Dr. Barbara Nova, a recognized authority on psychological testing and assessment, works with Muir Wood residents providing on-site psychological testing and assessments when clinically indicated. Dr. Nova works in collaboration with the Muir Wood clinical director and psychiatrists to determine if neuropsychological testing is appropriate. In addition, all residents are given multiple assessments upon admission and throughout their treatment stay. Every resident will be thoroughly assessed by our psychiatrist upon admission with weekly follow up; given a thorough nursing assessment by our registered nurse upon admission with weekly follow ups; as well as assessed by both the licensed clinical director and primary therapist upon admission with weekly updates. In addition, the treatment team at Muir Wood’s residential teen rehab meets weekly, including physicians, nurses, licensed therapists, and counselors to discuss each teen’s progress and ongoing treatment plan.
