Dr. Lisa Townsend PsyD

Neuropsychology is a subspecialty of psychology. The emphasis is assessment of verbal/visual memory, attention, processing speed, executive function, language, and constructional praxis. These come from CERAD [Consortium to Establish an Alzheimer's Registry], and/or Halstead Reitan, and NCAA concussion protocols. The purpose of neuropsychological assessments is to help with diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders/diseases related to the following: Dementia ADHD Concussion/TBI MS Parkinson's Disease Essential Tremor DBS [Deep Brain Stimulation evaluations] Spinal Cord Stimulator for pain Stroke Tumor/cancer Epilepsy After receiving my doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis on neuropsychology in 2016, I completed post-doctorate fellowship in both psychology and neuropsychology. My dissertation was comparing neuropsychological test batteries within the Parkinson's Disease population and today I am honored to continue to work with neurology and neurosurgery teams in Colorado. In addition to private practice, I proudly serve our local communities in the hospital settings. I enjoy reading research and learning about neuroscience. Outside of my professional career, I enjoy being with my family, hiking, running, and mountain biking.
