Adults may consider a neuropsychological evaluation at many points in life, often when changes in thinking, memory, attention, or daily functioning begin to raise questions. A comprehensive evaluation provides objective insight into brain functioning and helps clarify how cognitive, emotional, and neurological factors interact in everyday life.
Dr. Jennifer Linton Reesman is a board-certified Clinical Neuropsychologist with extensive experience evaluating adults across a wide range of clinical presentations. Her approach is grounded in careful assessment, clear communication, and collaborative planning, helping individuals understand their cognitive strengths and challenges and make informed decisions.
Adults typically seek evaluation when they notice changes in cognitive efficiency, daily functioning, or need clarity around a diagnosis. Common reasons for referral include:
Changes in memory, attention, or processing speed
Executive functioning challenges affecting work, home, or daily life
Clarification of long-standing attention or learning concerns
Cognitive effects of neurological conditions, illness, or injury
Monitoring cognitive functioning over time
Understanding strengths and limitations to guide planning, accommodations, or lifestyle adjustments
Some individuals come with a specific question, while others are looking for answers after symptoms have been difficult to explain or manage through prior care. In all cases, evaluations are designed to provide clear, actionable information that supports both personal understanding and practical planning for work, daily routines, and long-term goals.
The goal of evaluation is to provide clear, evidence-based insight into cognitive functioning and how it affects everyday life.
Dr. Reesman combines a thorough clinical interview, standardized testing, and review of relevant medical or educational records to ensure that findings are accurate and meaningful. When appropriate, she works closely with referring physicians, therapists, attorneys, or other professionals to support coordinated, comprehensive care.
