Insight That Makes a Difference
Your First Step Toward Clarity with a Neuropsychological Evaluation
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of how the brain functions and how it impacts thinking, learning, memory, and behavior. These evaluations provide critical insights that help identify strengths, clarify difficulties, and guide treatment or support strategies.
Whether recommended by a physician or sought out due to personal concerns, a neuropsychological evaluation can bring understanding and peace of mind.

Evaluations Tailored to You
What Makes Dr. Ghilain Different?
Dr. Ghilain is committed to truly personalized, high-quality care. She believes clients are far more than a set of test scores, integrating information from interviews with family, observations she makes during the testing sessions, and conversations with other members of the client's care team. Though she has trained psychometrists (individuals who work under a doctor's license to administer psychological tests) and published the first book of its kind outlining minimum standards for psychometrist training in 2021, she chooses to personally administer each assessment to ensure every evaluation reflects the client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
Her dedication extends beyond the testing session—she remains available for ongoing consultation, helping clients, families, and professionals put recommendations into practice for lasting success.
