Boston Psychological & Neuropsychological Testing & Assessment Services
Psychological testing and assessment refers to the use of an array of measures designed to explore an individual's cognitive, personality, and emotional functioning. The general goal of psychological testing is to gather information about current emotional functioning, personality style, and areas of concern that may be targets for treatment.
Neuropsychological testing refers to the assessment of various cognitive abilities such as memory, language, attention, problem solving and more to determine how one's brain is functioning. The goals of neuropsychological testing are to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, diagnose the cause of any cognitive weaknesses and develop appropriate treatment recommendations.

Our Boston psychological testing and assessment center offers a comprehensive process that includes evaluation of personality and emotional themes in an individual’s life. At CPA, psychological testing and assessment is frequently implemented as a "first step" in the therapeutic process and can highlight areas of concern or interest that may warrant further conversation. Additionally, psychological testing can be helpful during later stages of treatment, particularly if new goals or strategies are needed.
Psychological testing can provide important information about an individual's:
- Personality structure
- Relationship styles
- Life themes
- Cognitive or belief frameworks (or schema)
- Treatment needs
- Response to treatment
Following the evaluation, your therapist will meet with you to discuss the findings and, together, you and your clinician will discuss how some of the results can be incorporated into your therapeutic work together. Clients often find that participating in a brief evaluation process can deepen the therapeutic experience and accelerate the treatment process.
