Audra Walsh Psychology Group

Creating nurturing environments for children to develop and thrive involves both science and art and is increasingly difficult in today's evolving landscape of academic, social, and technological pressures experienced by both kids and parents alike. I aim to provide state-of-the-science psychological and behavioral evaluation and deliver individualized treatment programs to promote the psychosocia

l, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral well-being of young people. I am a Licensed Psychologist, an Infant and Toddler Developmental Specialist, a special educator, and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I have over a decade of experience working with youth and families in a variety of settings including homes, clinics, and schools. I earned a Doctorate in School Psychology with a specialization in Pediatric Psychology from the University of South Florida, as well as a Masters in Special Education from Hunter College (CUNY) with a focus on Specific Learning Disabilities and a special interest in Autism Spectrum Disorders. My experience includes conducting evaluations such as developmental, gifted, academic, behavioral, and mental health assessments, facilitating parent trainings and providing home-based caregiver coaching and support, and conducting evidence-based therapies including ABA services, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and individual and family therapy. I have worked with children and families with diverse needs and abilities, from those with typical development to children with exceptionalities including developmental delays, learning difficulties, executive functioning and attention deficits, challenging behaviors, mental health problems, chronic health conditions, and giftedness. I've authored several publications in the field of pediatric psychology, recently having co-authored a book entitled "Evidence-Based Interventions for Children with Challenging Behavior" - published by Springer and available on Amazon.com. Petersburg, Florida, I am a wife and mother of two. I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
