Dr. Snider is a licensed psychologist with specialized training in clinical neuropsychology and clinical psychology. She is qualified to treat individuals diagnosed with a variety of medical conditions including chronic mental health conditions.
During her training, she developed a particular interest in working with adults coping with neurological and/or additional chronic health conditions. It is not uncommon for these individuals to experience depression, anxiety, decreased self-confidence, grief, loss of identity, relationship/social concerns, and adjustment difficulties.
Difficulties in thinking ability may also occur in some individuals with neurological/medical concerns. Memory, processing speed, attention/concentration, communication, problem solving, and judgment may be impacted.
Such emotional and cognitive concerns have a high potential for negatively impacting a person's overall health, quality of life, ability to perform daily activities, and maintain employment.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:
Dr. Snider recognizes that therapy and assessment require not only an understanding of mental health concerns, but also specific knowledge of neurological/chronic medical conditions and how they impact a person's mental health. Her techniques are flexible and are guided by factors such as her client's health, goals, strengths and weaknesses, experiences, and level of social support. Because each client is unique, Dr. Snider applies tailored techniques to help enhance her clients' overall quality of life.
