NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING

​

At Lakes Center we know that mental well-being goes hand-in-hand with cognitive function. That's why we offer comprehensive neuropsychological testing to provide in-depth understanding of your or your loved-one’s strengths, weaknesses, and unique cognitive processing.  Whether you're concerned about learning differences, memory changes, or seeking clarity after a life event, our licensed therapists are here to guide you.

​

Our personalized assessments go beyond standardized tests, incorporating personal interviews, and tailored solutions to support your individual needs.  We can help you gain valuable insights to inform your therapy journey, empower treatment decisions, and unlock your full potential for thriving.
