We offer a wide range of comprehensive neuropsych testing and diagnostic services for adults — both men and women — ages 18 and up. We recognize neuropsych testing can be daunting, and we’re passionate about taking the uncertainty and anxiety out of the process.
To put it simply — we use a combination of tests to measure the relationship between brain, emotions, and behavior. Each client will receive an individualized set of tests based on their needs, diagnoses, and unique challenges.
Neuropsych testing is a reliable and accurate tool often used to confirm a mental health diagnosis (such as autism or ADHD), to clarify a cognitive impairment or learning disability, and for employment needs. The results from a neuropsych test are the foundation on which a proper, effective, and life-changing treatment plan can be built.

A trauma assessment is more comprehensive and detailed than a trauma screening.
Trauma screening can be understood as the initial evaluation to identify if an individual has experienced a traumatic incident. Screening is usually a brief assessment including key questions and covering specific topics used to determine if further testing should be pursued. The goal of a screening is to ensure individuals who have experienced trauma are given a more in-depth assessment in order to begin treatment planning. Screening is the first step in the recovery process.
The screening has confirmed the individual requires further testing, and as such, a trained mental health professional interviews the individual to learn more about the traumatic experience — including the nature of the trauma, the impact of the event, and the effects on the individual's emotion, behavior, mental health and overall wellness. The goal of a trauma assessment is to gain information to begin proper treatment planning and recovery.
