Evaluations and Assessments

How Can You Get Support?

We provide evaluations for memory and cognitive concerns, thinking changes after injury or illness, and related conditions, as well as attention, autism, and learning, for adults, teens, and children ages 6 and up. 

Memory & Cognitive Concerns

Understand changes in memory, attention, and thinking, whether you are noticing everyday forgetfulness, questions about aging and memory, or early signs of cognitive decline. A clear picture of your cognitive strengths and concerns can help you and your providers plan meaningful next steps.

Cognitive Changes After Injury or Illness

Assess how a brain injury, stroke, or medical condition has affected your thinking. These evaluations clarify what has changed and what has stayed strong, providing a roadmap for recovery, accommodations, and tracking progress over time.

ADHD and Autism Evaluations

For adults and children, including adults who suspect they were missed or misunderstood earlier in life. Using a neurodiversity-affirming approach, we clarify how your mind works and identify the strengths and supports that help you thrive.

Owner & Neuropsychologist

Joy Clark, Ph.D., ABPP

Dr. Joy Clark is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist in Belton, Texas, specializing in evaluations of memory, attention, and thinking across the lifespan. She works with adults and older adults navigating cognitive changes, as well as teens and children, and brings particular depth to questions of memory and cognitive change, ADHD, and autism.
​
Her approach is collaborative and affirming. She sees each person as the expert in their own experience, and her role as guiding them through the process of understanding themselves. Drawing on evidence-based methods and a whole-person perspective, she helps patients and families turn a thorough evaluation into clear, practical next steps.

Core Values

Neurodiversity-affirming

Differences in how a brain works, whether lifeong or emerging over time, are not simply flaws to be fixed. Each person has their own strengths, needs, and challenges. By illuminating your unique abilities and experiences, you can reach a fuller understanding of yourself.

Collaborative

While neuropsychologists bring knowledge and expertise, we see you as the expert on yourself. Our role is to guide you and your family through the process of understanding, and to provide a space where you feel heard.

Personalized

More than testing brain function, we consider each person as a whole: how your history, health, environment, values, and background shape your life. That fuller picture leads to a clearer undertstanding and more useful, practical guidance.

How Testing Can Help With Your Recovery?

Are you uncertain about how neuropsychological evaluations can support your recovery or help alleviate symptoms? Find out how seeking an assessment from an experienced neuropsychologist can be fundamental to overcoming your challenges.

Clarify what's going on

Some conditions are complicated to sort out, and symptoms can overlap. A thorough evaluation examines your thinking, memory, and behavior in depth, so you get an accurate picture rather than a guess. Clear answers are the starting point for everything that comes next.

Understand change over time

Evaluations are especially useful for tracking how thinking and memory change, whether you are recovering from an injury, managing a health condition, or watching for shifts with age. Comparing results over time shows what is improving, what is stable, and what needs attention.​

Know your next steps

It can be hard to know what to do after a diagnosis, or even where to begin. Your evaluation ends with clear, practical recommendations tailored to you, giving you and your providers a roadmap for decisions about support, accommodations, and care.

How to Get Started

Schedule your first appointment

Book online and choose what fits: an in-person visit at our Belton office or a secure telehealth appointment from home. Most evaluations begin with an interview. 

Meet us for your evaluation

Your evaluation starts with an interview about your history and concerns, often by video. From there, testing is tailored to your needs and scheduled for a later visit, keeping you fresh and the testing focused. Some focused adult evaluations can be completed in a single same-day visit. We will let you know which format fits.

Review your results

After testing, Dr. Clark prepares a report with findings and clear recommendations, then meets with you to review what it means and answer your questions. You receive a copy of your report to keep and share.
