Our Services

The Stixrud Group is a team of dedicated professionals, offering a variety of psychological and educational services for individuals and families. The group was founded by Dr. William R. Stixrud more than 25 years ago, and is now owned by Drs. Susan Hammond and Salya Namazi, both of whom have been with the group for over ten years. Our group is committed to alleviating the suffering of our clients, and to helping our clients understand themselves, overcome challenges, and maximize their potential. Our mission is to help our clients advance academically, professionally and socially, and to remove any obstacles to their attaining happiness and fulfillment in life.

Evaluations

The Stixrud Group, LLC offers neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. Our comprehensive neuropsychological assessments are designed to clarify an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning.

Adult Neuropsychology

The Stixrud Group serves adults of all ages. We routinely evaluate adults with complex diagnostic issues that may date to childhood (developmental) or that may be new.

Educational Consulting Group

Our mission is to partner with families to develop safe, supportive environments at home and at school that optimize their students’ educational experiences and improve the well-being of the whole family.

Lectures and Workshops

Past and upcoming lectures and workshops offered by the Stixrud Group and its affiliates.

Follow-up Services

We provide our clients with comprehensive neuropsychological reports, but families may wish to attend follow up meetings to clarify plans and goals for intervention. We have found that children and teens are more likely to “buy into” intervention plans if they are included in the planning and decision making.

ADHD-Only

This type of evaluation is primarily for clients who are beyond college/graduate programs and who are not seeking academic accommodations. These are thorough and targeted assessments focused on accurate and valid diagnosis of ADHD. Regardless of diagnosis, tailored recommendations for improving cognitive performance and productivity are also made, based on specific evaluation findings. This option entails an interview and cognitive testing completed all in the same day, with feedback provided within approximately one week.

Dementia and Brain Health

This type of evaluation is for clients who are approximately 60 years of age or older, with a focus on dementia risk and diagnostic clarity. Results may be used as a baseline assessment for cognitive monitoring or for differential diagnosis of dementia. These evaluations include a comprehensive initial assessment, regular monitoring of cognitive performance over the following year, and a reduced-cost repeat evaluation to thoroughly assess change over time. Work hand-in-hand with Dr. Brand for research-based recommendations geared at improving brain health, enhancing thinking skills, and reducing dementia risk.

Our goal is to use our professional knowledge and skills to help people be more successful in school, in their careers, in their relationships, and to remove any blocks to experiencing happiness and fulfillment in life.
