Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology

Shonna received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Yeshiva University with specialization in neuropsychology. Currently, she is completing her post-doctoral fellowship in neuropsychology at Lenox Hill Hospital. She has extensive training in evaluating and providing individually tailored recommendations for individuals with ADHD and learning disabilities (reading, writing, and non-verbal learning disorders). She also has experience treating anxiety and depression and can help manage psychiatric presentations surrounding learning difficulties (such as test anxiety). She has experience working with children ages 6-18 and adults.

Shonna’s approach involves seeing each individual as a whole, taking into account an individual’s unique strengths and weaknesses in order to provide the best support. This is used to formulate strategies for reading and writing support, and executive functioning support. Within executive functioning, commonly targeted areas include time management, motivation, organizational strategies, and task completion. She is passionate about helping individuals feel confident in their abilities in order to succeed.

Through her doctoral training in Clinical Psychology, Marisa currently works therapeutically with teens and adults ages 17-50 on issues ranging from test anxiety and college preparation to executive functioning tasks such as decision-making, time management, and problem-solving skills with the goal of enhancing self-efficacy and confidence in meeting everyday demands. She applies an empathic and person-centered style to her clients and collaborates with families to ensure a holistic approach to each set of unique challenges they may face.

In her free time, Marisa enjoys taking her dogs for walks, and spending time with family, friends, and in nature, which she finds especially healing. She can often be seen having a lacrosse catch whenever possible or playing soccer with neighbors and friends.
