Psychological Testing + fNIRS

A multi-dimensional approach to understanding you

Gold-standard psychological testing, paired with a live look at your brain at work. One evaluation, one integrated picture, one plan that actually fits you.

Your evaluation day

Five steps, one clear picture

Every evaluation follows the same deliberate sequence, so nothing about your day is a surprise.

1

Clinical interview

A collaborative conversation to understand your history, strengths, and concerns.

2

Standardized testing

Comprehensive, evidence-based assessments of cognitive, academic, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning.

3

Built-in 15-minute break

A short pause to rest, reset, and prepare for the next part of your evaluation.

4

30-minute fNIRS neurofeedback

An engaging brain-training experience that measures prefrontal cortex activity and gives real-time feedback to support self-regulation.

5

Integrated feedback

Test results, clinical observations, and neurofeedback insights come together in one clear, personalized picture and plan.

Why we include brain science

Testing tells us what. The brain shows us how.

The brain is at the center of how we think, learn, feel, and behave. Adding brain-based information helps us see patterns that may not be visible through testing alone, so your recommendations are built from more than scores on a page.

You wear the soft Mendi band while we watch your brain signal live. It runs quietly through your interview and your testing. There is no game and no training here. You simply wear it while we see how you focus and settle as you actually think. What we see becomes one more layer of context in your report, alongside your scores and history. Your diagnosis itself always comes from validated testing and clinical judgment.

What we integrate

  • Clinical history & observations
  • Cognitive, academic & neuropsychological testing
  • Emotional, behavioral & adaptive measures
  • fNIRS neurofeedback data & observations
  • Strengths, challenges & real-world functioning

The data behind your evaluation

What we watch while you train

During your 30-minute fNIRS session, two live data streams run on our tablets. This is what they look like, and what each one tells us about you.

fNIRS signal. The band reads blood flow in your prefrontal cortex, your focus center, with gentle near-infrared light. It only measures: nothing is sent into your brain, no electrodes, no gel. This trace tracks brain activity and engagement while you work through the testing. Your scores show what you can do. The live signal shows how your brain engages while you do it.

Head motion. The band also tracks movement and stillness, the restlessness or calm that comes with focus. Early restlessness that settles tells us something testing alone cannot: how you settle under real mental load. Frequent movement late in a session can flag fatigue, distractibility, or how much effort a task is really costing you.

No electrodes, no gel, no radiation. No training game during testing; the band simply observes while you work.

What this means for your clinical profile

These traces never diagnose anything on their own. Their value is in what they add: when your engagement pattern, regulation, and movement data line up with (or complicate) what your standardized testing shows, your clinician documents it, and it becomes one more layer of evidence in your report. Two people can produce identical test scores and very different traces, and that difference shapes recommendations that actually fit how your brain works.

On the horizon

EEG pairing is coming: date TBD

fNIRS shows us blood flow, where the brain is working. EEG (electroencephalography) reads the brain’s electrical rhythms, how fast it is working. We are preparing to pair the two, with a start date to be announced, so future evaluations can draw on both windows into the brain at once: one richer, more complete picture feeding your clinical profile.
