Sparrow Neuropsychology

Personalized neuropsychological assessment in Cambie, Vancouver.

Sparrow neuropsychology is the private practice of psychologist Christopher Benjamin, PhD, an Associate Professor (adjunct) at Yale University who trained at UCLA, Harvard University, and the University of Melbourne.

Sparrow provides in-depth, evidence-based neuropsychological assessment and consultation for individuals and families in Vancouver. We measure individuals’ thinking skills – such as their memory, attention, organizational and language skills – to help identify and treat problems.
