About Hesed Psychological Services

Hesed Psychological Services provides comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological services across the lifespan, including assessments for individuals ages 6 to 90+. Hesed clinicians evaluate a range of conditions such as dementia/memory concerns, epilepsy, brain injury, stroke, ADHD, learning disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and speech and language concerns.

Hesed is committed to training interns in neuropsychological assessment, diagnostic formulation, and clinical decision-making. Our training emphasizes the integration of scholarly research with clinical practice. Interns are encouraged to engage with current literature, participate in original research using our clinical database, present their dissertation findings in professional settings, engage in peer supervision with Hesed’s doctoral practicum students, attend weekly didactic training and fact finding sessions, present cases to the training cohort, and carry a small therapeutic caseload. The integration of Christian faith and empirical research is intentionally practiced at Hesed, where referrals come from local churches, schools, medical and professional practices, and out of state referrals.

 

Training Opportunities

  • Primary focus in neuropsychological testing of children, adolescents and adults with a wide variety of concerns.

  • Interns will gain hands on experience with traumatic brain injury, dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease, frontal temporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia), neurological disorders (including stroke, epilepsy, brain tumors), the impact of substance use (including prenatal exposure), autism spectrum disorder, attention disorders, executive functioning, learning disorders (including reading, writing, math), social difficulties, psychological and personality concerns, and behavioral concerns.

  • Interns work closely with the staff neuropsychologist in conceptualizing each case, determining the appropriate battery based on the referral questions and in the interpretation/report writing process.

  • The interns participate in didactic trainings specific to their neuropsychology practice.

  • Interns carry a small outpatient caseload.

  • Supervision and training provided are consistent with Minnesota Conference guidelines.
