Neuropsychological Assessments for Individuals & Families in Redwood City, CA

Understand what’s beneath the surface.

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

When Something Doesn’t Quite Fit

Maybe a previous diagnosis never quite seemed right, or the support you’ve tried hasn’t addressed what you’re actually seeing.

For children and teens, this might mean ongoing school struggles, difficulty focusing, or working hard without seeing the expected progress.
For adults, it may mean questioning an old diagnosis or looking for answers around memory, attention, or everyday functioning.

Your instincts matter. A neuropsychological evaluation at our clinic near Redwood City can offer a clearer understanding of what’s going on and help you explore what comes next.

Our evaluations support children and adults with a variety 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.

OCD

OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is a debilitating mental health condition that can severely impact your day-to-day functioning and well-being. Get help from Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic in Palo Alto, California, and take back your life.

Headache & Migraine

If you struggle with severe tension headaches or migraines, our innovative therapies may be the answer. You can find individualized solutions with the help of a clinical neuropsychological assessment and treatment plan.

Sensory/Auditory Processing Disorder

Having sensory processing disorder means your brain has problems interpreting the information it receives from your senses, particularly sound and vision. Get a full neuropsychological evaluation and find out more about available therapies.

General Wellness

If you’d like to improve your overall health, train your body, optimize brain functioning, and restore your mental well-being, there’s no better place than Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic for innovative mind-body optimization.

Cognitive Decline

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.

A Diagnosis Is Just the Starting Point

A diagnosis can offer insight, but it doesn’t define what’s possible.

Your brain is always adapting. It can strengthen skills, build new connections, and develop different ways to approach challenges.

For children, we sometimes describe this as a “sticky and stretchy” brain: The brain can build on what’s working while developing new strategies when something isn’t.

Understanding how your brain works can help you see what’s possible and what may help.

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.

A Clearer Picture Can Lead to Better Support

At Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic in Palo Alto, we use assessment tools, including brain mapping, to understand how you or your child thinks, learns, and functions.
