Neuropsychology Services
Neuropsychology Evaluations
Gaylord’s Neuropsychology Service includes a team of four staff neuropsychologists and four per diem clinicians who specialize in understanding how changes in the brain affect thinking, memory, emotions, and behavior.
We provide comprehensive evaluations for individuals ages 5 through 90 and older, with expertise across a wide range of medical, neurological, and psychiatric conditions—including concussion and traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and all forms of dementia (such as Alzheimer’s, vascular, and Lewy body).
A neuropsychological evaluation can help identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses in thinking and memory to clarify diagnoses, guide treatment, and support recovery or daily functioning. Each evaluation is tailored to the individual’s needs—some may take two to three hours, while others require additional time for more detailed assessment. Our team collaborates closely with physicians and rehabilitation specialists to ensure that every evaluation leads to meaningful, actionable recommendations.
Experts find that professional talk therapy is helpful while grieving the loss of one’s physical or mental capabilities. Many people separate their life as the time “before” or “after” their health-related crisis and have difficulties adjusting to their new “normal” following a life-changing medical event.
As one proceeds through physical healing, it’s vital to address the emotional and mental health issues that can accompany these challenges.
Gaylord’s licensed clinical social workers are trained to help those who have undergone a significant change in their physical health.
Inpatient Care
Patients admitted for an injury or illness exhibiting signs indicating a change in their mental status or are in need of counseling services may be seen by a member of our psychology department. The inpatient team will facilitate appropriate services.
Outpatient Care
If problems with memory or an inability to think clearly have become a continuing problem, you may be a candidate for a Neuropsychological Evaluation to provide a diagnosis and plan of treatment. Our experts uses a set of standardized tests and procedures to systematically develop a comprehensive assessment of a number of cognitive and behavioral functions.
