Description
Clinical Psychologist / Neuropsychology Practice :

More than 25 years experience.

Treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, addictions. Cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Assessment for ADHD, memory disorders, dementia, head injury, RAF and medico-legal.

A neuropsychological assessment usually consists of two main parts, namely the history-taking and the testing. When you first meet with one of our clinicians, they will conduct a comprehensive interview to gain a full understanding of your medical history, your background, and your current concerns. If you have any medical information that you think is relevant, such as blood work or brain scans, or if you are taking any medication, you should share this information with your clinician. Once we feel we have a good understanding of what your concern is, we will start the neurocognitive testing. This is usually done in a second session, with short pen-and-paper tests and verbal tests. Each assessment is planned according to the specific requirements of the patient, and adaptations are made to accommodate any difficulties with speech, hearing, etc. The test findings are important to make a proper diagnosis and to decide what treatment will be best for you. Once completed, we will compile a report for your referring doctor, and will suggest you come in for a feedback session where we explain what, if any, difficulties we found, and discuss how you should move forward to adapt to these difficulties. Where necessary, we may refer you to other professionals, such as Neurologists, Speech Therapists, or Occupational Therapists.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) rests on the basic premise that irrational or distorted thinking within us leads to symptoms; it is not the past that causes us to be unhappy, depressed, anxious or sad, but what we are telling ourselves about the past. Distorted perceptions from the past, which we continue to believe, make us unhappy and dysfunctional. Most of these beliefs are.
