My name is Gabriel RAFI and I am a neuropsychologist specializing in the assessment and follow-up of cognitive, behavioral and emotional functions. My main role is to help individuals better understand their cognitive abilities and difficulties, whether they are neurodevelopmental disorders, brain injuries or psychological disorders impacting cognitive functioning.
Graduated in neuropsychology at Paris Descartes University in 2013, I had the opportunity to train in various environments such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers and specialized practices. After more than 10 years of practice, I have developed expertise in the evaluation of different disorders and pecularities, such as:
- ADHD (attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity),
- Learning and speech disorders,
- A high potential profile
- Mental and mood disorders and their cognitive impacts,
- Head injuries and cerebrovascular accidents.
As a neuropsychologist, I adopt a global and caring approach. I’m in charge of not only cognitive performance, but also the emotional and behavioral impact of disorders on quality of life. In a therapy, my goal is to provide concrete answers and to support each person towards a better understanding of themselves.

Why consult a neuropsychologist is beneficial for your mental health ?
If you experience difficulties related to attention, memory or other cognitive or psychological aspects such as anxiety, a feeling of not feeling well, it is essential to understand the origin of these potential disorders to adapt life daily accordingly. A neuropsychological assessment provides clear answers and helps to implement effective strategies to improve mental health and quality of life.

FAQ
Neuropsychologist vs psychologist : what is the difference ?
A neuropsychologist specializes in understanding how brain function affects behavior and cognitive processes, often working with individuals who have brain injuries, neurological conditions, or developmental disorders. In contrast, a psychologist focuses more broadly on mental health, emotions, and behavior, using therapeutic techniques to address issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.
While both are trained in psychology, neuropsychologists emphasize the brain-behavior connection, whereas psychologists typically address general psychological and emotional well-being.
