Whether you have received my name as a personal referral or as a result of a web search, it is important that you feel assured that you are choosing the "right" person. I am a Penn graduate with 40 years of experience as a private practitioner, university professor, and director of special education services. My expertise in the neuropsychological aspects of learning earned me the 2018 award of Educator of the Year from the Learning Disability Association of America.
My blogs on neuropsychological assessment, psychotherapy, parenting, and emotional communication are informative and will give you an idea about how I will approach your issues. Dr Korner, I just wanted to thank you again for all the hard work you did with my family. I can't tell you how happy I am with everything you've done. I understand that this is your profession but it's so obvious how much you care about the kids and how much you enjoy your job.
You have really helped my children. During this crisis, my practice is open and I am accepting new patients.

I am currently able to conduct remote/virtual evaluations using most of the same instruments used for in-person assessments.
Please contact me to discuss how remote testing works and how to work with third parties i.e.
I provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations that focus on the identification of cognitive ability and executive functioning weaknesses as well as personality factors, all of which can interfere with and even paralyze students' attempts to learn.
By identifying the abilities that are the substrate of academic subjects, I can understand why certain of these subjects are challenging.

Academic subjects are really byproducts of cognitive processing abilities.
Difficulties in the processing areas that are necessary for success in specific subject areas raise the probability of problems in that subject.
Identification of the deficient processing abilities is the first step to understanding how to address academic problems.
Once these weaknesses are identified, then individualized or differentiated instructional strategies can be developed to target those areas.
Similarly, identification of executive functioning deficits-that is, those processes that regulate students' behavior, thinking, emotions, and access to their abilities-further helps to create a remediation plan that removes students' obstacles to success.

I have a wealth of experience in providing individual, family, and marital therapy.
My experience has taught me that approaches to talk therapy have to be tailored to each individual.
I usually combine elements of interpersonal and cognitive behavioral therapy as both are needed to make changes that are lasting.
While imparting strategies is fairly easy, getting them to work is more challenging.
I focus on the reasons very logical strategies do not work before implementing them.
This raises the probability of success.
