Mission and Core Values

Dr. Clark’s mission is to provide quality assessment services to ensure patients get the appropriate diagnoses and are connected with effective treatments and resources. At Central Texas Neuropsychology, LLC, we provide a space where patients and their families feel heard, understood, and validated.

Neurodiversity-affirming

Neurodivergence by itself is not a flaw or something to be “fixed”. Each person has their own strengths, needs, and challenges. By illuminating your unique abilities and experiences you can achieve a better understanding of yourself.

Collaborative

While neuropsychologists have the knowledge and expertise, we see patients as the experts on themselves. Our role is to guide them through the process of self-discovery and provide a space where they and their families feel listened to.

Personalized

More than testing brain function, we examine each person as a whole — how their history, environment, values, and social and cultural background impact their lives  —  to arrive at a diagnosis and help guide their treatment.

From Dr. Clark

I chose to specialize in neuropsychology because of my fascination with the intricacies of the brain. I'm passionate about investigating the origins of patients' challenges and finding the best ways to help them, much like solving a puzzle. It brings me great joy to help patients gain a better understanding of themselves."

I’m distracted by books and dogs. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me curled up with my dog, a book, and my two children."
