Georgetown Psychology

Evaluation & Therapy Services For Children, Teens & Adults

Maria Zimmitti, Ph.D., President and Clinical Director of Georgetown Psychology, and her team of experienced clinicians truly offer a team approach to the assessment and treatment of children, teens, and adults. Our multidisciplinary group consists of licensed psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. We focus on helping students, families, and their teachers understand how the students are able to overcome those learning boundaries, and set strategies to build on the strengths and challenges of the individual.

Georgetown Psychology has three locations: Georgetown, DC; Bethesda, MD; McLean, VA. In addition to providing services to individuals in the DC Metro area, we work closely with families living abroad or relocating to the U.S.

At Georgetown Psychology, our educational testing and assessments serve students in grades K-12, as well as young children; college and graduate students, young adults and adults. We offer a wide variety of services for individuals, couples, children, and families. To accommodate out of state/country clients we do offer Skype services as well. We believe that communication and collaboration are essential to effective treatment.

Families and students can contact our staff to determine whether our services could be of use and to schedule and initial consultation with our staff.

The Yellin Center For Mind, Brain, and Education

May 26, 2015

Paul B. Yellin, M.D., FAAP and his team of experienced clinicians at The Yelling Center help struggling students experience genuine success in school and in life. Our interdisciplinary assessments help define a student’s unique learning profile to create an individual action plan for academic improvement. We help students, their families, and their teachers understand how students learn and to implement strategies to build on strengths and meet challenges. We also work with professionals in education and other fields to share emerging knowledge and practices in the study of learning and the practice of assessment.

The Yellin Center is located in the heart of New York City. Families from five continents, fifteen countries, and from across the United States have worked with our center since its inception.

At The Yellin Center, our assessment and management programs serve students in grades K-12, as well as young children; college, graduate students; and young adults. Dr. Yellin also works extensively with medical students, resident physicians, and faculty from schools across the nation to improve their performance, meet the expectations of their supervisors, and pass key exams leading to licensure. The Yellin Center is affiliated with the NYU School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, and is a training site for its Developmental-Behavioral Pediatric Fellowship Program. Dr. Yellin and his team are engaged in ongoing training of faculty and staff at a number of schools and work with foundations and nonprofits in projects designed to transform how students learn. Dr. Yellin is also a frequent speaker to parent groups and other organizations.

In response to the needs of the families seen at The Yellin Center, Dr. Yellin recruited his wife, Susan, an attorney with extensive experience in education law, to assist families in working with schools and obtaining needed services. Susan Yellin, Esq., c0-author of Life After High School: A Guide for Students with Disabilities and Their Families, also provides consultations with students who are coming to the end of their high school years and contemplating additional education or employment.

Families and students can contact our administrative staff to determine whether our services could be helpful and to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Yellin.

Pia Wikstrom, Ph.D.

November 30, 2010

Dr. Pia Wikstrom is a licensed Speech–Language Pathologist and a Developmental Psychologist with a private practice on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. She holds a Master’s degree in Speech & Language Pathology and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in Psychology specializing in development of cognition and language.

Her research has spanned the areas of 1) development of language and communication in autistic children, and 2) relationships among developments in language & communication, play behaviors, and affect.

Dr. Wikstrom established her private practice in 1989. Her clinical specialties include diagnosis and treatment of communication delays & disorders and their relationship to learning and behavior in young children. Additionally, Dr. Wikstrom was an adjunct professor at SUNY, Ithaca College, and Hofstra University.

Services:

Dr. Wikstrom emphasizes treatment of the identified areas of difficulties in relation to the whole child. The reason for this is that communication skills interact and are at times highly synchronized with developments in psychological areas including cognition, play, emotions and affect. Family involvement is integral to her intervention. Consultations and direct training with Dr. Wikstrom allow parents to acquire an intimate understanding of their child’s difficulty, and learn how to help develop her/his skills at home.

Dr. Wikstrom offers diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of communication and cognitive delays and disorders including:

Delays in development of language, speech, play, and learning skills in young children as young as 17 months.
Word retrieval and language organizational issues impacting communication, writing and learning skills in school age children and adolescents.
Auditory processing disorders impacting communication, learning, reading and other academic skills in children and adolescents.
Language processing and comprehension disorders impacting communication, learning, reading and other academic skills.
Oral–motor issues impacting development of clarity of speech and language
