My goal is to combine my compassionate approach with evidence-based methods which I tailor to each individual. Through my therapeutic services, I work to build an authentic relationship not only with each child I see, but also with their family. Rather than placing your child into a predetermined box, I consider their developmental stage, and we will work collaboratively to understand their strengths and challenges and address their needs. Most importantly, I always meet each client exactly where they are on their journey.

I work with students of all ages and levels to help them receive appropriate instruction and programming. Comprehensive evaluations and consultation is student focused to help all stakeholders work collaboratively to best meet the student's needs.

Tutoring targets specific content area concerns, while educational therapy seeks to equip students with the skills, strategies, and tools they need in all stages of their academic journey. In my practice of educational therapy, I support students with complex learning profiles, school-based anxiety, executive function deficits, and low academic confidence. I provide an inviting space that welcomes my clients to explore their learning style with a spirit of curiosity and nonjudgment that encourages self-awareness and discovery.

I am a Columbia-trained clinical psychologist with expertise in neuropsychological screening and psychoeducational testing/evaluations for children and college-age adults to assess performance in educational, developmental, and emotional functioning. Many parents are looking for answers—they have seen their child struggle with learning or emotional issues and want to know a clear path forward. My comprehensive evaluation will identify specific reasons why your child is struggling, provide tailored recommendations, identify appropriate accommodations, address school and college placement issues, and illuminate targets for treatment.

My specialization is with children from early childhood through adolescence with emphasis on behavior management, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), developmental and learning differences, ADHD and Executive Functioning, anxiety, depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My practice focuses on developing outcome-based solutions with your child coming first. This means teaching them how to: identify potential problems, create tools and strategies to empower themselves, and show them how to develop healthy coping skills for successful outcomes. I concentrate on developing better thinking patterns, coping skills, and resiliency in the face of challenges so your child can alleviate his/her concerns before they become insurmountable.

With over 25 years of experience as a psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults, I have learned that a comfortable and honest relationship is the key to a successful outcome. I strive to create an environment that allows clients to feel safe in addressing their challenges and goals. I have extensive experience as a developmental psychologist, and I consider any intervention in the context of the client's broader environment. While I have extensive training in several clinical methods, my work draws most from research in cognitive behavior therapy and family systems.

As a clinical and school psychologist, I work with children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, social skills, executive functioning skills, ADHD, stress and more.

My name is Dr. Hoffmann and I am a neuropsychologist. I assess children (age 5 and up), adolescents and adults. A neuropsychological evaluation is an assessment of how one's brain is functioning in different areas, such as memory and attention, etc., in comparison to peers of a similar age (and similar education when available).

I am the founder of ALB Tutoring, an ensemble of educators who help students develop self-awareness of their unique learning styles to leverage their strengths and address their areas for growth through executive functioning. When this training is combined with academics, standardized test preparation, and college admission guidance, students become empowered to stay engaged, build self-efficacy, and achieve goals. We go beyond traditional teaching, engaging students in conversations that provoke identity and skill development. This embodies our philosophy of "always learning better."
