Darrell Walters, PhD, LMFT

Dr. Darrell is a neuropsychologist with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults. His treatment approach is informed by the latest research in neuroscience, psychological theories and developmental perspectives. He is passionate about identifying root issues and believes healing occurs through genuine, authentic connection.

Dr. Darrell has clinical expertise in neurodevelopmental and life-adjustment challenges, including executive functioning and regulation-related issues like ADHD and Autism. Other areas of specialization include giftedness and learning disabilities, self-esteem and motivation, oppositional behaviors, tic-related issues, moodiness, anxiety and OCD.

In addition to psychotherapy, Dr. Darrell provides comprehensive neuropsychological assessments to help determine the cause of observed struggles, and identify strengths and adaptive characteristics within your child. Dr. Darrell’s philosophy is to provide the most comprehensive and detailed report in order to capture a complete profile of how your child learns, thinks, processes information and responds to his or her environment. His goal is to help parents, teachers and other professionals understand your child better. Specific recommendations within the report create a blueprint that will assist all those involved to work together as a team. This kind of evaluation can be invaluable in helping your child, providing essential insights for early interventions and accommodations and giving them the confidence, knowledge, and supports necessary to thrive. Dr. Darrell strives to make the experience as enjoyable, safe, and comfortable as possible to help your child perform at their best while making it challenging and productive.
