Just last month, a family right here in Forest Hills came to us at our office, located at 114-20 Queens Blvd Cs2. Their child, a bright 7-year-old, started having trouble in school. Teachers said it was ADHD, but the parents felt like it was more. It took just a few sessions of talking and some careful Neuropsychological Testing for us to see the full picture. It wasn’t just focus; there was a slight Learning Disabilities and a bit of Anxiety mixed in. Getting those real answers changed everything for that family. Our psychologist in New York specializes in these complex cases for adults and children.

Neuropsychological Testing
What to do when your brain feels stuck
“Who’s the best neuropsychological expert near me?” This is the first thing people in Manhattan usually ask. The truth is, the “best” is the one who gives you the clearest, most helpful answers.
Neuropsychological evaluation is like getting a detailed map of how your brain works. It’s not just an exam; it’s a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment that provides an accurate diagnosis. We look at your memory, attention, problem-solving skills, and how you process information. This includes looking at processing speed. It helps us understand why things that should be easy feel hard. It’s really helpful if the individual has Memory Issues or if a head injury causes Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. We use these formal tests to figure out the root of the disorder, whether it’s related to ADHD or conditions including Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Our detailed reports give teachers, doctors, and therapists the exact info they need to help the persons reach their full potential. This assessment can provide valuable insights.

Psychological and Psychiatric Testing
Getting to the heart of how you feel
Sometimes, the issue isn’t just about thinking; it’s about feeling. Life in New York can be super stressful, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you’ve been feeling sad, worried, or just not yourself for a long time, we need to look deeper.
Psychological and Psychiatric Testing helps us tell the difference between feeling stressed and something more serious, like Depression or Anxiety. We look at your behavioral health. Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder before, and you need a fresh look at your treatment plan. These evaluations are key. They help a Psychiatrist or Psychotherapist assess your mood, personality, and emotional state. This part of our work is about making sure your treatment for things like Behavior Problems or extreme feelings is spot-on. Our goal is to improve your quality of life and wellbeing.

Psycho-Educational Testing
School shouldn't be a struggle every day
It’s heartbreaking to see a smart kid struggle with schoolwork. In neighborhoods like Midtown and Greenwich Village, the schools are good, but the pressure is high. If your child is putting in tons of effort but still getting poor grades, they might have a Learning Disability.
Our Psycho-Educational Testing looks at how a student learns, their strengths, and where they need extra support. We look for learning disabilities, especially dyslexia or math issues. We also check for links to ADHD. We use standardized measures. This neuropsychological test isn’t just for kids, either. Many adolescents and adults in Brooklyn getting advanced degrees find this testing helps them get accommodation, such as extra time on standardized tests, they need. The results of this testing give you and the school a clear plan to turn frustration into success.
Autism Testing
Understanding the unique way your child sees the world
If your child is having developmental delays or struggles with connecting with others, parents often worry about Autism. It’s a huge, scary word for many parents, but getting a neuropsychological evaluation just means getting a clearer path forward.
We provide a thorough evaluation for autism. We look closely at social skills, repetitive behaviors, and how a child communicates. This is super important if there are Speech / Language Delays and Problems or a possible auditory processing disorder. We work with families all over NYC to understand their child’s unique profile and help them comprehend the diagnoses. The diagnostic process is the start; it opens the door to services like working with a Psychomotor therapist, an occupational therapist, or a Psychosocial therapist, and getting the right support in a Mental health service setting. A neuropsychologist will help tailor rehabilitation strategies.
Forensic Psychology Practice and Psychiatric Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations Practice

We keep all this clinical work private and professional.

Planning a major surgery, like a bariatric procedure, or starting a new, demanding medical treatment? Doctors, like your referring physician or neurologist, often need to know if you are mentally ready for the big change.
