Neuropsychological Evaluations for Children, Teens, and Adults

Get clarity on learning, attention, memory, and emotional functioning—with

practical recommendations you can use.

WELCOME

I am delighted to welcome you to my practice, where your journey toward better understanding and improved well-being begins. My practice specializes in comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing for children, adolescents, and adults. Whether you are seeking answers about learning difficulties, attention challenges, emotional concerns, or developmental issues, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

 

As a psychologist, I believe that knowledge is empowering. My goal is to provide you with a clear, compassionate, and thorough evaluation that leads to meaningful insights and practical recommendations. Each assessment is carefully tailored to your unique needs, and I work closely with you to ensure that you feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the process.
 

I am committed to creating a respectful and welcoming environment where your questions are valued and your experiences are heard. I am passionate about helping you discover your strengths and better navigate any challenges you may be facing.

 

Thank you for trusting me with your care. I look forward to working together and helping you take the next steps toward greater understanding and success.

 

Warmly,

​

Susan Schmidt, Ph.D.
