The Neuropsychological & Psychological Services department provides comprehensive outpatient evaluations to patients in the Chicagoland area. The office is conveniently located in Romeoville, IL and services patients from all the surrounding suburbs. There are currently five adult neuropsychologists, two testing psychologists, one pediatric psychologist, and one post doctoral fellow.

Referrals for neuropsychological evaluations are primarily received from neurology, primary care, and behavioral health (including psychiatrists, psychiatric providers, therapists, and health psychologists). Depending on fellow interests, rotations in the health psychology clinic conducting pre‑surgical bariatric and spinal cord stimulator evaluations may be available.

Neuropsychologists frequently consult with referral sources to clarify referral questions, ensure good continuity of care, and provide psycho‑education about neurocognitive, psychiatric, and behavioral disorders.

Core competencies include Ethical and Legal Standards, Professional Values and Attitudes, Communication and Interpersonal Skills, Individual and Cultural Diversity, Assessment, Intervention, Consultation, Clinical Supervision/Teaching, and Research/Program Evaluation. Training emphasis is placed on timely and efficient neuropsychological assessment. The fellow will spend 50‑75% of their time gaining clinical experiences; the remaining time will be dedicated to didactics, research, and elective educational opportunities tailored to the individual’s needs.

The fellow will observe, interview, and study patients presenting with focal and diffuse brain disease, neurodegenerative conditions, neurodevelopmental injury and abnormality, and psychiatric conditions. They will learn neurological examination, neuroimaging, neurodiagnostic techniques, and integrate findings into comprehensive case formulations and treatment plans.
