Meredith Petruccelli

Meredith Petruccelli, a licensed psychologist with a PhD and expertise in various therapeutic modalities, specializes in working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families navigating the complexities of learning and emotional challenges. She commonly assists families in assessing their children's needs, whether related to academic struggles in school, preparation for private school admissions, or accommodations for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, or GRE. Meredith's goal is to develop a comprehensive profile of each child through careful psychoeducational evaluation, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. This allows families and educational institutions to provide the tailored support necessary for reaching their full potential. With a rich background as a parent, former educator, and child psychologist, she focuses on learning disabilities, attention disorders, developmental disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, emotional and behavioral challenges, and giftedness. Moreover, Meredith collaborates with school teams to design effective plans for students requiring specialized instruction or accommodations, ensuring a nurturing journey toward happy, healthy school experiences and life success. Her approach emphasizes a thorough, non-stressful psychoeducational evaluation as a crucial first step in this collaborative process.
