Woodhouse has a rich background of clinical diagnostic work with adults who have a wide range of brain-based conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia), movement disorders (e.g. Parkinson’s disease), stroke, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. In addition, he has assessed the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning of patients with complex medical problems and diverse psychological disorders. Further, he conducts Federal Aviation Administration-approved (FAA) neuropsychological examinations of pilots who seek recertification for flying after identification of a disqualifying neurological or psychiatric condition.

As a treating clinician, he has a particular interest in supporting patients’ adjustment to catastrophic injuries and complex medical illnesses. To that end, he utilizes acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches.
In addition to his clinical and forensic work, Dr. Woodhouse has engaged in research as a sub-investigator in numerous dementia-related clinical drug trials. In 2005 and 2007, he received grant funding for investigations of biofeedback treatment of acute pain and the measurement properties of neuropsychological tests of memory. His scholarly work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including The Clinical Neuropsychologist, Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, Pain Physician, and General Hospital Psychiatry.
