Alzheimer's Therapists in Hewlett, NY

As a clinical neuropsychologist, it is my goal to understand the relationship between the brain and cognitive/behavioral functioning. I work with patients with a variety of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders to help with diagnostic clarification based on the findings of a comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation incorporates information gathered from a clinical interview with the patient (and at times an accompanying family member), responses on emotional/behavioral questionnaires, and performance on standardized cognitive measures.

Greetings! Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Patrick Andretta. Most refer to me as Dr. "A". I am an easygoing and friendly Licensed Clinical Psychologist with 20+ years experience treating those with anxiety, depression, PTSD and adjustment issues. My patients benefit from learning productive ways of thinking that help them deal more effectively with their stressors and other life changes. I also work with the elderly and their siblings to enhance interpersonal communication for a more positive home environment, facilitating acceptance of health issues and other challenges associated with advanced age. I perform testing to assess IQ, address cognitive deficits and memory issues.

The goal in therapy is to become the best version of yourself. My clinical specialties include working with adult and older adult clients with anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, grief and loss, anger and stress management, relationship stress, and support for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. Our mind and body have a fascinating connection, and we would explore methods of healing from a number of techniques that pull from Western and Eastern medicine. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring and treating unique stressors associated with late-life to promote positive aging in our community.
