Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology is a specialty within CHA’s Department of Psychiatry that works to understand the relationships between the brain and behavior. Our team of neuropsychologists and trainees see patients with a variety of neurological, medical, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders to understand their health issues and help them function better in their daily lives.

Core to this service is assessing patients and testing their cognitive abilities. This may include tests for learning, memory, language, coordination, visual-spatial skills, processing speed, problem-solving, and emotions. The results often show a pattern of strengths and weaknesses that let us better understand individual health needs and create personalized treatment plans for each patient.

Our team members are trained in culturally-informed neuropsychological practice. This means we are able to care for people from diverse ethnic, racial, linguistic and cultural backgrounds. We assess patients with medical interpreters, as needed, in many languages.
