Neuropsychology
We’re dedicated to understanding how your brain functioning is affecting your body and vice versa. Mercyhealth’s neuropsychologist applies assessment and intervention principles to normal and abnormal functioning of the central nervous.
Your clinical neuropsychologist will use psychological, neurological or physiological methods to evaluate your cognitive and emotional strengths and weaknesses and translate these findings to normal and abnormal central nervous system functioning.
Our neuropsychology professionals diagnose a variety of conditions, including dementia, seizure and vascular disorders, traumatic brain injuries, learning disabilities, and more.
