Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessments for Los Altos, CA, Individuals & Families

Understand what’s really going on.

Telehealth appointments are available in California, Texas, and Florida.

When the Answers Don’t Quite Add Up

Sometimes, the challenges you’re seeing don’t match the explanation you’ve been given.

Maybe the diagnosis doesn’t fully explain what you’re seeing, or the support you’ve tried hasn’t made the difference you hoped for.

For children and teens, this might look like persistent school struggles or working hard without making the progress you’d expect.
For adults, it may mean reconsidering a diagnosis from years ago or finally seeking answers for ongoing challenges with memory, organization, or everyday functioning.

A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment can provide a clearer picture of what’s happening beneath the surface and what may be contributing to those challenges.

Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, located near Los Altos, evaluates children and adults with a range of cognitive, developmental, behavioral, and emotional concerns.

ADHD/ADD

ADHD/ADD can bring a variety of challenges, including struggling to concentrate or pay attention, having trouble with time management, struggling to stay on task, or making careless mistakes. Neuropsychological testing for ADHD can help.

Learning Disabilities

School can be a struggle for any child, but a learning disability doesn’t need to be an additional roadblock to success. Get neuropsychological testing for kids for individualized learning solutions.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism affects about one in every 59 children, but it doesn’t look the same for every child. Neurological testing for autism provides comprehensive insight into your child’s strengths and weaknesses for optimal support.

Concussion & TBI

Falls and car accidents are frequent causes of concussions, but did you know you’re 3–6 times more likely to sustain a second traumatic brain injury if your concussion happens while playing sports? Neuropsychological testing supports effective concussion rehabilitation.

Anxiety & Nervousness

Anxiety can appear at any age. If you or someone you love has feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear that interfere with concentration, sleep, or the ability to socialize, it’s time for an in-depth evaluation.

Depression

Whether or not you’ve tried traditional treatments, you can recover from depression with a clinical neuropsychological assessment and innovative therapies that target the psychological, biological, and social causes of depression.

Age-related cognitive decline takes many forms—from short-term memory loss and finding it hard to communicate ideas to feeling more clumsy and falling more often. Slow down or minimize these changes with the right tools and treatment.

Memory

Partial, temporary, or degenerative memory loss can be a distressing and bewildering experience. The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic in Palo Alto, California, offers support with advanced therapy techniques.

There’s More to Your Story Than a Diagnosis

A diagnosis can offer clarity, but it’s only a part of the picture. It doesn’t define one’s future.

We look at the whole person to understand how the brain is working and what can help.

Because a diagnosis doesn’t define what’s possible. There is a way to live life with greater clarity, capability, and confidence.

Neurofeedback at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic has been life-changing for my family. I have been shocked and delighted by the amazing progress my 6-year-old son has made. My son had a mix of autistic, obsessive compulsive, defiant, hyperactive, and inattentive symptoms that have melted away after neurofeedback.

Dr. Abbey Designed a neurofeedback visual training for my son who has overall delays. Devin made exceptional progress as a 27-year-old young adult. In comparison to therapy he has had for years, there were significant changes in social skills, verbal skills, attention and coordination.

I am a private psychologist who has referred many clients to Dr. Abbey’s clinic for both assessment and treatment. Dr. Abbey and his staff members have all been extremely helpful, and both my clients and their families have reported effective treatment and positive experiences.

Dr. Abbey and his colleagues are extremely passionate about their work and truly care about providing the highest-quality services to their clients. He is very knowledgeable and dedicated to providing comprehensive assessment services to children to enrich their lives.

Dr. Abbey saved our family. This might sound like hyperbole, but it is true. At 5 years, my son was almost non-verbal, diagnosed by Stanford as being on the autistic spectrum, and rated 9/10 on the ADHD scale. Almost a year of neurofeedback sessions later … he is doing so much better than I could have hoped.
