Providing neuropsychological evaluations in
Des Moines, Iowa & surrounding areas.
Clear answers. Thoughtful care.
Two Rivers Neuropsychology provides comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation and cognitive testing for adolescents and adults in the Des Moines area, including Johnston, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Clive, Waukee, Ankeny, Iowa, and the surrounding areas. Evaluations are designed to clarify questions about attention, memory, executive functioning, and other aspects of cognitive health.
We provide careful, individualized assessment to help patients and referring providers understand cognitive
and functional concerns - and make informed next steps.
Why Neuropsychological Evaluation?
Neuropsychological evaluation is most useful when questions are complex. Many of the individuals we see have overlapping medical, neurological, developmental, and psychiatric factors that make symptoms difficult to interpret.
Our work integrates test data, medical history, developmental background, and real-world functioning to reach conclusions that are clinically meaningful and practically useful.

We understand that test results do not stand alone.
Assessments are tailored to the individual and referral question, not a fixed battery.
Results are interpreted in the context of medical history, developmental factors, and current symptoms, highlighting both strengths and limitations.
Recommendations are specific, realistic, and actionable—supporting diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, or daily functioning.
