Alyssa Kerrigan, Psy.D.

Introduction

My name is Dr. Alyssa Kerrigan, and I am a Licensed Psychologist with a specialty in School Psychology. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals across the life span, from toddlers to middle adulthood. I specialize in providing supportive counseling and evidence-based interventions for school aged-children/teens and enjoy collaborating with parents through positive techniques and strategies that help them to better understand challenging behavior. I love helping young adults achieve their goals as they move through a transitional period in their lives. I conduct psychological assessments and evaluations for all ages, for concerns such as ADHD, developmental delays, learning disabilities, giftedness, and autism spectrum disorder. Additionally, I have received formal training in the administration of the ADOS-2, the gold standard for assessing ASD. 

My greatest satisfaction comes from helping my clients build on their strengths, step out with confidence, and gain control of their lives through the goals and strategies we collaborate on together.
