Testing and Evaluation Therapists in New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey. I am an authorized practitioner through PSYPACT, which allows me to practice telepsychology in 39 states. My office is in Midtown Manhattan, where I also provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT. I also perform psychological evaluations and specialize in education and forensic evaluations.

My approach to doing therapy is different for each person who comes to me, so it's hard to describe what being in therapy with me is like. My training and background is broadly psychoanalytic, but I am pretty sure I am more interactive than most other therapists with my training and orientation. I am supportive, direct in my way of talking about problems, and have a good sense of humor.

I have over fifteen years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families; as well as psycho-educational testing and assessments; to children, adolescents, and adults of all age ranges. I also provide consultation to schools and educational facilities on learning and developmental issues.

My practice solely focuses on neuropsychological assessments, as such I am able to conduct evaluations in a timely manner. Many families come to me when their child is struggling academically, socially, and/or presents with attentional difficulties. A neuropsychological evaluation can help determine your child's strengths and weaknesses and I will collaborate with you as parents and your child's teachers to develop a comprehensive learning plan with tailorized recommendations.

If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, or have come to a crossroad in life where you are feeling troubled or unclear, therapy can be an anchor to help you slow down, reassess and refocus.

My primary goal is to provide a safe, empathetic, and warm environment to encourage personal exploration and growth. I help clients find relief from life's challenges related to anxiety, depression, transitions, relationships and work-related stress.

Psychological evaluations (also referred to as ‘testing’ or ‘assessment’) can help children, adolescents, and adults better understand their behavior, functioning, cognition, mood, and personality. Evaluations are likely warranted in the presence of suspected ADHD; difficulties with attention, concentration, and/or hyperactivity; persistent academic difficulties (e.g., reading, writing, math); social, behavioral, and/or emotional difficulties; inability to engage in real-life skills (e.g., grooming, getting dressed, etc.); and/or psychological symptoms that have not responded to treatment (e.g., paranoia, severe anxiety, etc.).

My practice has a dual specialty neuropsychology and psychotherapy. I see children, adolescents, and adults. In Neuropsychology, I see individuals who have experienced a learning difficulty or frustration in an academic environment. I specifically look to identify patterns of learning and adapting novel information to help individuals achieve the most out of their academic career. On the psychotherapy side, I use both psychodynamic and interpersonal modalities incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to identify negative patterns of coping. Utilizing gentle challenges to current patterns, positive coping can be effected.

When conducting neuropsychological testing, my mission is to provide a warm and caring environment and to see the complete person so that you leave feeling like you have been heard. As a trained neuropsychologist I understand neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as attention and learning difficulties and how they affect abilities. Psychological/neuropsychological evaluations include assessment of all brain functioning, academic performance, language, and social/emotional development. My aim is to help determine how you or your child are functioning now and how to best help you move forward.

Has your child's school told you they need to be tested? Have you been rejected for a job and need to be re-tested to demonstrate you actually do qualify? Has your therapy hit a dead end and your therapist needs diagnostic clarity to take you to the next level? My practice was designed to address each of these concerns and more. Testing and evaluation opens up doors to school services, better job opportunities, and in some cases, can help the courts better understand your side of situations. Together, we can use your testing results to help you navigate these systems even more effectively. Not offering therapy at this time.

Living as an ADHD or Autistic adult can be frustrating and overwhelming. You might feel out of step with the world or misunderstood. Why don’t people just say what they mean? Why can’t people respect your process just because it’s different? Why can’t you feel more at peace with your body, mind, and senses? Our minds are colorful and complex, yet we struggle in a world not tailored to our unique patterns. Adapting and masking our true selves to fit in can be exhausting. The constant need to adapt, the feeling of being misunderstood, and the search for a space where you can be your true self is a path you need not walk alone.
