Get to know Neuropsychologist Dr. Paula Neuman, who serves patients in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Neuman specializes in testing and diagnosis of neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric conditions. She is the owner & operator of NE Psychological, LLC in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

As such, she has a passion for brain injured patients and their families by working with them to understand their condition, as well as creating plans to cope and rebuild their lives. She sees patients of all ages for testing, diagnosis and treatment, as well as sees patients for counseling who are experiencing the challenges that the human experience brings.

“I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling, and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients’ individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for” expressed the doctor. 

Her neuropsychological specialty focuses on brain disorders and the functionality of the human brain. Her services include independent medical exams, disability exams, neuropsychological testing, chronic pain assessments, bariatric assessment, and pre-surgical assessments, as well. 

“As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life” as stated by Dr. Neuman.

Before embarking on her professional journey, she graduated with her Doctor of Education degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2000. She then went on to earn her Doctor of Psychology degree from Adler University in 2009, and her Certificate in Neuropsychology from Fielding Graduate University in 2017, after attending a two year fellowship in Chicago and Manhattan. 

Following this, Dr. Neuman earned a postdoctoral Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University, in preparation for prescribing psychologists. In 2020, she earned a Master of Business Administration degree in Healthcare Management from Western Governors University. Currently, she is working on earning a Certificate in Integrative Medicine from the University of Maryland.  

Continuously advancing her efforts, she is an active member of the Indiana Psychological Association (serving as Treasurer of the Political Action Committee).

Clinical neuropsychology is a subfield of psychology concerned with the applied science of brain-behaviour relationships. A neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specializes in understanding the relationship between the physical brain and behavior. 

Dr. Neuman considers her four daughters to be her most proud accomplishment. She and her husband love to walk, relax, and enjoy nature. They keep busy with their dog and cat, as well as visiting their family.
