What is Clinical Psychology?

Clinical psychology involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychological, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. In the context of pediatric neurology, our clinical psychologist plays a vital role in understanding how neurological conditions affect a child’s thinking, learning, behavior, and emotional health – and in providing evidence-based interventions to address these challenges.
