Data-Driven Diagnostics for Targeted Brain Care
Effective mental health treatment and neurological recovery begin with an accurate, objective understanding of how your brain is functioning. Traditional mental health approaches often rely strictly on self-reported questionnaires. At Psychogenix, led by Lawrence G. Lyons, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, we combine 25+ years of clinical psychology expertise with advanced neuro-diagnostic technology to measure brain activity directly.
Whether evaluating an injured worker for a compensation claim, diagnosing cognitive decline, or assessing executive function, our diagnostic testing eliminates the guesswork.
Book OnlineWhat Our Assessments Cover
Our diagnostic evaluations evaluate cognitive, emotional, and physiological functioning across several key areas:
- Quantitative EEG (QEEG) & Wavi Brain Mapping: Measures electrical wave frequencies across the scalp to reveal areas of hyper-arousal (anxiety, pain) or hypo-arousal (depression, brain fog).
- Cognitive & Executive Functioning: Tests short- and long-term memory, processing speed, attention span, problem-solving, and mental clarity.
- Disability Impairment Ratings & Medical-Legal Testing: Specialized evaluations for California Workers’ Compensation cases, closed head injuries, and pre-surgical psychological clearances.
- Physiological & Balance Evaluations: Assessment tools like Medi-Balance Pro and InBody to evaluate the physical and vestibular impacts of trauma.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a neuropsychological evaluation?
You will undergo a series of painless paper-and-pencil tasks, computer-based cognitive exercises, and passive brain mapping (QEEG). Dr. Lyons uses these results to create a detailed baseline report of your brain health.
Are testing sessions covered by Workers’ Compensation?
Yes. Dr. Lyons has extensive experience conducting neuro-cognitive evaluations and impairment ratings for California Workers’ Compensation cases.
