Dr. Randolph’s neuropsychological services reflect his diverse training in clinical neuropsychology, behavioral medicine, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and neuroimaging.  Primary services include:

 

 

 

Neuropsychological Evaluation

 

• Neuropsychological evaluation involves assessment of multiple cognitive abilities relevant for daily life.  These abilities include attention, verbal and visual memory, visuospatial skills, receptive and expressive language, cognitive processing speed, fine motor skills, intellectual functioning, and executive functions such as working memory, self-monitoring, and problem solving.  For evaluations focused on identifying possible learning disabilities, additional measures assessing academic achievement are used.  Emotional functioning is also assessed during neuropsychological assessment.

 

• Results from neuropsychological measures are compared to age-appropriate normative data to determine whether a given individual’s performance is within normal limits or problematic relative to age-peers. 

 

• Neuropsychological evaluations are conducted with adolescents and adults with known or suspected neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or epilepsy.  They can also be useful for diagnosis and assessment of developmental disorders such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or learning disability. 

 

• These evaluations can be helpful for diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring, rehabilitation, documentation of cognitive strengths and weakness, vocational rehabilitation, and longitudinal monitoring of disease symptoms.

 

Holistic Cognitive Rehabilitation

 

• Dr. Randolph’s evidence-based approach to cognitive rehabilitation focuses on various aspects of adjustment to brain injury, including education related to compensatory strategy use, stress and fatigue management techniques, and emotional and social adjustment to injury.  Examples of compensatory strategies include self-instructional training, methods to increase the likelihood of remembering new information, and training in external memory aid use.  

 

Psychotherapy

 

• Dr. Randolph is a cognitive-behavioral therapist, which is a therapeutic orientation that focuses on examining and modifying beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes that may play a role in emotional problems such as depression and anxiety.  Additional components of treatment include discussion of stress management techniques and learning to incorporate reinforcing/relaxing activities in daily life to improve mood.  Psychotherapy services are available for individuals with and without neurological conditions.
