Dr. Idalhi Barnes Marrero
Licensed Psychologist / clinical neuropsychologist
Hi! I am Dr. Barnes-Marrero, the founder of Neurogenesis Cognitive and Memory Center. I am a bilingual clinical neuropsychologist offering culturally sensitive psychological and neuropsychological assessments in both Englishorida. Additionally, I conduct virtual evaluations for patients across the United States, accessible from their homes.
As a neuropsychologist, I am deeply committed to conducting these assessments because I believe in the importance of data-driven treatments. They offer a thorough understanding of your condition, helping you to capitalize on your strengths and improve your quality of life. Knowledge is power, and this understanding will guide your future plans and support your journey.
I take a holistic approach to virtual testing and assessment, considering culture, history, and background to understand cognitive-emotional patterns, brain aging, and brain resilience to disease and trauma. I will empower you with data on your brain health and strengths and share tips to address cognitive weaknesses or decline.
Know that I am here to support YOU.
My main priority is to help you feel comfortable. Sitting for an assessment can sometimes seem intimidating, and it's normal to feel anxious, uneasy, or nervous about the process. Testing might seem like a cold, impersonal process, but there's nothing to fear. It's not like school—there are no right or wrong answers, and it's not pass or fail. Instead, it's a tool to thoroughly understand what you're experiencing. I will genuinely focus on you—interested in your journey and current situation. My approach centers around creating a judgment-free space where you feel safe. My friendly, approachable manner aims to put you at ease; you won't experience a cold or detached interaction. Instead, you'll find warmth and understanding. I will work with you to identify your cognitive strengths and guide you to improve any areas of weakness. No matter your diagnosis, my ultimate goal is to empower you with God's guidance and wisdom, helping you understand your brain health and plan for the future.
