Hi, I’m Dr. Meredith Moersch. I’m a clinical neuropsychologist, mom of two, and founder of Palisades Neuropsychology.
I want our clients to walk away from the neuropsychological assessment process feeling excited about how their brain is wired and what we can do to support them.
Our excellent team of clinical neuropsychologists takes the time to get to know our clients and their experiences. We want work together to obtain the best possible outcomes.
I completed two postdoctoral fellowships. First, I was selected as The Help Group/UCLA Autism Alliance fellow, specializing in the assessment and treatment of children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Then, I was selected as the pediatric neuropsychology fellow at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior within the David Geffen School of Medicine, a two-year long fellowship program, specializing in assessing children and young adults with a range of neurocognitive, academic, social, medical, and emotional differences.
I have conducted individual, group, and family therapy in schools, medical centers, and community mental health centers. I work with an array of clinical presentations, including depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
I received my PsyD in clinical psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I then completed an APA accredited predoctoral internship at The Help Group, a nationally renowned non-profit organization dedicated to the assessment and treatment of children and young adults with neurodevelopmental and social-emotional differences. After my internship, I completed a year-long fellowship training specializing in assessment and treatment of children with ASD at The Help Group/UCLA Autism Alliance. I then completed a second, two year long fellowship program in pediatric neuropsychology at UCLA.I have published work on building social, emotional intelligence in school-aged children.
