Beyond a Diagnosis—A Path to Understanding + Growth

Understanding the Whole You

Comprehensive Neuropsychological and Psychoeducational Evalautions

At Hope+Wellness, we specialize in providing comprehensive, high-quality neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments for children, teens, and adults.

Our approach goes beyond simply confirming a diagnosis—we conduct a thorough, multi-faceted evaluation to assess your unique strengths and challenges. Through this process, we rule in and rule out all possible contributing factors, ensuring a full understanding of the underlying issues.

This means that when we evaluate for a condition—such as ADHD, a learning disability, or memory concerns—we don’t just test for that condition in isolation. Instead, we conduct a holistic analysis of your cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioral functioning to ensure we consider all potential explanations. This allows us to provide an accurate assessment and tailored recommendations that best support your needs.

Our evaluations integrate…

  • Cognitive and intellectual testing (memory, attention, executive functioning)

  • Academic and learning assessments (reading, writing, math skills)

  • Emotional and psychological functioning (anxiety, depression, trauma)

  • Behavioral observations and history (attention, impulse control, social skills)

  • Medical and neurological considerations (brain injuries, sleep disorders, chronic illnesses)

By taking this comprehensive, whole-person approach, we ensure that our assessments go beyond labels and diagnoses—offering meaningful insights that guide effective interventions and support for you.
