Clinical Neuropsychology

Clinical neuropsychology is a recognized specialty of clinical psychology that involves the science and practice of brain-behavior relationships across the lifespan.

The University of Houston (UH) has a proud and storied history of specialty training in clinical neuropsychology that dates back to the 1970s. In its present form, the clinical psychology Ph.D. program at UH offers a clinical neuropsychology training experience that follows the guidelines of the Houston Conference on Specialty Education and Education and Training in Clinical Neuropsychology and meets the American Psychological Association’s definition of a “major area of study."

Our mission is to train the next generation of academic clinical neuropsychologists who will embrace diversity in multidisciplinary research and clinical teams to advance our understanding of brain-behavior relationships and enhance the quality of life of individuals and families affected by disorders of the central nervous system.

The Neuropsychology Program, a part of the Neurocognitive Disorders Center at UTHealth, was established in 2012. The dynamic program faculty are dedicated to providing exceptional, patient-centered clinical services, contributing to UTHealth’s academic mission by providing formal training at the graduate and postdoctoral levels, and engaging in research that advances neuropsychological science. The program faculty specialize in the neuropsychological evaluation of a broad range of acquired central nervous system disorders that affect cognitive and psychological/behavioral functioning in adults, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, cerebrovascular disease, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. We are also often consulted to assist with diagnosis, address concerns of capacity such as return to work, and recommendations to enhance patient care and quality of life. Pre- and post-surgical evaluation for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is also a significant component of the program’s services. Additional clinical services include cognitive rehabilitation/training and psychotherapy offered through the Neuropsychology Division’s Brain and Behavioral Health Clinic (BBHC).

What is Clinical Neuropsychology?

According to the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN), “clinical neuropsychology is a specialty field within clinical psychology, dedicated to understanding the relationships between brain and behavior, particularly as these relationships can be applied to the diagnosis of brain disorder, assessment of cognitive and behavioral functioning, and the design of effective treatment.”

What is the Role of a Clinical Neuropsychologist?

The role of the clinical neuropsychologist is to apply their advanced knowledge of brain-behavior relationships to the assessment of an individual’s cognitive abilities. We administer tasks that assess for changes in brain functions, such as memory, attention, language, and problem solving. Neuropsychological evaluations are typically requested by physicians and other healthcare providers to identify changes in brain function and to assist in determining a cause of cognitive symptoms.

Some of the conditions evaluated include:

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Frontotemporal dementias/other dementias
  • Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, including deep brain stimulation (DBS)
  • Epilepsy/seizure disorders
  • Head injuries/sports concussion
  • Brain tumors
  • Brain infections (encephalitis, meningitis, etc)
  • Sleep apnea and other sleep disorders
  • Exposure to pesticides and other toxic chemicals
  • Heart attacks and cerebrovascular disease
  • Autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis
  • Capacity/competency issues
  • Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

What to Expect During a Neuropsychological Evaluation?

At some point during the evaluation, you and a family member will be interviewed to obtain a thorough understanding of what your symptoms are, when they first began, and how they have progressed. The tests you will be given examine how certain systems in your brain are functioning. You will be given a wide variety of tests that examine these functions. Some of the tests will be quite easy for you and others will be quite difficult. The length of testing will vary depending on several factors, but may take much of the day, with breaks as needed. After the evaluation is complete, your healthcare provider will receive a report of the findings. It is also suggested that you schedule an appointment with the neuropsychologist to discuss the results and recommendations.

The Brain and Behavioral Health Clinic

The outpatient Brain and Behavioral Health Clinic within the Neuropsychology Division in the Neurocognitive Disorders Center is directed by Dr. Christina Burrows. The clinic offers cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive compensatory strategy training for individuals with objective cognitive impairment due to medical or neurological conditions, such as brain injury, stroke, brain tumor, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Outpatient individual and group treatment sessions are available.

Psychotherapy services are also offered in the Brain and Behavioral Health Clinic. Services involve psychoeducation and evidence-based psychotherapy for a variety of emotional concerns. Treatment includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals with neurological and medical conditions who may be experiencing insomnia, depression/mood changes, anxiety, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), or adjustment difficulties. Outpatient individual and group psychotherapy formats are available.

How to Schedule an Appointment

We welcome your call and the opportunity to assist with your healthcare, whether for neuropsychological evaluation, cognitive rehabilitation/retraining, or psychotherapy services. A referral from your physician or other healthcare provider is necessary to schedule an appointment, however. Upon receiving the referral our helpful staff will contact you to schedule your assessment for neuropsychological evaluation or intervention services with one of our providers. We thank you for allowing us to be a part of your care.

Clinical Psychology

Rock Climbers silhouetted against written notes

The program is designed for completion in five years, the last year of which is the clinical internship. The first two years are relatively course intensive, during which students complete basic courses in research methodology, scientific domains of psychological inquiry, and core clinical courses in psychopathology, assessment, and psychosocial interventions.

Students become involved in faculty-led research teams during their first year, affording them the opportunity to collaborate with team members in developing research questions, designing empirical studies, collecting and analyzing data, writing manuscripts, and presenting scientific papers at national and regional conferences. By the end of their first year, students propose their master’s thesis research to be completed during their second year. The Clinical program emphasizes student involvement in collaborative research beyond their thesis research, providing a broad foundation in research methodology prior to formulating their dissertation research during their third year. We expect our students to have several scholarly publications and presentations at scientific meetings prior to applying for the pre-doctoral internship.

Students also acquire clinical skills in assessment and intervention beginning in their second year. All students serve as primary therapists for clients at our  Department Clinic  serving children, adolescents, and adults from the community (as individuals, couples, or families) under close faculty supervision. Advanced students may specialize in certain types of cases (e.g., eating disorders, chronic pain, substance abuse, attention-deficit disorders, or relationship problems) and may also involve themselves in one of the ongoing specialty training/research programs at the clinic, gaining intensive experience with a particular problem while participating in the design, conduct, and evaluation of a research project.

Since the 1990s, the Clinical program has been successful in developing a variety of community and regional training sites in assessment, crisis intervention, individual and group therapy, behavioral health consultation, and program evaluation with children, adolescents, and adults.  We view community practica as a valuable means of expanding the breadth of our students’ clinical training in balance with their research and teaching needs.  At present, we have two paid community practica (Brazos County Detention Center and Brazos County Probation and Parole Services), with 2-3 students placed at each per academic year.  At Brazos County Detention Center, students develop skills in psychodiagnostic interviews, brief individual therapy, crisis management, and consultation with correctional staff as well as other community agencies servicing inmates, with common referrals involving noncompliance with staff, aggressive behavior, adjustment problems to jail placement, severe emotional distress, unmedicated serious psychiatric disorders, and suicide risk assessment.  At the Brazos County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, students develop skills in psychological assessment of anger and impulse control, substance abuse, and psychopathology, individual or group therapy for anger management, chemical dependence, or severe emotional disorders, and consultation to probation department staff.  In addition to these paid external placements, students may occasionally pursue unpaid practicum experiences at sites that meet specific training needs (e.g., pediatric facilities, VA hospitals).  Such opportunities are developed in conjunction with the primary research mentor and must be approved by the Director of Clinical Training.

Our students are highly competitive for premier pre-doctoral internships nationally (e.g., university and VA medical centers in San Diego, Seattle, New Orleans, New York City, Baltimore, Chapel Hill, Houston, and San Antonio). The majority of our graduates from the Clinical program pursue research positions in academic or medical settings, or clinical training or administrative positions in medical centers or community agencies. The Clinical program at Texas A&M is not intended for individuals wishing to pursue a career primarily in independent clinical practice.

The Clinical program supports an active speaker series that each year brings to campus distinguished faculty members from other universities. This series provides exposure to different perspectives on the field and the opportunity to network with professors at other institutions.

Psychology PhD

The Psychology PhD degree program offers advanced study and research training for students seeking to become leading scientists and scholars in the field

Students in classroom

The Psychology PhD degree program offers advanced study and research training for students seeking to become leading scientists and scholars in the field. The program encompasses a wide array of specialty areas within psychology, including developmental, cognitive, social and personality psychology, and spans the study of both healthy and clinical populations from infancy through older adulthood.

From the start of their training, doctoral students in psychology work closely in research laboratories with faculty mentors. Although the department is highly interdisciplinary, there are three primary areas of research focus:

  • Developmental psychology, which spans topics in children’s social-emotional, cognitive, and language development;
  • Cognitive psychology, including topics in traditional cognitive psychology such as attention, motivation, perception, learning and memory, and face perception ranging from basic science perspectives to applied approaches including interventions to improve cognitive function.
  • Social and personality psychology, including work focused on cultural differences in socio-emotional processing, moral decision making, the formation and evolution of interpersonal relationships between romantic partners and friends, and research on health disparities.

In addition, a number of research labs conduct research with implications for clinical science, including the effects of stress on health, adolescent mood disorders, and social cognition in autism and schizophrenia populations. We also offer strong training in advanced statistical techniques critical for psychology research including courses on dyadic group analyses, longitudinal growth curve modeling, multilevel modeling, and advanced multivariate analyses.

Doctoral students in psychology benefit from a rich intellectual climate at the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), including weekly lectures and research presentations by students, faculty, and visiting scholars. The school hosts an annual colloquium series presented by internationally known scientists, and its four research centers periodically offer symposia and workshops that are freely available to doctoral students. Doctoral students receive funding support for presenting their research at professional meetings and conducting their dissertation research. Finally, doctoral students are provided with a variety of other professional development experiences, including opportunities to develop their teaching skills.

The BBS offices and research facilities are located on the Richardson campus and in centers located in Dallas near the campus of the UT Southwestern Medical Center. Facilities at all locations include classrooms and research laboratories for studies of neuroscience, psychology and communication across the lifespan in both typical and clinical populations.

The PhD program in psychology offers exceptional research facilities on the Richardson campus, including state-of-the-art laboratories equipped for studies of event-related potentials, eye tracking, infant visual and auditory preferences, child learning and development, parent-child interactions and adult interpersonal relationships. In addition, the school’s Center for Children and Families , housed at the Callier Center-Richardson location, offers an array of clinical and community outreach activities organized around three main initiatives: promoting healthy families, strengthening interpersonal relationships and enhancing children’s thinking and learning. Partnerships with area hospitals, clinics, agencies and schools further expand student research opportunities. Students also benefit from working with faculty mentors in the Center for BrainHealth and the Center for Vital Longevity.

Degree Requirements

The PhD program in psychology requires a minimum of 75 semester credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. Students declare a concentration in developmental psychology, cognitive psychology or social/personality psychology. Students are expected to complete the program coursework and research requirements in four to five years. The research requirements include a qualifying thesis research project and a dissertation research project. Students work collaboratively with their faculty mentor and committee to successfully complete all program milestone projects.

The UT Dallas graduate catalog provides information on degree requirements for the PhD in psychology . For updates, please contact [email protected] . The university’s course look-up site, CourseBook , describes some of the program’s specific courses. The Office of Graduate Studies provides information on academic and other policies .

The psychology admissions committee evaluates applications using a holistic review, which includes prior GPA, letters of recommendation, quantitative and verbal scores for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), and a close examination of the statement of purpose. Admission is contingent on a match between the research interests of the applicant and faculty. Applicants are strongly encouraged to identify faculty with similar research interests and to contact them about current opportunities for admission.

Typically, applicants have an average undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above, and completion of an undergraduate degree in a related major is advisable. Completion of a master’s degree is not required. Applicants without a prior degree in psychology should contact the program head for prerequisite coursework.

Applications to the PhD program must include official transcripts, GRE scores, three letters of reference from people qualified to evaluate your potential for successful doctoral study, and a statement of purpose detailing your previous research and professional experiences, your current research interests, and your career goals. The statement of purpose is an extremely important part of your application.

International applicants must provide proof of English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE meeting University minimum requirements.

* GRE scores waived for Fall 2022-24 applicants. Submission of GRE scores (general or subject tests) are optional.

UT Dallas’ main campus is located in Richardson, Texas, about 15 miles north of downtown Dallas; some of the centers of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences are located in Dallas, near the campus of the UT Southwestern Medical School. Both Richardson and Dallas are vibrant communities, with opportunities for art, drama, music, athletics, and other activities. Visit the UT Dallas visitors website for more information about the University.

Richardson and Dallas are richly diverse cities located in one of America’s largest and fastest growing metropolitan areas. The Dallas area boasts 50,000 acres of public park land, the nation’s largest urban arts district with excellent symphony, opera, and art museums, five major sports franchises, multiple entertainment districts, and a thriving culinary scene. The DART rail system runs from the suburbs of Plano and Richardson to the arts district, downtown Dallas, and DFW airport. Yes, it is hot in the summer, but the average daily temperature is 65 degrees (spring, fall, and winter are great!). The area offers a reasonable cost of living and an abundance of sunshine.

Most doctoral classes are held on the main UT Dallas campus in Richardson, but some class offerings may be held in Dallas, at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders, the Center for Brain Health, or the Center for Vital Longevity. Your duties as a teaching assistant or research assistant likely will take place on the main campus in Richardson or at one of the centers in Dallas. Because locations of classes and duties may change over semesters it can be difficult to choose a place to live. Public transportation options are improving, but because commuting by car is relatively easy, many students choose to live in areas between Richardson and Dallas. Some student housing is available on the main campus in Richardson, but on-campus housing caters primarily to undergraduates. You can use online search engines to find housing options that fit your price range and target location, and the program office can also provide information and recommendations from current doctoral students.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact potential mentors prior to submitting application materials. The admissions committee evaluates applications on several dimensions, including not only prior GPA and GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and personal statements, but also the fit between the research interests of the applicant and faculty, and the willingness and ability of the proposed mentor or mentoring team to accept new PhD student supervision responsibilities.

Prior to being admitted, students are invited to visit UT Dallas, to meet with prospective faculty mentors and see their laboratories.

Completed applications must be received on or before  December 1  for admission the following fall. There are no spring or summer admissions.

Yes. We strongly encourage you to identify faculty who share your research interests and to contact them about current opportunities for admission. A primary consideration in PhD admission is a faculty member’s agreement to serve as a student’s mentor.

Decisions on admission are made in mid- to late-February.

The psychology PhD program is an experimental psychology program and provides training for a career in teaching and research. Former graduates have successfully acquired university faculty positions, as well as research positions in hospitals, school systems, healthcare start-ups, and research institutes. Graduates also have worked in applied research settings, conducting program evaluation research with education and intervention programs.

No, we do not offer a clinical or counseling master’s or PhD degree.

This depends on your goals. The master’s degree is appropriate for students interested in broad psychology training beyond the undergraduate level or additional training to prepare them for applying to doctoral programs in clinical psychology and other areas of psychology. The PhD program is appropriate for students interested in careers in research and teaching and involves extensive training in research design and methodology.

These two programs have a lot in common. There is overlap in the coursework of these programs and many of the faculty members are involved with both programs. The psychology program allows for broader training in psychology; students can select a concentration in developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, or social/personality psychology. The cognition and neuroscience program focuses more narrowly on cognitive psychology or neuroscience. One way to decide what program may be best for you is to think about what type of department you see yourself affiliated with in the future and which degree best serves your career goals.

Clinical Neuropsychology Degree and Career Guide

  • Author: Staff Writer
  • Editorial Process

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines neuropsychology as a branch of psychology “that studies the physiological processes of the nervous system and relates them to behavior and cognition.” 1 In other words, neuropsychologists study how biological processes in the brain and other parts of the nervous system are reflected in people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Clinical neuropsychology, which has been recognized as an APA specialty since 1996, involves the application of neuropsychological knowledge to clinical practice. 1 Individuals who practice clinical neuropsychology can also become Board-certified through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) to show that they have developed expertise in this area.

One of the most common services provided by clinical neuropsychologists is the assessment of cognitive and psychological functioning in the context of medical, neurological, or psychiatric disorders. For this, clinical neuropsychologists administer batteries of tests and interpret the results, make diagnoses, and provide feedback to patients and their families. Clinical neuropsychologists may also consult with other providers or provide direct intervention services to help patients improve their cognitive functioning, mood, or behaviors. Some clinical neuropsychologists conduct research to inform and improve clinical practice.

Clinical neuropsychologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals and other medical settings, psychology clinics, and universities. To become a clinical neuropsychologist, you must earn a doctoral degree in psychology from a program that provides broad training in the professional practice of psychology as well as specialized coursework and practica (work-based experience) in neuropsychology. These programs offer either Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degrees. Regardless of which doctoral degree type you choose, in order to earn a license to practice in most states, you will need to earn it degree from a program that is APA-accredited.

Table of Contents

Degree Requirements and Coursework

The Society for Clinical Neuropsychology (SCN) provides a database of doctoral programs that include training in clinical neuropsychology ; as of April 2019, all APA-accredited programs on this list offer degrees in clinical psychology. Most programs that include clinical neuropsychology training require a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0, but you will likely need a higher GPA to be offered admission. Some people opt to earn a stand-alone master’s degree before entering a doctoral program, but this is not required; most students in doctoral psychology programs earn a master’s degree after completing a thesis project about two years into the program. Because clinical neuropsychology is a highly-specialized area of psychology, there are typically no further specializations (concentrations, emphases, specialties) offered for clinical neuropsychology degrees.

Students usually take between four and seven years to complete doctoral programs in clinical psychology. This includes the required year-long internship that is generally completed during the final year of the program. Students complete coursework in psychological theory and the foundations of clinical practice, conduct research (including their own thesis and dissertation projects), and gain experience in clinical settings. In programs that include specialized training in clinical neuropsychology, students can also expect to complete coursework in neuroanatomy and biopsychology, become proficient in a variety of neuropsychological tests, and accumulate hands-on experience practicing clinical neuropsychology with patients. Below are examples of courses that may be required of students studying clinical neuropsychology:

  • Biopsychology
  • Clinical Practicum
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Ethics in Psychology
  • Introduction to Clinical Practice
  • Neuroanatomy
  • Neuropsychological Assessment
  • Personality Assessment
  • Predoctoral Internship
  • Psychopathology
  • Research Methods
  • Theories of Psychotherapy

By the time they reach graduation, students can expect to have developed proficiency in the general practice of psychology as well as the more specialized assessment and intervention services provided by clinical neuropsychologists. They should also have developed skills that allow them to interpret research findings and incorporate them into clinical practice or pursue their own research studies in clinical neuropsychology.

Some aspiring clinical neuropsychologists will also need to complete a postdoctoral training program after earning a doctoral degree, as many states require a certain number of supervised postdoctoral hours to become licensed. Additionally, a two-year postdoctoral program is required for Board certification in clinical neuropsychology through ABPP. The SCN provides a helpful database of postdoctoral clinical neuropsychology programs for individuals seeking this training.

Best Value Schools with On-Campus Clinical Neuropsychology Programs

Below is a table of the best value schools offering doctoral programs that include training in clinical neuropsychology. All of the colleges and universities on the list have undergraduate net prices of $20,000 or lower, an undergraduate graduation rate of at least 50%, and are listed in the SCN database of doctoral programs as of April 2019. Higher graduation rates at the undergraduate level tend to be an indicator of a school’s success, and a low net price is important to prospective students as they consider the return on their investment. We’ve also included additional information you may be interested in, such as the applicable degree(s) offered at each school, the percentage of tenured faculty, and US News & World Report national and graduate clinical rankings.

Students in this program are able to complete an elective Neuropsychology concentration by taking additional courses and undergoing clinical training in neuroscience, neuroanatomy, neuropsychological testing, and other relevant topics. Some of the courses may be completed at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and there are also multiple opportunities for neuropsychological research and clinical placements in the community. The program aims to prepare students in the Neuropsychology concentration for internships and postdoctoral fellowships in clinical neuropsychology as well as future ABPP certification.

University of Utah

The Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Utah offers a Clinical Neuropsychology training program for students who are interested in specializing in this area. Students pursuing this concentration will take courses and seminars in neuropsychology, conduct relevant research, and participate in the program’s Neuropsychology Vertical Team meetings. They are also expected to complete multiple clinical neuropsychology practica placements, such as those offered through the department’s Cognitive Concerns Clinic . Students in the Clinical Neuropsychology program are required to pursue neuropsychology internships and postdoctoral fellowships. The Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Utah has been ranked in US News & World Report’s Doctoral Clinical Psychology Programs category and the program has been APA-accredited since 1954.

Clinical Neuropsychologist Career Information

How to become a clinical neuropsychologist.

To become a clinical neuropsychologist, you must have a doctoral-level degree in the field: a PsyD or a PhD in Psychology. All states require that applicants for licensure receive supervised postdoctoral training in their field, as well as pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). The basic steps for becoming a neuropsychologist include:

  • Earn a bachelor’s degree and (optionally) a master’s degree in psychology or a related field.
  • Earn an accredited PsyD or PhD in Psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology.
  • Complete the required supervised clinical experience in your state.
  • Pass the required exam(s), including the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP).
  • Apply for and receive a psychology license from your state psychology board.
  • Begin practicing as a neuropsychologist.
  • Complete the required continuing educational requirements in order to keep your license current.

Job Description

Many clinical neuropsychologists work in medical hospitals, psychology clinics, rehabilitation centers, private practices, and other similar settings. Patients who are referred to clinical neuropsychologists may present with a variety of medical and psychological concerns, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, neurological disorders, academic difficulties, abnormal development, acute personality changes, or general memory problems. Clinical neuropsychologists will administer and interpret neuropsychological test batteries to make diagnoses and offer recommendations to these patients. They may also provide some psychotherapy services, such as those designed to help improve memory or compensate for cognitive difficulties.

Some clinical neuropsychologists dedicate part or all of their time to research, usually at universities or academic medical centers. These psychologists conduct studies that help psychologists better understand how to diagnose and treat neuropsychological disorders. These studies may involve administering neuropsychological test batteries or using brain imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans.

Because clinical neuropsychology is a specialized area within the broader field of psychology, there is relatively little variability in the job titles for these types of psychologists. However, there are ample employment opportunities for clinical neuropsychologists, as they are in demand in many different medical and psychological settings. Possible job titles for clinical neuropsychologists include:

  • Clinical neuropsychologist
  • Clinical child neuropsychologist
  • Clinical psychologist
  • Research psychologist

Salary and Job Outlook

Clinical neuropsychologists fall under the broader Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) category of counseling, clinical, and school psychologists. BLS data from May 2019 showed that the average annual salary for this category of psychologists was $87,450. 6 Of the 113,270 counseling, clinical, and school psychologists, those working in child daycare services earned the highest average salary ($120,130), followed by those working in home health care services ($105,440). 6

It is expected that there will be a continued need for counseling, clinical, and school psychologists. The number of positions for these professionals is expected to increase by 14.7% between 2018 and 2028, which is equivalent to approximately 1,460 new jobs each year during this time period. 7 In addition, despite the increasing use of technology across many fields, counseling, clinical, and school psychology positions are considered to be particularly stable; they are estimated to have less than a 1% chance of becoming computerized. 8

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do clinical neuropsychologists work.

Clinical neuropsychologists can work in almost any setting where patients are seen for psychological concerns, including outpatient and inpatient clinics as well as private practices. However, clinical neuropsychologists are particularly well-suited to work in medical settings such as neurology clinics or rehabilitation centers, as much of their work is focused on medical and biological issues that underlie cognitive and psychological problems. Clinical neuropsychologists may also work at universities if they conduct research.

What degree do I need to become a clinical neuropsychologist?

Clinical neuropsychologists must have earned a doctoral degree ( PhD or PsyD ) from a program that provides training in the professional practice of psychology as well as specialized training in neuropsychology. This degree should be earned from a program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), as this is required by most states for licensure as a psychologist.

How long does it take to become a clinical neuropsychologist?

A doctoral program that meets the criteria for training in clinical neuropsychology generally takes between four and seven years to complete. After this, you will likely need to complete a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology to be eligible for clinical neuropsychology positions. If you choose to earn a stand-alone master’s degree before entering a doctoral program, this will usually take an additional two years; however, this is an optional step. Therefore, the entire process of becoming a clinical neuropsychologist can take around 10 years.

Can I practice clinical neuropsychology with a master’s degree?

To practice as a clinical neuropsychologist, you must hold a doctoral degree from a program that offers training in clinical neuropsychology. Most states require that you earn this degree from an APA-accredited program to become licensed. Earning a stand-alone master’s degree in neuropsychology will not allow you to practice as a clinical neuropsychologist, but may be a good step for those seeking additional experience prior to doctoral programs.

Can I get a degree in clinical neuropsychology online?

Because the doctoral programs providing clinical neuropsychology training require you to complete multiple years of clinical experience as well as research projects, there are not currently any online programs that will fulfill the requirements necessary for a career as a clinical neuropsychologist.

Can I get a stand-alone master’s degree in clinical neuropsychology?

If you are interested in earning a stand-alone master’s degree prior to a doctoral degree in clinical neuropsychology, programs that provide foundational training in neuroscience will be particularly relevant. Some schools offer master’s programs in general psychology that include courses in neuroscience, while others offer specialized training in neuropsychology and related fields.

Clinical neuropsychology.

Clinical Neuropsychology is a specialty field within clinical psychology, dedicated to understanding the relationships between brain and behavior, particularly as these relationships can be applied to the diagnosis of brain disorder, assessment of cognitive and behavioral functioning and the design of effective treatment.

Clinical neuropsychologists work directly with patients to evaluate and treat psychological symptoms related to brain illness or injury. Such symptoms might:

  • Memory difficulties
  • Mood disturbances
  • Learning difficulties
  • Nervous system dysfunction

Examples of the types of conditions and symptoms a neuropsychologist treats include:

  • Brain or nervous system injuries: These injuries can cause aberrations in memory or thinking ability.
  • Stroke impairment: Strokes can affect behavior, thinking, memory, and other brain functions in obvious or subtle ways.
  • Alzheimer’s and dementia: These conditions may cause changes in memory function, personality, and cognitive abilities.
  • Parkinson’s disease: There are a host of neuropsychological issues associated with this disease. Neuropsychologists can help determine disease progression and decreased function.
  • Developmental delays or learning disabilities in children: Neuropsychologists also work with children who have brain injuries or nervous system disorders.

Specific tasks that a neuropsychologist might perform include:

  • Evaluating patients using neuropsychological assessments of sensorimotor function, cognition, intelligence, language, development, and memory
  • Working with neurologists and other medical providers to help diagnose and understand the disease and resulting behavior
  • Developing treatment plans based on neuropsychological assessments
  • Working with patients and their families to provide counseling and/or education to help them understand and deal with behavioral and cognitive changes
  • Consulting about the need for neurological surgeries and advising on the risks associated with each type.

Top 10 Highest Paying Cities for Neuropsychologist Jobs

We’ve identified 10 cities where the typical salary for a Neuropsychologist job is above the national average. Topping the list is Palo Alto, CA, with San Mateo, CA and Berkeley, CA close behind in the second and third positions. Berkeley, CA beats the national average by $21,735 (17.2%), and Palo Alto, CA furthers that trend with another $27,821 (22.0%) above the $126,217 average.

Importantly, Palo Alto, CA has a moderately active Neuropsychologist job market with only a few companies currently hiring for this type of role.

With these 10 cities having average salaries higher than the national average, the opportunities for economic advancement by changing locations as a Neuropsychologist appears to be exceedingly fruitful.

Finally, another factor to consider is the average salary for these top ten cities varies very little at 9% between Palo Alto, CA and Bellevue, WA, reinforcing the limited potential for much wage advancement. The possibility of a lower cost of living may be the best factor to use when considering location and salary for a Neuropsychologist role.
