A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of how your brain affects your thinking, behavior, and emotions. It involves standardized testing, clinical interviews, and behavioral observations to understand strengths and challenges in areas like attention, memory, executive functioning, learning, language, and social-emotional processing. The result is a detailed report with a clear diagnostic picture and practical recommendations.

It depends on the complexity of the referral question, but most evaluations involve an initial clinical interview (60-90 minutes), one to two testing sessions (2-4 hours each), and a feedback session. The full process typically takes 2-4 weeks from start to final report.

A psychologist is trained in assessment, diagnosis, and psychotherapy. A behavior analyst specializes in understanding behavior patterns and designing interventions based on applied behavior analysis (ABA). I hold both credentials, which gives me a uniquely comprehensive perspective on how people think, feel, and behave.

Yes. Therapy is available via telehealth for anyone located in California. Some evaluation components may also be conducted via telehealth, depending on the nature of the assessment.
