Brain Health Assessment

Neuropsychological Assessment for Age-Related Memory and Cognitive Changes
Get Started

We don’t use a “one size fits all” approach to measuring brain health. Your licensed psychologist will apply their expertise in neuropsychology to assess your cognitive functioning and provide highly personalized, science-backed recommendations. 

During our Brain Health Assessment, you’ll complete a series of interactive tasks—think puzzles and quizzes—along with a guided conversation that helps us better understand your memory, attention, and thinking skills. The process is thoughtfully tailored to you, so there’s no unnecessary testing or irrelevant tasks..

We also move faster than traditional providers, so you won’t have to wait months for an appointment or answers. Most clients and families receive results within six weeks.

We know testing can feel stressful, so we do everything we can to make the process affirming, individualized, and as comfortable as possible.

    Why you might choose this evaluation 

  • I often lose or misplace things more often than I used to.
  • I sometimes struggle to find the right words.
  • I feel disoriented or get lost more easily when walking or driving.
  • Managing everyday tasks and routines has become more difficult.

What are the benefits of testing for cognitive problems and other signs of brain dysfunction?

Understand yourself or your child better

Knowing how your symptoms uniquely affect you can help differentiate between typical cognitive changes and signs of something more serious. We’ll also determine if additional testing is needed to assess for other concerns—such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, ALS, psychiatric conditions, or other medical issues.

Recognize long-term effects

Understanding why you’re experiencing changes in memory or thinking is important. Testing can help determine whether your memory or cognitive changes are within the range of what’s expected, or whether they’re indicative of other conditions, like dementia, brain injury, ALS, or Parkinson’s disease that may require additional care.

Experience greater self-compassion

A Brain Health Assessment can be an important act of self-care, especially as you age or notice changes in mental sharpness. Learning whether your symptoms are in line with what’s expected or related to something more serious can bring peace of mind and support thoughtful planning. It’s normal to feel anxious about the results—we aim to offer clarity and reassurance while empowering you with meaningful next steps.

Determine appropriate treatment or support

Being informed is an essential first step. This evaluation helps guide treatment decisions or specialist referrals. It also creates a valuable baseline for your cognitive health, which can be referenced in any future follow-up testing.

Access workplace or academic accommodations

If testing reveals neurocognitive difficulties, our comprehensive summary report may support access to accommodations at work, school, or in other areas of daily life. Individuals with neurocognitive weaknesses or impairment may be able to access accommodations at work or in other environments with our comprehensive summary report.

What should I expect for the evaluation?

We’ll focus on two main goals:

What if I receive a neurocognitive disorder diagnosis?

Whether or not you’re diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder, we’re here to support you and guide your next steps. If other mental health concerns like anxiety or depression are present, we’ll likely assess and diagnose these through our discovery appointment. If we think further neuropsychological testing is needed, we can refer you to trusted specialists and coordinate care as needed.If you're looking for additional support with other mental health concerns, we offer evidence-based therapy in person and via telehealth.
