Psychologist (Maryland license #3240) Pediatric Neuropsychologist 611 Dartmouth Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20910, 301-920- 0111, ebpsyd@starpower.net, www.DrElliotBlumenstein.com NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION AND RELATED SERVICES I have about a 6 month waiting list for comprehensive evaluations (two mornings) but that I have much more immediate openings for briefer consultations. The majority of my practice time is committed to the provision of comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children, adolescents, and young adults designed to clarify their cognitive, pre- academic/academic, and social-emotional functioning. The evaluations are completed by me and include: 1) an initial parent interview on the first day of the evaluation; 2) test administration, scoring, and interpretation; 3) an interpretive conference; and 4) preparation of the written report. The results are subsequently useful in determining such things as: 1) appropriate educational placement and programming; 2) the need for tutorial support and/or adjunctive services [i.e., speech/language therapy; occupational therapy]; 3) behavior management and/or psychotherapeutic techniques; 4) avenues for self-help; and 5) advisability of medical intervention. Julie Morrison, Psy.D., 10440 Shaker Dr., Suite 209, Columbia, MD 21046, 410-952-9574, jmorrison7@comcast.net, www.drjuliemorrison.com As a licensed psychologist and mother of two school age children with ADHD and language-based learning differences, I possess a unique combination of professional knowledge, practical experience, and personal dedication to making a difference in the lives of children, adolescents, and adults for whom learning, attention, behavior, or emotional disorders pose a challenge to accessing their strengths. Completing my doctorate in clinical psychology at the American School of Professional Psychology, I adopted an integrative approach, emphasizing both psychodynamic conceptualization and cogntive- behavioral strategies, which influence my therapeutic approach. Professionally,I have conducted individual, family, and group psychotherapy, as well as hundreds of comprehensive psychological evaluations in outpatient clinic and group practice settings. At the Kennedy Kreiger Family Center/Johns Hopkins Hospital, I co- coordinated a Birth to Five Clinic. Both my doctoral program and pre-doctoral internship were accredited by the American Psychological Association(APA). I am listed in the National Register of Health Service Providers of Psychology. I am a member of both APA and the Maryland Psychological Association, where I serve on the Professional Practice Committee.
