Dr. Lindsay Petouvis

Early in my life, I knew I wanted to be a psychologist. This was when I did not even know how to spell the word “psychologist.” As I developed my sense of self, and I watched my friends process the same time period differently, I became very interested in how people think and behave as they grow up.As I started off my early career, I worked in education in multiple roles – as a teacher’s assistant, instructor & home program provider for children with autism, and as a school psychologist. During my time as a school psychologist, I found my love of assessment. I realized I love working to find answers related to how people learn, behave, and think, using the least subjective methods possible.While earning my doctorate, I made the decision to focus on neuropsychology for my pre- and post-doctoral internships while simultaneously working in schools. I became a licensed psychologist in New Jersey and New York. Following, I pursued additional instruction and supervision, which ultimately led to me being dually board certified by the American Board of School Neuropsychology and the American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology.For the past 11+ years, I have been working primarily in private practice, conducting neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. My early career experience working in schools has helped ground me in having realistic knowledge of our education system, both public and private. Working in this capacity has permitted me to continually have an understanding of the primary systems children are part of – home and the family unit, as well as school and social environments.To learn more about my education, professional experiences, and affiliations, you can find my most recent curriculum vitae here.
