Understanding Where Your Mind Feels Clouded — and Why
When memory lapses, mental fog, or changes in focus begin to interfere with daily life, it can be quietly disorienting. You might second-guess yourself more often or struggle with tasks that once felt simple. Others might worry about whether these changes are “normal” or question what you are going through. At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, we offer cognitive and neuropsychological assessments as a compassionate starting point — not to label, but to listen more deeply to what your brain and body may be telling you.
These assessments can clarify how neurological, medical, or emotional factors are influencing your mental functioning — helping you and those who care for you move forward with greater understanding and care.
What We Explore Through Cognitive & Neuropsychological Assessment
This isn’t just about “testing” — it’s about mapping your cognitive landscape with empathy and insight.
Together, we explore:
- Memory challenges that feel unusual, persistent, or emotionally disruptive
- Difficulties with problem-solving, organization, or sustained attention
- Word-finding issues, slowed processing, or mental fatigue
- How emotional strain or trauma might be intersecting with cognitive concerns
- Cognitive and behavioral changes following injury, illness, or medical treatment
- Shifts in daily functioning that raise concern for early cognitive decline
We also consider the broader picture: cultural context, language background, personal history, and how these shape your experience of thinking, remembering, and focusing.
Our Assessment Approach
Cognitive and neuropsychological assessments at MapleTree are never cold or mechanical.
Keeping the person at the forefront, our assessing psychologists use an empathic and collaborative framework to ensure each evaluation is:
- Thorough and objective, balancing real-life experiences with scientific advances in understanding the root causes of your problems.
- A personalized process, such very evaluation is uniquely designed with the individual’s concerns, history, and goals in mind, ensuring meaningful insights and personalized recommendations for care.
- Standardized attention Tests, such as the WAIS, WMS, DKEFS, NAB, MOCA, RBANS, and CVLT
- Collaborative interpretation, ensuring that findings are shared in a grounded, emotionally attuned space that also considered you environment and relationships sensitive to multicultural and linguistic factors, particularly in a city as diverse as Dubai
After the assessment, we offer reflective feedback sessions — not just to explain results, but to hold space for emotions, questions, and next steps.
