Stroke, Dementia, and Complex Brain Conditions
When an individual begins experiencing changes in memory, thinking, or personality, a brief screening is often not enough. A comprehensive, medically informed evaluation can provide a clearer understanding of what is happening and what steps to take next.
These neuropsychological evaluations are designed for adults with stroke, dementia, and complex neurocognitive conditions. The goal is to clarify diagnosis, guide medical care, and provide practical recommendations for daily functioning and long-term planning.
Specialized Adult Neuropsychological Evaluations
Who This Evaluation Supports
Referrals are often made by families, neurologists, primary care physicians, and other specialists when a more in-depth, brain-based evaluation is needed.
These evaluations are appropriate for adults and older adults experiencing:
✔ Suspected or diagnosed dementia or mild cognitive impairment
✔ Stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or vascular brain changes
✔ Complex medical or neurological conditions affecting cognition (e.g., epilepsy, autoimmune or metabolic disorders, cardiac or pulmonary issues, prolonged ICU stays)
✔ Changes in memory, attention, language, planning, or personality that are not yet explained
✔ Concerns about driving safety, independent living, work capacity, or financial decision-making after a neurological event
Fees and Value
A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is an investment in clarity and informed decision-making.
Fees reflect:
-
Advanced training in brain–behavior relationships
-
Integration of medical and neurological information
-
Significant time spent outside of appointments on scoring, interpretation, report writing, and care coordination
Services are provided as out-of-network. A detailed receipt (superbill) can be provided for potential reimbursement, depending on insurance benefits.
When to Consider an Evaluation
A neuropsychological evaluation may be helpful when:
✔ Memory lapses, confusion, or word-finding difficulties are increasing
✔ There has been a stroke or TIA and cognitive changes are unclear
✔ Providers are unsure whether symptoms are neurological, psychological, or medical in nature
✔ There are concerns about driving, medication management, finances, or independent living
✔ Family members have differing perspectives on the severity of changes
Early and accurate assessment can help guide treatment, support planning, and reduce uncertainty for individuals and their families.

We're here to answer your questions and connect you with the right psychologist or therapist.
Unlike general psychological evaluations that focus primarily on mood and behavior, these evaluations are specifically designed for brain-based conditions.
Each evaluation is:
✔ Medically informed: Incorporates review of imaging, lab results, and medical records to understand how health factors impact brain functioning
✔Functionally focused: Translates results into clear, practical guidance for everyday safety, independence, work, and caregiving needs
✔Designed for complexity: Addresses cases involving multiple medical conditions, overlapping diagnoses, or unclear clinical presentations
The focus is not just on test scores, but on creating a clear and actionable plan.

What to Expect from the Evaluation
A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation typically includes:
✔ A detailed clinical interview (with the individual and, when appropriate, a family member or caregiver)
✔ Review of medical history, imaging, and medications
✔ In-depth testing of memory, attention, language, problem-solving, processing speed, and emotional functioning
✔ Careful interpretation of results within the context of medical and personal history
✔ A comprehensive written report with diagnostic impressions (when appropriate), prognosis, and tailored recommendations
✔ A feedback session to review results, answer questions, and discuss next steps
Findings can be shared with medical providers to support coordinated care.
Why Choose a Private Evaluation Setting
In many hospital-based systems, evaluations may be limited by time constraints and long waitlists. A private setting allows for:
✔ More timely access to care
✔Greater time dedicated to each evaluation
✔Focus on complex or nuanced cases
✔Detailed reporting that addresses real-world concerns such as safety, independence, and long-term planning
This approach supports a more thorough and individualized evaluation process.
