What is a Neuropsychologist?
A neuropsychologist is a specialized psychologist who studies the relationship between the brain and behavior.
They use a variety of assessments and tests to evaluate individuals with brain injuries, neurological disorders, or other cognitive impairments. Neuropsychologists may also provide treatment and interventions to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their cognitive and emotional functioning.
One of the major focuses of Neuropsychology is brain injuries and illnesses. These researchers want to understand how something like a stroke changes their patient’s mental functionalities.
Being a Neuropsychologist means interacting with people of all ages and life stages. They get new patients from doctor referrals. If their regular physician suspects they have a traumatic brain injury or another disorder that will impact their brain, they will send them to a Neuropsychologist.
Within Neuropsychology, practitioners commonly treat people with learning disorders, brain tumors, epilepsy, and brain cancer. They can also work with dementia and Alzheimer’s patients or athletes who incurred a sports-related brain and nervous system injury.
How Much Money Does a Neuropsychologist Earn?
Neuropsychology is one of the better-paying subsets of psychology. The US average salary is $79,820.
Initially, Neuropsychologists earn $60,000-$70,000 but this number jumps after around 5 years of experience. Established Neuropsychologists make $100,000+ on average and many professionals report earning significantly higher than this.
