About Us
Our Practice
We are unique in that we are led by neuropsychologists with a combined experience of 60+ years who understand how essential a brain based approach to treatment planning is.
We move the ball down the field more efficiently by knowing brains and ensuring that goals are established and met based on this knowledge.
This is not a guessing game. We have developed targeted measures to road map your brain and match your treatment to the most appropriate interventions.
