Psychological and/or neuropsychological evaluations can help define the diagnoses of learning and brain problems precisely in terms of cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
We provide neuropsychological testing for children and adults and we have helped thousands of individuals with learning disorders, ADHD, and other neurocognitive conditions obtain accommodations in school such as extended time on school work and standardized exams (e.g., SAT, MCAT, LSAT, etc.), with over a 95% success rate.
Neuropsychological Evaluations are conducted during the week and Saturdays, with flexible hours, and have an extremely short turnaround time,. with reports completed within 10 days after the testing is completed (pending all required records and documentation has been received) whereas most other clinics often take over 3 weeks or several months.

Neurofeedback and Neurotherapy
A new treatment has been emerging in the last several decades for Attention Deficit Disorder and other mild brain-behavior problems —biofeedback of your brain waves. This is Neurofeedback, and the latest term is Neurotherapy. This method of treatment has been shown to be effective for a wide range of disorders besides Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); it can help PMS, alcohol abuse, depression, mild brain dysfunction from a variety of causes (some examples are cognitive problems from cardiac bypass surgery, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease) and closed head injury. Patients learn how to self regulate their own brain states by watching feedback on the computer (including your favorite movie).
Treatment for Chronic Pain with Biofeedback in New York at the Brain Clinic
The most common treatment for chronic pain is drug therapy. The problem with this is that many of the medications can be addictive. And the addiction can sneak up on you. Before you know it, you might be craving to have this medicine. This has contributed to many problems in the country, one of which is the over-dose deaths from Oxycontin. In my office I use biofeedback and neurofeedback to treat pain conditions, and it has been effective.
