Why Choose Us

Neuropsychology is a highly specialized field that requires knowledge of brain-behavior relationships, neuroanatomy, neurological disorders, and the impact of various medical conditions on cognitive and emotional functioning. Neuropsychologists are clinical psychologists that have received formalized training in this subspecialty, which requires specific coursework and experiences in grad school and a post-doctoral residency in neuropsychology. Our neuropsychologists at PNBC are either board-certified in clinical neuropsychology, or eligible for board-certification (and are going through the process). Board-certification in neuropsychology helps consumers to know that the neuropsychologist has been through rigorous peer-review and has met the standards to demonstrate high competency in the field of neuropsychology. Criteria for being eligible for board-certification can be found here.

Step 1: Intake Interview

1-2 Hours
In-person or online

You will meet with the neuropsychologist or psychologist for a clinical interview and to discuss your areas of concern. Prior to your appointment, the evaluator may request that you or your provider send relevant medical or academic records for collateral information.

Step 2: Testing

2-6 Hours
In-person or online*

Neuropsychological testing must be done in person. Online assessment is available for ADHD screeners and some psychodiagnostic cases, which would be determined by the evaluator during step one.

*Neuropsychological testing must be done in-person.

Step 3: Feedback

1 Hour
In-person or online

After the evaluator has completed the report, you would have a feedback session to discuss the results, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations.*

*A feedback session may not be available for non-clinical or organization-referred cases.

What is the Difference Between a Neuropsychological and a Psychological Evaluation?

A neuropsychological or psychological evaluation is a great place to start to come up with a proper diagnosis and a specific treatment plan. Neuropsychologists and psychologists perform comprehensive evaluations that take into account multiple factors that might be leading to a person’s symptoms, including medical history, psychosocial factors, medication side effects, and psychodiagnostic test profiles.

Neuropsychologists are trained in learning about both psychiatric conditions as well as neurological conditions, and may be ideal in performing more complex evaluations in which there may be a question about differentiating between psychiatric and neurologic conditions. Neuropsychological evaluations at PNBC are conducted by board-certified or board-eligible neuropsychologists who have received specialized training in neurologic conditions, psychometrics, and proper interpretation of neuropsychological tests.

Similarly, a psychological evaluation focuses on comprehensive and objective evaluation of a person’s mood, behavior, and personality. The difference from neuropsychological evaluations is that psychological evaluation does not include the comprehensive assessment of cognitive functioning. A psychological evaluation is useful to determine an appropriate psychiatric diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.
