A neuropsychologist is a licensed psychologist with additional advanced training, beyond that of a general clinical psychologist, in the relationship between the brain and behavior. Using standardized testing, a neuropsychologist evaluates how conditions such as aging, injury, illness, or neurodevelopmental differences affect memory, attention, language, and other cognitive skills — integrating those scores with your personal and medical history to build a comprehensive picture of your cognitive functioning, and translating the results into practical guidance for you and your care team.

Comprehensive Cognitive Care is a self-pay practice. We're happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. This does not apply to Medicare — see the next question.

No. Dr. Sible has opted out of Medicare, which means we're unable to bill Medicare or provide a superbill for Medicare reimbursement. Medicare beneficiaries can still be seen under a private-pay arrangement.

Because Comprehensive Cognitive Care is a self-pay practice, federal law (the No Surprises Act) entitles uninsured and self-pay clients to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before receiving care. We'll provide a written estimate before your first appointment, and you're welcome to request one at any time — before scheduling or for any service.

Neuropsychological evaluations are available for ages 16 and up. Psychotherapy and cognitive rehabilitation are focused on older adults navigating changes in mood, cognition, or life circumstances — Dr. Sible has particular expertise in geriatrics.

It depends on the referral question, but a comprehensive evaluation takes around 10 hours on average — including a review of available medical records relevant to the referral question, the clinical interview, testing, scoring and interpretation, and the feedback session. The record review and clinical interview together help determine which testing measures are given, since each evaluation is individually tailored to address your specific referral question. This is typically split across a few visits depending on your schedule, with a separate feedback session once scoring and interpretation are complete, at which point you're given a full report of the findings and recommendations.

Yes — Dr. Sible offers both telehealth and in-person appointments at her Corte Madera, CA office. In-person visits are welcome from anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area, not just local Marin County residents, and telehealth is available to clients anywhere in California, since Dr. Sible is licensed in California only.

A photo ID, a list of current medications, and any prior evaluation reports, school records, or medical records relevant to your concerns.

When autism is part of the referral question, Dr. Sible adds a detailed developmental history and autism-specific standardized measures to the cognitive testing used in a standard evaluation, giving a fuller picture of social communication, sensory patterns, and repetitive behaviors alongside cognitive strengths and weaknesses — all within the same evaluation process.
