How to choose a neuropsychologist
- Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
- Make sure neuropsychological evaluation is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
- Ask whether your insurance needs a referral or prior authorization for testing.
- Ask how long it takes to receive the written report and whether a feedback session is included.
- Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
- Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
- After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

What is a neuropsychological evaluation?
A set of standardized tests of memory, attention, language, problem-solving and other thinking skills, together with interviews and a written report. It is often requested after a brain injury or stroke, when memory problems are a concern, or for complex learning and attention questions. It usually takes several hours and may be split over more than one visit.
Can I see a neuropsychologist online?
Often, yes. Licensing generally follows where you are during the session, so the provider needs to be licensed or authorized there. In the US, psychologists in PSYPACT member states can offer telepsychology to clients in other member states; counselors and social workers have their own rules. In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.
What if I need help right now?
