Transform Your Child’s Life with Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic

Your child is unique, so why should their neuropsychological treatments be the same as everyone else’s?

What Is Neuropsychology?

Neuropsychology examines brain function and how it can affect thoughts and behaviors. If a person has a specific neuropsychological condition, neuropsychology can create a treatment targeting various underdeveloped areas of the brain. Concentrating on those areas can make progress easier and faster.

Why Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic?

Nestled in Palo Alto, Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic provides personalized, medication-free treatments for parents and children struggling with neuropsychological conditions. Beginning with a neuropsychological assessment, we dive into the root causes of cognitive weaknesses, developmental issues, and more.

From there, we develop personalized treatment plans and use Transformative Brain Training and supportive therapy to help parents and children navigate the challenges of neurological and psychological conditions.

Telehealth Options

At Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, we bring the care of our clinic to your home. Despite being a Bay Area neuropsychology center, we are committed to providing exceptional support and care for parents and children struggling with neuropsychological conditions all over the country. Through HIPAA-protected video conferencing, shared screens, and customized home kits, clinicians and trainers work with you in real time to motivate and guide your sessions.

Neuropsychological assessments are a valuable tool for clinical neuropsychologists to assess brain-behavior relationships and identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses. These assessments typically involve standardized tests that measure various cognitive functions, such as memory or executive function. 

They can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments and track changes in cognitive function over time.

After completing a thorough neuropsychological assessment, we can identify key strengths and weaknesses within a person’s brain function and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Many therapies for ADHD, learning disabilities, or other neuropsychological conditions use medication to address various symptoms. However, medication is only effective while in a person’s system. Once the dose wears off, they will return to their baseline and continue to experience the symptoms of their condition.

Our ADHD and autism center strives to provide medication-free treatments that address cognitive issues at their root rather than the surface. For every client, we develop a personalized plan including one or more of the following treatments:

Unlike many medication-based treatments, our programs provide comprehensive, long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between a Neuropsychologist and a Psychologist?

A neuropsychologist focuses on how your brain functions can affect your behavior, mood, and thinking skills. A psychologist focuses on biological and environmental factors that affect those same things.

Neither option is incorrect; they just approach the problem differently. Often, neuropsychologists and psychologists work together—like at Abbey Neuropsychological Clinic.

You would see a neuropsychologist if you notice changes in behaviors, mood, or cognitive skills in yourself or a loved one. You can also see a neuropsychologist if you are concerned about how a brain injury may or may not have affected you.

Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic treats people of all ages. This is why we often highlight our customized plans: A plan for an 8-year-old will not work for an 80-year-old and vice versa.

We would never suggest or implement an unsafe treatment, whether a person is an adult or a child. After the initial assessment, which is harmless, we discuss with the parents the next steps for treating your child.

If you or your child feel uncomfortable at any point in the treatment process, we will adapt and change the plan.

This is an impossible question to answer because each treatment plan is designed for the individual. Some people see changes after a few sessions, while others take longer. After receiving an assessment, you can ask about a treatment timeline to get a better idea.

We are open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 7 pm PST. On Saturdays, we are open 9 am to 12 pm PST.
