Neuropsychological Services in Jackson, MS

Our Clinic

Neurocognitive Specialty Group’s Mississippi clinic is located in Ridgeland, just north of Jackson, and serves patients and referring providers throughout the Jackson metropolitan area and across Mississippi. Our primary catchment includes Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, Flowood, Brandon, Pearl, Clinton, Canton, and surrounding communities in Hinds, Madison, and Rankin counties. We also regularly serve patients traveling from the Mississippi Delta, the Gulf Coast, north Mississippi, and rural communities where access to specialized neuropsychological services may be limited. Individuals from the surrounding states, such as the Louisiana Delta, are also referred to us. The clinic is directed by Dr. Anne Carlew, a clinical neuropsychologist, and staffed by Dr. Jessica Utley. Dr. Jessica Utley specializes in the diagnosis of complex psychiatric conditions, ADHD, and autism.

Clinical Evaluations

We provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments for adults. Evaluations assess memory, attention, executive functioning and other aspects of cognition to help diagnose and characterize dementia and mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury and concussion, stroke and other acquired brain injuries, Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, ADHD, autism (ASD), and cognitive concerns associated with complex medical or psychiatric conditions. We also provide diagnostic evaluations for complex psychiatric presentations.

The clinic accepts referrals from neurologists, neurosurgeons, geriatricians, primary care physicians, psychiatrists, rehabilitation providers, and other medical specialists.

Forensic and Independent Evaluations

The Mississippi clinic serves attorneys, insurers, employers, third-party administrators, and government agencies throughout Mississippi and nationally. Forensic services include independent medical examinations involving traumatic brain injury, concussion, PTSD and other psychological conditions, cognitive impairment, disability, and functional capacity. The clinic also provides fitness-for-duty evaluations, decision-making capacity evaluations, worker’s compensation evaluations, records-only reviews, consultation and review of neuropsychological and psychological evaluations, and expert witness testimony at deposition and trial.

Dr. Carlew has specialized expertise in assisting courts in determination of decision-making capacity and retrospective capacity analysis (such as testamentary capacity), civil litigation involving PTSD or TBI claims, and fitness for duty evaluations. Forensic work is billed hourly, and NSG does not accept letters of protection or contingency-based fee arrangements.
