehabilitation

Should read "clinical neuropsychiatry" but that wasn't an available option. My practice is psychiatry based, which considers medical, physiological & brain/cognitive differences in addition to psychological factors. Possibilities of neurodivergence (being neurodiverse), as well as cognitive and sensory differences are evaluated and considered in addition to psychological aspects. Neurodivergence, Asperger's & ASD1 assessment & diagnosis is available.

With a focus on understanding the intricate connections between brain function and behavior, I specialize in clinical neuropsychology to address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges. My expertise lies in conducting assessments, diagnosing, and tailoring interventions for individuals experiencing neurological or cognitive issues. I am committed to applying evidence-based strategies to enhance functioning and improve quality of life.

I am a clinical professional counselor and psychometry specialist offering psychological testing services for adult experiences of neurodivergence including ADHD and Autism. Both assessment and counseling services are informed by the fundamentals of neuroanatomy and neurofunction as they apply to experiences of neurodivergence as well as anxiety, stress, depression, and other common mental health challenges.

Please note this should read neuropsychiatry - which is different than neuropsychology. Psychiatry includes neurophysiology and medical aspects of psych as well as feelings and emotion states. With this, I offer neurocognitive testing for attention (ADHD) issues, Asperger's (ASD1), Cognition issues (such as brain fog impact from long-covid, CFS), learning differences, etc. This type of testing objectively measures working memory, processing speed, executive function, memory & other elements.

Diagnostic assessment Cognitive rehabilitation

I utilize neuropsychology to show you the connection between your brain, emotions, and physical body, helping you eliminate anxiety, depression and anger once and for all.

I specialize in comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions for neurological and psychiatric conditions. My expertise is backed by a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in neuropsychology, where I honed skills in evaluating brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, developmental disabilities, and psychiatric disorders. This training deepened my understanding of brain function and behavior relationships, allowing me to provide evidence-based, accurate assessments.

Real Psychiatric Services incorporates Clinical Neuropsychology to understand and treat cognitive and behavioral changes linked to brain disorders. The foundation of this approach is the comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, which scrutinizes various cognitive domains like attention, memory, language, visuospatial skills, and executive functions. This helps in pinpointing cognitive strengths and weaknesses, guiding the treatment planning process.

Clinical Neuropsychology is a specialty field within clinical psychology, dedicated to understanding the relationships between brain and behavior, particularly as these relationships can be applied to the diagnosis of brain disorder, assessment of cognitive and behavioral functioning and the design of effective treatment. Evaluations determine strengths and weaknesses, and treatment uses the strengths to help compensate for the weaknesses.

Along with my outpatient therapy specialties, I've worked for many years in both inpatient and outpatient facilities conducting neuropsychological and forensic assessments since 2013. From university hospitals to state psychiatric hospitals, I've honed my diagnostic skills to best assist individuals find the answers they are seeking.

Psychological and educational testing provides information for diagnosis, therapy and behavioral treatment planning, academic planning with identified interventions/accommodations, and for a better understanding of one’s learning, behavior, and functioning. My assessments are designed to meet the individual needs of each youth and the diagnostic questions posed.

I specialize in neuropsychological assessment for a variety of concerns, including memory and learning challenges, neurodevelopmental conditions (autism, ADHD, intellectual disability), as well as traumatic brain injuries. My goal is to help you understand your brain and get the support you need.

As a neuropsychologist, I delve into the intricate brain-behavior relationship, assisting individuals with neurological conditions. Employing assessments and interviews, I decipher unique puzzles in understanding brain function. Witnessing resilience in the face of challenges is rewarding. I stay current on neuropsychology research for enhanced diagnostics and evidence-based interventions.
