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.

To ensure accessibility to assessments and evaluations, we accept most major insurance plans and offer competitive private-pay rates, while prioritizing flexible and timely scheduling.
Why Choose Us?
The Search for Clarity
- Most practices don’t take insurance, and you can’t afford the cost of an assessment.
- Most offices are backed up, and it’s nearly impossible to get an evaluation appointment.
- As an adult, you can finally seek help that may have been frowned upon when you were a child (many families and cultures still have a stigma around mental health).
- You have been through a revolving door of mental health professionals without getting a clear answer.
- Therapy and/or medication have been ineffective.
- Your child’s teachers have complained over the years but never provided help.
It’s not one thing; your school, work, and home life are all hurting. You need lasting results.
