Deena will also work closely with parents, through collaboration and consultation, in order to ensure the best possible outcome for their children. Deena has a Doctorate in Child-Clinical/School Psychology. She has worked with children of all ages for her entire professional career. Deena has worked in early intervention, in clinical settings, and most recently, in a public elementary school.

Deena has extensive experience completing psycho-educational evaluation with children ages 3-18.
