Rehabilitation Neuropsychology

The Good Shepherd Psychology Group uses clinical evaluations and formalized testing to assess brain function in the areas of cognitive abilities, behavior and
emotion.

We are highly skilled in providing treatment that helps you or your loved one maximize strengths and adapt to existing challenges.

Your emotions, perceptions, behavior and thinking functions often are affected by illness or trauma. We specialize in how brain function – including cognitive functions, such as attention and memory, as well as thoughts and feelings – relate to neurological and physical function. We help you and your family face diagnoses, conditions and disabilities, and assist those preparing for surgery.

Our goal is to help you adapt effectively to living with a disability or chronic medical condition so that you are able to participate in fulfilling activities.

What to Expect During Your First Neuropsychology Appointment

• We get to know you, your treatment/ testing needs and your goals. We discuss your medical history, illness or injury, medications and emotional history, and develop a testing and treatment plan.
• If you were referred to Good Shepherd for testing, this could take two to eight hours; it often will be scheduled as a follow-up to your initial appointment.
• We will review results with you as soon as the report is complete; you and your referring physician will receive a final report within four to six weeks.
