Allison G. Sitrin

I specialize in evaluating and working with preschoolers, school aged children and adolescents with a range of psychological, educational and neuropsychological issues. These issues include developmental delays, learning disorders, ADHD, chronic medical conditions, divorce, remarriage, adoption and PTSD. As part of the process, I work closely with each child’s family and offer parent guidance. While trained in a psychodyamic approach, I incorporate cognitive behavioral strategies and a deep understanding of attachment research and neuropsychology into my work.

Additionally, I am certified as a school psychologist by the New York State Department of Education.
