Comprehensive Psychological Testing
Understand How Your Brain Works — Not Just Your Symptoms
Interna is now offering Comprehensive Psychological Testing for both insurance and private pay for adults and children ages 10 and older.
Think of it as a deep dive into how your brain works, not just a list of symptoms. This multi- session process provides us with an in-depth understanding of symptoms, individual strengths and challenges, and support strategies that actually fit you.
We won't be just running through checklists, we want to hear your story, notice the patterns, and piece things together in a way that makes sense in your real, everyday life, and talk about what makes you uniquely you!
You’ll also get a feedback session where we go over your results in plain language (no confusing therapy speak), answer your questions, and talk through personalized recommendations and resources.
What We Assess
What We Assess
Full Neuropsychological Evaluation
A full neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning designed to better understand how your brain processes information.
more info
Depending on your concerns, testing may explore areas such as attention, memory, learning, language, executive functioning, processing speed, and emotional functioning. Evaluations can help identify conditions such as learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, brain injuries, memory concerns, and other cognitive differences while providing individualized recommendations for treatment, accommodations, and support.
After your evaluation is complete, you'll meet with your assessor for a feedback session to make sense of the results, answer your questions, and discuss personalized recommendations and next steps.
A full neuropsychological evaluation is typically completed over 3 to 4 sessions spread across multiple days. Together, you and your assessor will determine a schedule that works best for both of you.

Reading & Writing (dyslexia/dysgraphia)
Recognizing reading and writing challenges early can significantly impact your child’s educational journey and self-confidence. At Minnesota Neuropsychology, our comprehensive evaluations examine the whole child—considering cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social factors. Our assessment process identifies neurodevelopmental conditions like dyslexia (affecting reading), dysgraphia (affecting writing), and other possible causes contributing to your child’s challenges.
Clues You or Your Child May Need Extra Support with Reading or Writing
Letter-Sound Associations: Difficulty connecting sounds with written letters.
Sounding Out Words: Struggles with putting sounds together to make words.
Reading Speed: Slow, labored reading that disrupts comprehension.
Skipping or Guessing Words: Tendency to skip small connector words or guess at words based on the first letter when reading aloud.
Comprehension: Difficulty remembering previously read material, or misreading written instructions
Spelling Consistency: Persistent errors despite practice, with inconsistent spelling of the same word.
Handwriting Quality: Messy writing or difficulty with writing tools, inconsistent use of punctuation, inconsistent letter-word spacing.
Letter/Word Spacing: Difficulty consistently writing letters or words with appropriate spacing.
Written Organization: Trouble expressing thoughts coherently or structuring ideas logically on paper.
Emotional Response: Frustration, avoidance, or anxiety during reading or writing tasks.
Math Skills (dyscalculia)
Recognizing math challenges early can significantly help your child’s educational journey and self-confidence. At Minnesota Neuropsychology, our comprehensive evaluations examine the whole child—considering cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral patterns. Our assessment process identifies neurodevelopmental conditions like dyscalculia (affecting number sense), ADHD (impacting focus and working memory), executive functioning deficits (affecting organization and problem-solving), and other possible factors contributing to your child’s mathematical challenges.
Signs Your Child May Need Extra Support with Math
Number Recognition: Difficulty identifying or sequencing numbers, affecting basic calculations.
Mathematical Concepts: Struggles to understand foundational concepts like place value, fractions, or measurement.
Calculation Accuracy: Makes persistent computational errors despite practice and instruction.
Problem-Solving: Challenges with translating word problems into mathematical operations.
Visual-Spatial Processing: Difficulty with number alignment, geometric concepts, or interpreting graphs.
Working Memory: Trouble remembering mathematical procedures or formulas during problem-solving.
Attention to Detail: Inconsistent attention to operation signs, decimal points, or mathematical notation.
Emotional Response: When faced with math-related tasks, anxiety, frustration, or avoidance behaviors.
IQ Testing
An IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test is a standardized clinical assessment designed to measure a person's cognitive capabilities—such as logical reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and spatial awareness—compared to the average population.

Executive Functioning
An executive function test measures the brain’s ability to manage thoughts, emotions, and actions. Often used to identify conditions like ADHD or autism, these evaluations assess cognitive flexibility, working memory, inhibitory control, and planning. They typically fall into two categories: standardized clinical tools and self-assessment questionnaires

How We Assess
Virtual Sessions
All insurance-based testing is done virtually over several sessions with Josh Montrenes, PHD LP (they/them).
In-Person Testing
In-person testing is offered for both ADHD and ASD at Interna as private pay (not covered by insurance). This is done by Master’s level Clinicians.
Breakdown of the Assessment Process
-
Before Testing
Prior to testing, you will receive questionnaires and forms for you (or your child) to complete.
These help your assessor gather important background information and must be completed before the evaluation can begin.
You will provide insurance and credit card information which will be reviewed for eligibility beforehand.
-
Clinical Interview
Your assessor will meet with you virtually (or in-person for ASD/ADHD out of pocket assessments) for a comprehensive interview, which typically lasts 2 to 3 hours. During this appointment, you'll discuss your history, current concerns, strengths, and symptoms to help determine which areas need to be evaluated.
-
Testing Day
Your assessor will meet with you virtually to complete a series of standardized tests and activities. These may assess areas such as attention, memory, learning, problem-solving, processing speed, language, executive functioning, and other cognitive skills, depending on your referral concerns. Testing is individualized, so no two evaluations look exactly the same.
-
Feedback Session
(This is out-of-pocket and must be paid in full prior to this session)
Once your assessment is complete and your report has been finalized, you'll meet with your assessor for a feedback session. Together, you'll make sense of the results, explore what they mean for your day-to-day life, and answer any questions you have. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of how your brain works, along with individualized recommendations, resources, and practical next steps to help you or your child thrive.
