Therapeutic Approach and Modalities

Hadley is a thoughtful and warm clinician who takes a culturally responsive, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to assessment. She works to transform test scores into individualized recommendations — helping patients and families move from raw data to a real understanding of how a person's mind works.

Unique to her work: Hadley brings both a psychodynamic and a neurodiversity-affirming lens to her assessment practice. This means she is not only looking at test scores — she is attending to the whole person: their history, their emotional world, and the cultural context that shapes how their mind developed and how they navigate the world.

Personal Note

I am the parent of an Autistic child. Going through the diagnostic process — from first wondering whether an evaluation was needed, to receiving professional feedback, and then advocating for accommodations — has provided a perspective I carry with me in my work every day.
