I’m a neurodevelopmental evaluator, therapist, and the founder of ParityWell, a group practice that specializes in therapy as well as Autism and ADHD assessments for adults who may be high masking, gifted, or navigating complex diagnostic questions. I hold a PhD in Social Work from New York University, a Masters of Social Work from Rutgers University, and advanced postgraduate certification in neuropsychological assessment.
At ParityWell, we support people with neurodevelopmental differences, trauma, and co-occurring mental health challenges. We utilize evidence-based approaches including psychodynamic therapy, IFS, adapted ERP and EMDR. We also offer testing and psychological evaluations to help clients gain clarity, understand their needs and access support that's effective.
Reach out! Our services are available in NY, PA and NJ with our in-person office in NYC and coaching and consulting worldwide. Our mission is to help more people navigate healthcare systems and access the care they deserve. We're always happy to share information and resources with anyone if it can support their path to high-quality, affirming care.
