The assessment process is broken into clear sessions so the clinician can gather background information, complete the required assessment tasks, prepare the report and discuss the results with you.
Session 1: Intake Session

This session may be completed in clinic or via Telehealth.
Session 2: Cognitive Assessment Session
2 hour in-clinic cognitive assessment using the WAIS-IV.
Session 3: Attention Assessment Session

Psychologists are not able to prescribe medication.
