About Me

Dr. Phillips is a licensed clinical psychologist with specialty training and board certification in pediatric neuropsychology through the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology (ABPdN). She specializes in providing comprehensive neuropsychological and educational evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodevelopmental disorders and their psychiatric co-morbidities. Her expertise spans a wide range of conditions that affect learning, behavior, and social-emotional functioning, including ADHD, learning disorders, language disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. Dr. Phillips is also adept in the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with anxiety and mood disorders. Dr. Phillips approaches her psychological evaluations with clinical intuition, sensitivity, compassion, and careful attention to detail, considering the complex relationship between a child's learning style, emotional well-being, and their educational setting. Dr. Phillips has a specialty interest in the neuroscience of reading and the identification and treatment of reading disorders. Her interest and expertise within this field led her to oversee the development and piloting of a grant-funded, small group reading intervention targeted at underserved and at-risk readers within the New York City Public School system that is still running.
