Neuropsychologst and psychologist offering assessment and treatment for dyslexia, traumatic brain injury, long COVID, Autism / ASD, dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, and comorbidites (e.g. pain, anxiety, autoimmune). Ages 3 yrs to adult. Significant TBI, LDs, and ASD experience, and versed in testing/treating long COVID. I helped evolve dyslexia & reading models used today (see Wikipedia) as well as theories of visual attention and its representation in the brain (Harvard Univ Jr. Fellow Nomination). 20 yrs experience with high repeat clients. I genuinely care, want to help you/your child, and will stay with you on your journey!
As a clinical neuropsychologist, clinical psychologist, and also neuroscientist of learning disorders and the brain (fMRI, MEG), I offer a broad and comprehensive approach. My approach and personality is positive, disarming, caring and genuine, strength-focused, and tailored for individual needs. I will take on the tough cases and do my best!
Ideology: Show, remind, encourage, and bring out the greatest aspects of selves to enhance lives. No one is disabled, we are all 'able' with our own strengths and abilities and testing/therapy helps people to utilize (and sometimes 'see') these. Broad approach (medical, cognitive, spiritual, etc.) to ensure thorough. Warmly, Dr. Laurie Cestnick
