Dr Krista Greenfield

Neuropsychologist

“I specialize in the assessment of children and young adults.”

About Me

I help children and young adults understand their unique cognitive profiles. My Neuropsychology (Psy.D.) expertise focuses on comprehensive assessments. These reveal individual learning styles, strengths, and potential challenges. My process translates complex findings into clear, actionable recommendations. Families gain practical strategies, helping young people navigate school and life with greater confidence. This approach supports those seeking clarity about how their child learns best.

Approach

Specializing in evaluations for children and young adults, I run sessions that balance focused testing with plainspoken planning to make findings usable. In my Pasadena office I work in English, pacing appointments to reduce overwhelm and inviting parents into brief observation and goal-setting moments. Sessions combine structured tasks, conversational check-ins, and written summaries that translate results into small, doable steps for school and home; I often follow up with concise notes to support implementation. Families seeking a clear, practical roadmap tend to find this approach helpful.
