Dr. Goudsmit’s Approach to Comprehensive Neuropsychological Testing & Assessments:
Assessing the Whole Individual
As a practicing, psychodynamically-trained psychotherapist who regularly meets with school-aged children, adolescents, and young adults, Dr. Goudsmit looks at the "whole individual," evaluating how emotional factors and neurocognition impact day-to-day life and learning. Her approach to comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, comprehensive written report, and feedback session(s) provides parents, educators, and each individual evaluated with a powerful tool for deep understanding.
An Integrated, Multidimensional Perspective
Dr. Goudsmit’s integrated expertise in both neuropsychology and psychotherapy provides a robust and multidimensional approach, allowing her to evaluate how cognitive, emotional, and developmental factors dynamically inform experience and learning potential.
While some practitioners focus on narrow domains of function, Dr. Goudsmit’s training and clinical experience ensure a more nuanced, comprehensive understanding of complex learning and attention-related disorders (ADHD) across all age groups.
Collaborative Thinking
An assessment is only as valuable as the real-world support it creates. Dr. Goudsmit’s evaluation process is highly collaborative. She offers dedicated evaluation consultation services explicitly designed to bridge the gap between clinical diagnoses and daily experience, transforming test results into powerful tools for understanding that bring about change.
