Dr. Plunkett is a pediatric neuropsychologist providing evaluation, consultation, and behavioral therapy. There are many reasons why children are referred for neuropsychological evaluation. Children suspected of having a developmental disorder (e.g., intellectual disability, ADHD, or learning disability) often require evaluation. Children diagnosed with a medical disorder (e.g., epilepsy) or who sustained a head injury may require evaluation for treatment planning. At times children are also referred because they are struggling for unclear reasons and an evaluation is needed to clarify what may be contributing to their presentation.

Often people look into therapy when feeling consumed with overwhelming thoughts, worries, and transitions. In difficult moments, taking the next step to begin therapy can feel like the most overwhelming part of it all. My role as a therapist is to create a safe space for you to sort through emotions, struggles, and experiences in a manner that you feel comfortable with. I truly believe that each person is the expert of their own lives. I aim to instill hope and teach strategies to help those in need understand that change and growth towards a more meaningful life is possible.

You are just as important to your communities as your communities are to you. This framework grounds the work I do. Western concepts of healing have historically enforced rigid individualism as the ideal way of life. However, I believe that understanding who you are, as both an individual and community member, makes space for your more nuanced, wholesome, and expansive narrative. My work with clients focuses on being present with emotions, navigating individual and collective traumas, reconnecting to your physical body, and empowering healing and joy. I'm hoping for healing and liberation for us all!

Your inner world is unique; the things that make you happy as well as those that make you unhappy. Navigating romance, family, friendship, and work gets complicated. This comes naturally with the territory of being human. We strive to fulfill our life dreams and sometimes feel this is not possible. But it is usually more possible than we think!

Is your child struggling in school or at home but no one seems to understand why? To be able to effect change and make progress, a problem must be thoroughly understood. Many times, a problem will manifest as a function of disruptions that are occurring in the environments in which the individual interacts with regularly.

Do you feel overwhelmed and consumed by stressful life situations? I just may be your answer to relieving some of the emotional stress experienced as I specialize in providing individual therapy. Everyone has the right to feel emotionally healthy and live stress free. I believe this begins with giving yourself permission to address those emotions/behaviors that are disrupting your life. For some of my patients their treatment includes resolving issues from their past and moving forward. My style with patients is always collaborative, interactive and motivating. I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my patients.
