Brian Yochim, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist who joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) in 2006 to teach graduate courses in clinical neuropsychology and psychology of aging, and to supervise clinical neuropsychological assessments in the UCCS Aging Center.  Clinical neuropsychology is a field specializing in the assessment of memory and other cognitive abilities.  Through a neuropsychological evaluation, a person can find out if her or his memory is normal for their age, worse than normal, or better than normal.  A neuropsychologist can pinpoint the cause of a memory problem and possible interventions for it.

Dr. Yochim grew up in Missouri, and earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.  In 2004, he completed an APA-accredited internship at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System in Palo Alto, California, specializing in clinical geropsychology and neuropsychology.  Then he completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology, with a focus on aging, at the VA Northern California Health Care System in Martinez, California, in affiliation with the University of California at Berkeley and Davis.  Dr. Yochim is eager to utilize the latest techniques in clinical neuropsychology to best serve the residents of the Palisades at Broadmoor Park.  In their spare time, he and his wife enjoy hiking in Colorado and National Parks throughout the West, listening to music, and gardening.
