About Dr. Shapiro

A psychologist who genuinely loves this work

Welcome — I'm so glad you found your way here. You're probably searching for answers and support for yourself or someone you love, and I want you to know: you're in the right place.

I am a licensed psychologist, board certified in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (ABPP), specializing in neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations, based in Guilford, Connecticut. I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in clinical psychology at Nova Southeastern University and completed my internship at Florida State University's Multidisciplinary Evaluation and Consulting Center.

I am trained and research-reliable in administering the ADOS-2 — the gold standard of autism assessment. But I also know that the ADOS-2 alone isn't always enough, particularly for girls, women, and individuals who have learned to mask their traits. When standard tools fall short, I handpick additional measures designed to capture what standardized tests miss.

As a mother of two young girls, I understand firsthand the joy and the worry that comes with parenting — and I bring that perspective to every family I work with.

I serve families from Guilford, Madison, Branford, Old Saybrook, Clinton, and across the Connecticut Shoreline — in person at my Guilford office, and virtually for components that don't require hands-on testing.
