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.
