About Northeast Evaluation

Recognizing the need for neuropsychological evaluation, rehabilitation, and behavioral health resources in the region, in 1998 Dr. Tina Trudel opened TM Trudel & Associates in Dover, NH, with a focus on serving individuals with TBI, neurocognitive impairments, and behavioral challenges across the lifespan. As the practice grew, it was a natural next step to merge clinical resources with Occupational Therapist/Work Capacity Evaluator Jim Samson, OTR/L, a longtime colleague, to form Northeast Evaluation Specialists, PLLC.

The practice expanded across ME, NH, and VT, providing assessments, medico-legal services, vocational rehabilitation, agency consultation, case management, and industrial rehab services, with hubs across the tri-state area. Clinical resources grew to include physical therapy and other rehabilitative services, as well affiliation with Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist, Dr. Stefanie Griffin, based at the Dover, NH central office.

During the COVID pandemic, Northeast Evaluation Specialists, PLLC refocused on its core business of providing evidence-based, state-of-the-art evaluations for individuals 18 and older, with neuropsychological evaluations through its Dover and Peterborough, NH offices, and functional capacity evaluations in these NH locations as well as through satellite locations in ME and VT.
