A neuropsychological assessment helps determine how brain-related conditions may be affecting an individual’s daily life. These evaluations are often recommended for concerns related to brain injury, stroke, neurological conditions, memory difficulties, attention problems, or changes in mood and behaviour.

Understanding how the brain impacts thinking, memory, mood, and behaviour is essential to accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Dr. Virginia Newton offers comprehensive neuropsychological assessments designed to evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioural functioning through clinical interviews and standardized testing.

If you or a loved one would benefit from a comprehensive evaluation, feel free to contact our office to learn more about our services.

A PTSD assessment is designed to determine whether a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is appropriate and to support effective treatment planning. This type of assessment can be especially helpful for adults who may have experienced traumatic events and are seeking clarity, support, or next steps in their care.

The assessment process may vary in length and includes:
• A comprehensive review of the client’s background
• Completion of standardized questionnaires
• A structured clinical interview
• A detailed written report outlining diagnostic findings (if applicable) and treatment recommendations

Our goal is to provide a thoughtful, thorough assessment that helps guide appropriate services and supports each client’s path toward healing.

If you’d like more information or have questions about PTSD assessments, feel free to reach out.

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a gentle, body–brain focused therapy that helps individuals process emotional pain, trauma, and stuck patterns by accessing the areas of the brain where these experiences are stored.

Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting is grounded in the idea that where you look affects how you feel.

By using eye position, Brainspotting can access deeper parts of the brain where overwhelming or unprocessed experiences are held—particularly the areas responsible for emotion, memory, and survival responses.

This approach supports healing at a natural pace, allowing the brain and body to do the work they are designed to do.

If you are interested in learning more about these services, please feel free to reach out to our office.

Does your child think deeply, ask complex questions, or show advanced abilities beyond their grade level?

Giftedness refers to cognitive abilities, often measured through IQ testing, that are significantly above average when compared to same-age peers. A giftedness assessment can provide valuable insight into your child’s unique strengths, learning style, and areas where additional support may be beneficial.

Our comprehensive assessment process includes a thorough review of background information, standardized cognitive testing, a clinical interview, and a detailed written report that clearly explains the results. When appropriate, practical recommendations are provided to support academic planning, enrichment opportunities, and social-emotional development at home and at school.

Some signs you may notice are: advanced reasoning and judgement, strong critical thinking skills, intense curiosity, advanced vocabulary, exceptional creativity, and the ability to maintain focus for extended periods of time.

Children must be in Grade 4 or higher to be eligible for a giftedness assessment.

If you are curious about whether a giftedness assessment is right for your child, you can reach out to us via phone or email to learn more.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a comprehensive therapy model that has been proven to be highly effective for individuals who have experienced trauma. It is an evidence-based practice and is recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of PTSD.

When trauma occurs, the brain can process and store memories differently. Sometimes these memories are stored improperly, causing them to feel very present. Everyday triggers, whether related or unrelated, can cause the brain and body to react as though the trauma is happening all over again. This repeated experience can be exhausting and deeply distressing.

EMDR is based on the understanding that emotional well-being is closely connected to the body (somatic experience). During EMDR, a therapist uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or tapping—to help the brain reprocess trauma memories. This allows the memory to move into a more functional part of the brain, reducing its emotional intensity.

If you’re curious about EMDR or wondering if it might be helpful for you, feel free to reach out or learn more.
