Cathy Schaefer, PhD
I want to understand how a person’s unique neurocognitive profile impacts their relationships with their family, friends, learning, and themselves. My goal is to support individuals in finding the tools and confidence to become their own active agents of change.
Creating collaborative partnerships with parents, teachers, and other caregivers is an integral component of my approach. Children do not grow up in isolation and often, the focus can become too narrow on an individual. This ignores the complexities of how a family system, community, or societal expectations interplay with a person’s presentation. I believe the most effective method in assessment and treatment is one that accounts for the multiple settings in which people grow.
