COVID-19 Important Notice

This is a difficult time for all of us. COVID-19 is affecting our physical and emotional health, as well as the health of our economy.

We hear you, and we are committed to helping you through this difficult period. We have experienced therapists available to help you. Many of our services are available to you through telehealth.

Clinical Psychology

Our clinical psychologists work with you to develop solutions for adults, adolescents, and children struggling with psychological, emotional, school, relationship and other problems. We begin by working to develop a clear understanding of the nature of the problem using the best available assessment methods. Targeted treatment approaches are developed to help you to reach a resolution of your problem.

Medical Psychology

Certain conditions may benefit from or require administration of psychotropic medications in conjunction with other interventions. Our medical psychologists are experienced and trained to assess these conditions and prescribe therapeutic and pharmacological treatments. Evaluation of psychiatric medication and administration where appropriate, can be integral in managing mental, nervous, emotional, behavioral, or cognitive disorders including substance abuse and is an important part of overall health.

Neuropsychology

Brain diseases and trauma can alter brain function. These changes can affect mental faculties, such as concentration and memory, two of the many important abilities needed for our performance in work and life. Our neuropsychologists are specially trained in the assessment and treatment of brain related dysfunction and impairments. Neuropsychological evaluation, a comprehensive evaluation of mental faculties, is an important step in assessing any problems with brain function.

Behavioral Medicine

Medical diseases, physical injury and pain are commonly accompanied by emotional symptoms and difficulties. Our psychologists have special training in the assessment and treatment of emotional difficulties that occur with medical conditions including pain.

Research

Our psychologists are affiliated with local academic institutions, including University of New Orleans Department of Psychology, Tulane University Medical School, and LSU Health Sciences Center. We are actively involved in research and have published peer reviewed research in some of the best journals in our field.

Assessment

Since our group is composed of psychologists, we are experts in the latest testing and assessment methods. We will tailor an assessment approach that helps us to gain the best understanding of the problems facing you and your family.

Intervention

Our psychologists will work with you to tailor an intervention approach that will help you reach a resolution of your problem in the quickest, most efficient manner. A specific approach to the resolution of your problem will be generated as a result of the assessment.

Forensic Consultation

Our psychologists and neuropsychologists have served as expert witnesses in state and federal courts in cases involving damages from causes such as: traumatic brain injury, acute and chronic pain, psychological/emotional disorders (depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), emotional problems resulting from toxic exposure, and cognitive impairment including claims of memory, and concentration impairment.

Rehabilitation

Some medical and psychological problems require a more comprehensive approach to help patients overcome symptoms and return to more normal levels of function that includes returns to independence and return to work. Our psychologists can work with other professionals and specialized facilities to coordinate rehabilitation treatments for a variety of problems, such as traumatic brain injury, pain, and spinal cord injuries.
