Adult & Geriatric Assessment
Adult and Geriatric neuropsychological evaluations identify a patient’s capacity for independent living, driving, and returning to school or work.
Dr. Friedman has particular expertise in the area of memory loss and Adult ADHD but also accepts clients dealing with academic, behavioral, and/or occupational issues secondary to traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other neurological-based disorders.
We provide comprehensive memory and cognitive assessment and treatment recommendations for known or suspected neurologic or neuropsychiatric disorders, such as memory disorders, dementia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, and neurocognitive and behavioral impairments resulting from physical illness. We also help differentiate between memory disorders and other issues that can mimic dementia, like medication effects or emotional factors.
We provide an individualized and comprehensive report which presents the content of the assessment and individualized recommendations that will be beneficial for the patient and their physician. Adult and Geriatric neuropsychology


Our assessment philosophy
Our assessment philosophy takes into account your entire life circumstances in order to provide the most thorough and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your needs. Have you ever had an experience with a doctor that made you feel as if you weren’t being heard? Or have you ever been frustrated with a therapist who seems to ‘mean well, but doesn’t seem to know how to fix your problems?
We strive for a better way of treating people by accepting the fact that every person is unique and thus avoid the pitfalls of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ philosophy. Instead, we focus on providing individualized care that is specific to each person’s needs.
One way that we deliver this personalized care is through neuropsychological assessments. This type of assessment goes beyond simply looking at symptoms and diagnosis. Instead, it looks at the unique way that each person’s brain functions in relation to their individual history and experiences. This information helps us to develop a much more nuanced understanding of each person’s strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this knowledge, we can then tailor our treatment recommendations in a way that will be much more likely to lead to lasting change.
If you are struggling with any number of issues, big or small, we encourage you to reach out to us. We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care. And we would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to healing.

Patients who may benefit from an adult or geriatric neuropsychological evaluation are those experiencing any type of neurological-based disorder, including but not limited to stroke, traumatic brain injury, and memory loss. The goal of the evaluation is to identify the patient’s capacity for independent living, driving, and returning to school or work. Dr. Friedman has particular expertise in the area of memory loss and Adult ADHD but also accepts clients dealing with academic, behavioral, and/or occupational issues secondary to their neurological disorder. Through a comprehensive assessment that may include cognitive testing, symptom questionnaires, and clinical interviews, Dr. Friedman will gain a thorough understanding of the patient’s functioning in order to make recommendations for treatment and/or accommodations.
Adult and geriatric assessment is provided by our center in order to help those with cognitive impairments. We offer a wide variety of services to help with known or suspected disorders such as memory disorders, dementia, TBI, stroke, brain tumors, and neurocognitive/behavioral impairments resulting from physical illness. We also help to factor in things that could be mistaken for dementia such as medication effects or emotional state. Our comprehensive report will cover the assessment in full as well as give specific tailored recommendations for each individual case. This allows for better understanding and insight for those struggling with these difficult issues. Our goal is to provide the best possible support in order to ease some of the burden placed on both the sufferers and their loved ones.
