OUR STORY

Southern California Neuropsychology Group (SCNPG) is the brainchild of Dr. Michelle Conover, an experienced clinical neuropsychologist who believes in the utility of comprehensive assessment in guiding the treatment of various disorders. Integrating the analysis of brain-behavior relationships into psychotherapy, SCNPG has since expanded to include other like-minded clinicians and psychometrists who are focused on providing the highest standards of ethical client care. 

SCNPG has served the community both young and old, dispensing a diverse set of outpatient services that center around cognitive, behavioral and emotional assessment. These services encompass the broad spectrum of human life, from achievement testing for school accommodations to neurocognitive assessment to determine the extent of acquired brain damage in forensic contexts.
