Your child is unique, so why should their neuropsychological treatments be the same as everyone else’s?
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.
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.
Many parents and their children struggle with different learning disabilities, developmental disorders, or other neuropsychological conditions. These conditions can affect:
And so much more
Here are some of the conditions that our clinical neuropsychologists and expert clinicians treat:
Constant worry, poor concentration, restlessness, and sleep disturbances are all common signs of anxiety. Our clinical team is trained to diagnose anxiety using evidence-based assessment tools and provide innovative treatment plans that relieve your or your child’s symptoms.
People with ADHD are often hyperactive, impulsive, and distracted. Our comprehensive Transformative Brain Program treats ADHD for the long term by addressing the neurological root causes of ADHD to improve quality of life and confidence.
Our ADHD and autism center has devoted years to working with children with autism. We build a personalized, multi-sensory treatment plan for everyone, helping them build on their strengths and fill in developmental gaps.
Cognitive decline can affect an aging individual’s memory, thinking, concentration, and spoken language. Our Transformative Brain Program uses multiple resourceful interventions to help individuals prevent further cognitive decline and recover cognitive functions.
Concussions and TBIs can occur in various circumstances, such as car accidents or sports injuries. They can cause headaches, confusion, memory loss, and more. Our neuro recovery center’s team uses innovative treatments specifically designed for TBIs and concussions.
Depression affects many people and can make them feel worthless, unhappy, fatigued, or uninterested in regular activities. Our neuropsychology center will provide comprehensive treatment plans that address the psychological, biological, and social causes of depression.
We provide a comprehensive mind-body approach to general wellness that propels individuals toward a healthy, thriving life. Through traditional psychotherapy, neurofeedback, light therapy, and whole-body condition programs, we help you achieve wellness throughout your daily life.
Tension headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines affect a large percentage of Americans each year. Our team creates a personalized plan to understand the source of your headache and relieve your symptoms.
We provide comprehensive support for parents and children with learning disabilities like dyslexia, dyscalculia, hyperlexia, dysgraphia, and more. These conditions make it challenging for children to keep up with their peers and perform to the best of their abilities at school.
Our clinical neuropsychologists use advanced brain-training techniques to support individuals dealing with memory loss, spoken language struggles, poor judgment, and delayed information processing. These evidence-based techniques include neurofeedback and light therapy.
People with OCD use specific behavior to get rid of unwanted thoughts, images, or urges. Our Transformative Brain Program utilizes cutting-edge brain training technology to help your brain learn to eliminate intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
People with sensory processing disorders can be overly or under-sensitive to daily stimuli, significantly impacting learning and social interactions. Our comprehensive brain training and support help individuals overcome their sensory processing issues.
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.
If you or your child are dealing with one of the conditions above, you will likely benefit from our comprehensive, medication-free treatment plans and Transformative Brain Program. Reach out today to schedule a prediscovery call and learn how we can help you transform your life.
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.

Julia did a first-class, thorough and helpful job. We were very appreciative of her knowledge and helpful approach. Donovan Byrd2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lemme just put in the review first YET i have not particiapted with their activities with Abbey. I would love to participate but just want to genuinely ask how do people afford this without insurance (500+ per therapy sessinon and ~7k evaluation) on a regular basis. Or are there any other ways that can compensate the fees. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Cancy Han2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a successful startup founder but in the last 20 years I've spent over $250k on doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, dual-diagnosis clinics, and even crazy stuff like IV-ketamine therapy to figure out "what is wrong with my brain". The Abbey Clinic gave me the answers; now they're providing my therapy. I have yet to find a comparable clinic in the Bay Area. For me, they were truly a lifesaver. Shout-out to Dr Korsmo, Dr Barrett, Jordann, and Andrew. 🙏 Pete Curley2023-01-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reports show tremendous improvements in simple attention, complex attention, executive functioning, cognitive flexibility and tremendous improvement in alpha and beta waves control after 6 months. We saw immediate improvement in communication after the first month. Later on, we saw improvement in attention and executive functioning. The team we are working with at Abbey clinic is professional, friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Andrew Moses who conducts the Bi-weekly sessions. He is very nice and friendly. We would also like to thank Rachel and Paula who meet with us to discuss and explain the reports, results and future plans.

Rachael Little2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel that my experience with Abby has been excellent. The price is very very high and insurance usually does not cover it but it is definitely worth it if you have a lot of money to spare. I feel almost like a completely different person now, more focused, less anxious, and more relaxed. H S2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to hear about Abbey Clinic from our neighbor. I had no idea how to find a therapist. Both my kids are pretty regular learners and didn't really need much support outside of school, but when my teenager's life went completely sideways junior year from a brain injury, the biggest help were the sessions with Rachael Little. The sessions taught him coping skills and methods to approach life. He is doing so well in college and still uses the things he learned with Rachael. Thank you! Greta Kim2022-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All 5 members of my family have been served by Abbey Clinic - it's that good. We started with one kid as a test, and then continued on through the whole family because the experience with the first was so great. The report and insights given from the testing of my 3 kids has been hugely beneficial to their school and social lives. My daughter did brain training to help with her ADHD. We saw noticeable improvement. The same teenage daughter has made wonderful progress with her anxiety by meeting with Dr. Stephanie Abbey for psychotherapy. Personally, I met with Rachael for psychotherapy to help with my Autism. It was the kind of thing where I knew I needed to do it, and my wife encouraged me, but I wasn't very excited and definitely a little nervous about embarking into psychotherapy. Now looking back, I am THRILLED with the outcome. Rachael equipped me with frameworks and tools to make my life (and those around me) SOO much better. Our family is incredibly grateful for our interactions with Abbey Clinic. Strongly recommend! Stefan Lusvardi2022-05-26
