I work with students who may have
learning disabilities
, attentional challenges, behavioral difficulties, or are experiencing anxiety surrounding their schoolwork.
I conduct neuropsychological evaluations with children, adolescents, and adults. For students, families typically seek out these assessments when something is interfering with their child's progress, whether academic, behavioral, or emotional. For adults, clients may need help determining why they are not performing to their potential, or working as efficiently as they would like.

Judith Adamo
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I have spent years performing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and providing remedial services for
learning
issues, executive/organizational difficulties, and coaching.
Life's challenges are many and COVID 19 has created a monumental shift in how we live and how we think about what it means to be human. It has put a different perspective on existing challenges while at the same time creating new ones. Facing such challenges in a supportive relationship can make a difference during these times of heightened anxiety. This type of self-examination takes courage and trust, and I feel privileged when asked to accompany someone on their journey. The success of this type of work lies in the relationship itself.
