Testing and Evaluation Therapists in 02818

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 provide testing for many disorders (ADHD,Depression,Anxiety,ASD) and related issues. I've performed hundreds of evaluations for children, teens and adults providing a warm and comfortable environment that makes testing less stressful and even enjoyable. My career experiences include work in schools, colleges, clinics, hospitals and presently private practice. I know it's important to bridge my experiences and expertise with the uniqueness of each person entering my office. A "One size fits all" approach is not my clinical style. Concerns about learning disorders or Learning Differences including Dyslexia can be assessed.

If you arrived here, then you may be looking for some form of psychological support or treatment. I am a Clinical Psychologist with a background and training in Psychological and Neuropsychological Assessment, treatment of a wide range of psychological & emotional disorders, as well as assessing and treating individuals suffering from chronic pain.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe strongly in the power of therapy to lead to greater self-awareness and to relieve symptoms including depression and anxiety. For therapy to be effective, however, there must be a warm and trusting relationship between the therapist and patient. In the 20 years I have been a therapist, I have successfully treated children, adolescents, adults and families with a wide range of mental health issues. While the underlying concerns vary from patient to patient, the key to therapy is always providing a nurturing environment in which patients feel safe expressing their emotions.
