Neuropsychological Evaluations
A neuropsychological evaluation looks closely at how your brain and mind are working in everyday life — measuring thinking skills, emotions, behavior, and personality to provide clarity, accurate diagnoses, and a path forward. Dr. Judy’s Los Angeles area practice serves adults, youth, families, and referring providers.
