The Neuropsychology Clinic offers comprehensive psychological evaluations to determine the nature and extent of a person’s psychiatric and emotional functioning. The evaluation generally involves multiple components, which include an in-depth intake interview, behavioral observations, answering questions verbally, receiving a physical test, and completing self-assessment questionnaires, checklists and surveys.
