Neuropsychological Testing
Our comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations examine brain functions including memory, attention, and cognitive abilities while considering psychiatric and social-emotional factors. This diagnostic process helps identify learning disorders, developmental conditions, and cognitive impairments through standardized testing protocols. Patients receive detailed reports with personalized recommendations for treatment plans, educational accommodations, and workplace adjustments.
Psycho-Educational Testing
Specialized assessments identify learning strengths, weaknesses, and processing challenges in students. We evaluate for specific learning disorders like dyslexia and dyscalculia while analyzing processing speed and memory issues. Results guide educational planning through actionable recommendations for individualized education programs and classroom accommodations tailored to each student's unique learning profile.
Fitness-for-Duty Examination
Psychiatric fitness-for-duty evaluations determine an individual's ability to safely perform job responsibilities. We provide unbiased assessments for law enforcement, military personnel, educators, and other professionals requiring mental health clearance. These examinations help employers make informed decisions about job placement and safety while maintaining legal compliance.
Medical Clearance
Comprehensive psychological assessments for bariatric surgery and gender-affirming procedures ensure patients receive appropriate medical care. Our evaluations address mental health readiness while identifying potential risk factors that might affect surgical outcomes. This service helps both patients and medical teams make informed decisions about treatment plans.

Expert forensic evaluations provide critical insights for legal proceedings including child custody cases, immigration hardship waivers, and medical malpractice claims.
