Katie Bower, MS, NCC, ACMHC
is an associate clinical mental health counselor under the supervision of Kristina Feldman, PhD, who provides individual therapy for Neurodiverse Psychological Services. She works with clients to identify how their diagnosis impacts their ability to socially connect, maintain independence, regulate emotions, manage employment, among other challenges related to executive dysfunction, frustration tolerance, and difficulty living in the gray. Katie believes that being neurodivergent should be an invitation to live one's life on their terms. She is there to help you identify those terms. Katie works with clients 13 years of age and older.

Evaluations
Dr. Feldman provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for individuals with referral questions related to autism, anxiety, mood disorders, learning differences, inattention, hyperactivity, and/or cognitive difficulty. Evaluations consist of a diagnostic interview to learn more about the individual (e.g., history, strengths, concerns, etc.). Then, assessment measures, observations and interactions, and/or cognitive and adaptive evaluations are used to gather psychological data. Results are reviewed and conceptualized by Dr. Feldman and then thoroughly shared with the client along with recommendations.
Consultations
For many neurodivergent individuals and their families, navigating life and available services can be challenging. While there is a great deal of information available in various medium, it is not always up to date or applicable to the individual. Dr. Feldman provides consultations that consist of a review of records, psychoeducation about supporting neurodivergent individuals, and tailored recommendations.
Therapy
We use supportive interactions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies to help clients alleviate symptoms of co-occurring psychological conditions that often accompany neurodivergence.

Dr. Feldman is not currently accepting new clients for therapy.
