Dr. Kirsten Kuzirian, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, License # PSY26368
Specializing in Neurodevelopmental Evaluations & Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
With over 15 years of experience supporting children and families, I offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations that help parents truly understand their child's unique wiring. My approach honors all types of brains — recognizing that neurodivergent traits are differences to understand and support, not deficits to fix.
Areas of Expertise:
Comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments
ADHD and autism evaluations, including underrecognized presentations such as the female autism phenotype
Twice-exceptional (2e) and giftedness
Learning difference identification
Strengths-based evaluation reports
Practical recommendations that honor your child's unique brain
My Approach:
I believe every brain has its own constellation of strengths and challenges. Through thoughtful evaluation, we can illuminate your child's specific patterns and create supportive strategies that work with their wiring, not against it. My goal is to help you see your child clearly — and help them understand themselves with compassion. As the creator of Wide Awake Parenting, I bring both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to helping families move from confusion to clarity, from worry to understanding.
