About Neuropsychological Testing
Neuropsychological testing is a comprehensive, evidence-based way to understand how the brain is functioning and how that functioning affects daily life. NYC Psychiatric Associates, located in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, utilizes neuropsychological testing to clarify diagnoses and identify the underlying factors contributing to cognitive, emotional, or behavioral symptoms. This process provides patients and providers with objective data and meaningful insight, which ultimately helps to move care forward with greater confidence and precision.

Neuropsychological testing helps identify the factors driving symptoms such as attention difficulties, disorganization, memory concerns, mood changes, or social challenges. Rather than relying on observation alone, testing provides detailed information that supports accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment planning. Results often inform medication management, therapy goals, and practical strategies for daily functioning.
Neuropsychological testing may be helpful for adults who are experiencing cognitive, emotional, or behavioral concerns and are seeking greater clarity about their symptoms. We work with both existing patients and individuals who are new to our practice.
Cognitive and psychological testing is conducted through a secure telehealth platform. Patients begin with a clinical interview with a neuropsychologist to review symptoms, history, and goals. They then complete a live testing session with a trained technician, which includes questionnaires and standardized testing. Testing typically lasts two to three hours. After testing, patients meet again with the neuropsychologist to review results and recommendations.
Neuropsychological testing is often covered by insurance. NYC Psychiatric Associates accepts many major insurance plans, including most plans offered by Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage may vary depending on the purpose of testing. Insurance benefits are verified as part of our intake process.
Patients gain a clearer understanding of what factors are contributing to their symptoms, whether specific diagnoses are present, and which treatment strategies or accommodations may be most helpful for their individual needs. Ultimately, testing will benefit their medication management with the prescribers and patients will get real insight into how their brain works.
Neuropsychological testing enhances the care already provided at our practice by offering a deeper level of diagnostic clarity. It supports collaboration among prescribers, therapists, and patients so that treatment decisions are informed, targeted, and aligned with each patient’s unique profile. To put it simply, neuropsychological testing helps patients and providers move from uncertainty to understanding. It’s a collaborative, data-driven process that can enhance the other services that our practice offers.
Getting started is simple. If you’re an existing NYC Psychiatric Associates patient, you can speak with your provider about whether neuropsychological testing may be helpful. New patients can request an appointment by calling or texting our office. You can also email us at nycpa.appts@nycpassociates.com.
