I am a licensed psychologist specializing in neuropsychological assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of neurodevelopmental difficulties, including ADHD, developmental delays, and learning-related issues, as well as medically related neurocognitive dysfunction. I also conduct individual psychotherapy with similar focus. I work with children of all ages through young adulthood. I take pride in helping my clients and their families with unanswered questions about their struggles at home, school, and/or work, and enjoy helping them find solutions and providing them with recommendations to alleviate their concerns.

Neuropsychologists Dr. Anneliese Radke & Dr. Nicholas Bott specialize in assessment for those seeking assistance with diagnostic clarification for complex cases with multifactorial components, characterizing extent of cognitive & functional changes, describing one’s cognitive profile (e.g., strengths & weaknesses), determining baseline functioning, & tracking changes over time. We provide individualized treatment recommendations & we offer consultation with treatment providers. We also provide supportive & psychoeducational services for individuals & families managing issues related to changes in brain functioning.

Sometimes, you just need some support. Life is full of challenges, but you don’t have to face them all alone. That’s what I am here to do: help you overcome stress, depression, anxiety, and any other issues that may be inhibiting your mental health, relationships, and success. I have been a therapist for almost 10 years now, and I have worked with a large range of clients: from individuals of all ages, to couples, to families.

It has been my privilege to provide counseling and psychotherapy services to individuals and couples for over 20 years. I work with clients experiencing a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress related to work, family, or relationships, parenting, grief and loss, addiction, and medical and aging concerns. I view therapy as an active partnership in which my clients and I work together to identify core concerns, solve problems, and reach goals. With guidance and support, my clients make the changes they desire to feel healthy and satisfied.
