Kelsea is currently in her first year of postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology at NCMA. She specializes in providing pediatric neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents with complex medical and neurodevelopmental histories.

Kelsea graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Nova Southeastern University. She obtained her Master’s (MS) and is completing her Doctoral degrees (PsyD), with a Major Area of Study in Health Psychology, from Antioch University New England in Keene, New Hampshire. Her graduate training included two years in pediatric neuropsychological assessment at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) and one year providing specialty mental health and integrated behavioral health care (IBHC) interventions to children, adolescents, and adults at Concord Hospital and a rural Family Health Center. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at DHMC, conducting neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults with complex medical, neurodevelopmental, and psychosocial histories. She additionally participated in interdisciplinary autism evaluations. During internship, Kelsea also provided crisis management and evidence-based individual and group interventions (e.g., CBT, TF-CBT, DBT) at a youth detention center. Throughout her graduate training, she actively engaged in a variety of scholarly research and quality improvement projects that were presented at local and national conferences.

All of Kelsea’s training experiences have strongly informed and shaped her current practice. Notably, training within medical centers and a secure detention facility taught her the value of connecting with patients and providing services that will foster a successful future.

Kelsea is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET), further enhancing her ability to provide comprehensive care to her patients.

Throughout her life, Kelsea has enjoyed working with children as a coach, in the classroom, and professionally. Growing up in Maine taught her the value of family and community, and she looks forward to serving the families and communities in her home state.

“I am passionate about creating and preserving a comfortable, safe, and equitable environment for the individuals and families I work with. I appreciate unique individual needs and carefully consider family circumstances throughout the evaluation. I always take the time to listen to patients and their families as I strive to provide meaningful and transformative recommendations that will ultimately help improve overall quality of life.”
