My areas of specialty include assessing for learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, high functioning autism, social-emotional disorders, as well as ADHD therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, a Diplomate of the American Board of School Neuropsychology, a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, as well as an ADHD - Certified Clinical Services Provider. Please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation.

Are you or your child struggling with attention, anxiety, sadness,learning disabilities or relationship concerns? I provide a calm and comforting environment. Neuropsychological/psychological evaluations to diagnose and provide recommendations are also a focus . We can evaluate for psychiatric conditions, learning disabilities, ADHD, processing speed issues. Recommendations for IEP and 504 plans and for standardized testing accommodations. Our evaluations contain specific and detailed recommendations to assist with treatment planning, goal achievement, and attainment of accommodations and/or educational modifications.

I am a caring, understanding, trusting professional. I have a strong interest and desire to help people function in society to the best of their ability. I have a deep understanding of the problems children and adolescents face in school, especially those with a classified disability. I have many years of experience working with school-aged children, adolescents and adults, helping them overcome emotional and stress-related problems, as well as help individuals with learning disabilities succeed in life. When you come to see me, you will find a warm, caring environment to help promote your progress.

I am Dr. Shoshana Isenberg, a clinical psychologist with 30 years of experience. Areas of specialty include autism, what was previously described as "Aspergers", and related disorders.This practice is focused on diagnostic evaluations for autism. If your child has "red flags" for autism, you may feel unsure of what steps to take next. I know this is a particularly stressful time for the family. One of my particular areas of interest is helping families to navigate this time, and to help parents access the resources and therapies needed to make progress. Testing includes ADOS, the gold-standard assessment tool for autism .

Our team of professionals includes psychotherapists and neuropsychologists. Our team of therapists focus on providing cognitive behavior therapy, which is an approach that helps clients to identify unhealthy ways of thinking so that they can learn to change those patterns and develop healthier coping skills. We have clinicians that focus on supporting the emotional needs of children as well as those who work with adults. Our neuropsychological services assess for learning differences which may result from a range of challenges, including but not limited to ADHD, brain injuries, learning disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

My goal is to help you achieve balance and wellness in your life. We work collaboratively using proven treatment approaches. I work with adults, young adults, and school-age children (ages 4 to 12) who are faced with a difficulty that impacts quality of life. When I work with children, I collaborate with parents as well. My goal is to help people understand the complexities of mental health and develop healthy strategies to improve their lives. Change is hard, and we work together to make that happen.

I am a psychologist who has provided psychotherapy and psychological testing services to children, adolescents, and adults for over 30 years. I have developed a particular interest in working with hypersensitive children and in the differential diagnosis of ADHD and Bipolar Disorder. Many of the pervasively hypersensitive children and adolescents with whom I work have come to me with a diagnosis of ADHD, but are then found, after a thorough evaluation, to have either an anxiety or mood disorder. As a therapist who works primarily with children and adolescents, I have found that when children feel understood and valued, they connect.

Do you or your child struggle academically, emotionally, or socially? Does your school not provide necessary testing or learning accommodations and support? Or does your gifted or 2E child not receive the enrichment needed to achieve his or her full potential? Neuropsychological evaluations help students obtain the learning recommendations, school and testing accommodations, or enrichment needed for academic, emotional, and social growth. Clients and families also often find the assessment process therapeutic in itself, as it leads to understanding of individual strengths and weaknesses and clear diagnosis of any disabilities.

My ideal client would want to identify and implement the necessary steps to address his/her immediate goals, but also invested in developing insight and skill development for the long-term, self-awareness, and overall growth as an individual. This client would be present, genuine and open to discuss his/her concerns in a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment.

We are all much more simply human than otherwise (Harry Stack Sullivan). I believe that one finds mental health in meaningful, connected relationships with others-our parents, partners, children, friends, siblings, and therapists. I bring warmth, humor, and honesty into my therapeutic work, and act as a support and guide as you work to improve areas of your life that you are inspired to change. I focus on growth and reparation, not pathology. I have a broad range of experience with all ages and ranges of problems, and can offer comprehensive treatment to children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups.

As a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist, I have expertise in both therapy and assessment, which provides me with a unique perspective on underlying reasons for behaviors and appropriate interventions. Through my assessments, I am able to pin point an individual's strengths and needs, providing diagnostic clarity, self understanding, and direction for treatment and/or educational planning. In collaboration with clients and schools, I help identify appropriate school-based supports, including standardized testing and college accommodations, and draw upon my experience in educational advocacy.
