Neuropsychological testing, done thoroughly

Neuropsychological testing measures the relationship between brain function and daily life across memory, attention, processing speed, language, visual reasoning, executive function, and mood. It clarifies a diagnosis, establishes a baseline you can be compared against later, and translates findings into a plan your physician can act on.

The question is never only whether ADHD is present, but what else could account for what you are experiencing — anxiety, depression, disrupted sleep, a learning difference, or a genuinely unsustainable set of demands. Each is examined, and each calls for something different.

Testing clarifies what reflects ordinary aging, stress, or disrupted sleep, and what reflects mild cognitive impairment or an early neurodegenerative process. Either way, you leave with objective measurements rather than reassurance.

Following long COVID, autoimmune disease, chemotherapy, concussion, chronic pain, sleep disorders, or the perimenopausal transition, testing identifies which cognitive systems are affected and how severely. Naming the change precisely is what makes it treatable, and what makes it credible to an employer, a physician, or an insurer.

Planning, initiation, organization, working memory, emotional regulation, and follow-through, evaluated objectively. Also for adults with a family history of dementia or a vascular or metabolic risk profile who want a documented baseline while everything still feels intact.

Focused psychological evaluation for transplant, bariatric surgery, spinal cord stimulator trials, and pain management programs. Surgical teams receive documentation written to their requirements; patients receive an explanation of what is being assessed and why.

Objective evaluation for licensed professionals seeking reinstatement or a fitness determination through a monitoring or recovery program. The work is careful, the findings are neutral, and the report is written for the body that will read it.

Existing testing data and records are reviewed against current standards. Where the question remains open, the necessary measures are re-administered — rather than repeating an entire battery you have already completed.

Primarily for patients continuing after an evaluation, and for adults working through the practical and emotional adjustment that follows a new diagnosis of ADHD, cognitive change, or post-illness impairment. This is not a general counseling practice.

Women are told for years that memory lapses, word-finding trouble, and lost focus are simply stress, hormones, or age. Testing separates hormonal and sleep-driven change from ADHD that was never identified in girlhood, from mood, and from early cognitive disease. The result is an objective profile and a plan you can take to your gynecologist, endocrinologist, or primary care physician.
