Male Therapists in Wakefield, RI

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I specialize in evaluating complex cognitive and behavioral problems that often pose a dilemma for individuals, parents, teachers, and treating professionals. I believe that a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation should provide an in-depth understanding of the entire person, including their cognitive style, emotional style, and strengths as well as weaknesses. The immediate goal is to arrive at an accurate diagnosis that will guide treatment, but the ultimate purpose is to promote deeper self-understanding and to enable each person to achieve his or her true potential.

I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children, teens, and young adults to assess attention, learning, executive-functioning, and social/emotional difficulties. I employ a highly specialized assessment protocol that leads to meaningful home- and school-based recommendations to help children reach their potential. My electronic reports provide online, interactive links to websites, videos, and learning tools that extend the usefulness of the testing. I specialize in working with children with symptoms of ADHD, Learning Disabilities, anxiety, and Autism Spectrum Disorder who struggle with executive-functioning skills and have difficulty completing homework or appear disorganized, distracted, or inflexible in problem solving.

I work with adolescents and adults as they work through issues related to mood, anxiety, grief, sexuality and relationship issues. I believe in the importance of finding satisfaction in your relationships. In my view, the majority of mood symptoms stem from relational issues and the way we interact with people. Positive, satisfying connections to people is fundamental to mental health.

I continuously strive to give the most individualized care and support that I can, to best meet the needs of each client. In order to do so, I get to know my clients so that I can better understand them, their needs, their weaknesses and most importantly their strengths. In doing so, I am able to more effectively work with them to help them gain a better understanding of themselves and the reasons driving their mal-adaptive behaviors and choices. With a better understanding of oneself and one's actions, the steps towards making desired positive changes become more clear and attainable.
