Neuropsychology Consult: In-depth clinical interviewing and review of relevant medical records, for the purposes of gathering relevant information to address concerns related to brain conditions, including illness or injury. Essentially, this is the first step of a Neuropsychological Evaluation. Professional expertise is provided to both address relevant concerns, and to provide input on the potential benefits of pursuing a comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation or not, for the specific situation. If the decision is made to pursue a Neuropsychological Evaluation within 6 weeks of the Neuropsychology Consult, the cost of the Neuropsychological Evaluation is reduced.
Brain Health Optimization Consult: In-depth clinical interviewing and review of relevant medical records, for those with interest in taking an inventory of their current situation (e.g. factors that affect brain health, including physical health, eating habits, activity level, emotional health, and other important dimensions of brain health), for the purposes of creating a personal action plan for improved brain health. Professional expertise is provided to assist with crafting a personal action plan, as well as to address the need for referral to other professional services and/or activities that may promote improved brain health. The focus of this service is on a general interest in brain health, and not specific concerns related to medical diagnoses (for this, one may want to review the Neuropsychology Consult, or Neuropsychological Evaluation).
