Dr. Nechama Sorscher has over three decades of experience working with patients with neurocognitive challenges, both as an evaluator and a psychodynamic therapist. As a leading specialist in New York City, she combines a sophisticated understanding of the neurobiological makeup of these individuals with a nuanced appreciation for the emotional sequelae that come with each diagnosis.
She obtained her PhD in clinical psychology from Adelphi University in 1992 and a certificate in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy from NYU’s Postdoctoral Program of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in 2016. She has published many articles in top flight academic journals on neurocognitive challenges, trauma, and working with neurodiversechildren and adolescents.
Dr. Sorscher has two new books including Assessment and Intervention with Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Neurocognitive Challenges: A Psychodynamic Perspective available now published by Littlefield, Roman, which delineates how to best work with neurodiverse individuals in therapy and Your Neurodiverse Child: How to Help Kids with Learning, Attention, and Neurocognitive Challenges Thrive for working with neurodiverse children at home and in school, available on Amazon.
In this episode, Dr. Sorscher dispels common myths about children and adults on the attention deficit spectrum and provides insights on how to navigate and support neurodivergent individuals.
