How a Neuropsychologist Can Help
Living in New York can be fast-paced and demanding, which can sometimes make it difficult to recognize when changes in brain function, emotional wellbeing, or cognitive function need professional attention. An evaluation under the supervision of a neuropsychologist with clinical experience can help individuals and families better understand how the brain affects thinking, behavior, and daily life. These exams and evaluations often help clarify academic, occupational, or daily functioning concerns, especially when cognitive changes begin to affect school, work, or relationships.
Through comprehensive neuropsychological services, our compassionate team conducts detailed neuropsychological assessments that help assess memory, attention, reasoning, and information processing. Using standardized methods, a cognitive clinical specialist can determine patterns of strengths and weaknesses that may point to a neurological, psychological, or psychiatric condition. This diagnostic examination allows our clinical neuropsychologists to diagnose and better understand concerns such as ADHD, neurodevelopmental issues, cognitive and learning disabilities, autism, depression, trauma or PTSD or age-related conditions like dementia. Our psychological and neuropsychological practice is recognized by the American Psychological Association.
