Therapy to support brain injury and other neuropsychological issues

When individuals sustain an injury to the brain, experience changes in brain function with unclear cause, or for those with known neurological conditions, a neuropsychological evaluation can clarify the nature and extent of effects on the individual’s cognition (i.e., memory, attention, executive functioning, etc.)

Support for Brain Function Issues

Dr. Amanda Hahn-Ketter at Union Square Practice is a neuropsychologist specializing in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning for individuals across the lifespan with known or suspected brain dysfunction.

Determine the extent of cognitive impairment or decline secondary to a known diagnosis
Seek accommodations at school, work, and on standardized tests
