Neuropsychology

We help people whose thinking abilities, such as memory concerns, and other behaviors have been impacted by conditions affecting the brain: 

• Traumatic brain injury, which occurs when a jolt to the head damages brain tissue.  
• Dementia, which is a type of brain disease with symptoms such as confusion that worsens over time.
