Dennise Garcia Sevilla, PhD, is a skilled psychologist who specializes in comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and evidence-based psychotherapy for children, families, and young adults. Her collaborative and active approach emphasizes the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance while working towards achieving individual goals. Dennise operates within a systemic and multidisciplinary framework, actively involving parents and collaborating with educators and other providers as necessary. This makes her an effective therapist and neuropsychologist, equipped to evaluate and support youth facing challenges such as disruptive behaviors, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and academic hurdles. She also conducts neuropsychological evaluations for neurodevelopmental disorders, co-morbid medical disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and bilingual neuropsychological testing in Spanish. With experience consulting on complex cases from diverse and bilingual backgrounds that have not responded to existing interventions, Dennise brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice. She earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from The University of South Dakota and completed both an internship and a pediatric neuropsychology fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center. Additionally, she has held the position of Attending Psychologist, where she trained interns and postdoctoral fellows within Child Outpatient Psychiatry Departments at Montefiore and Columbia Medical Centers.
