C. Zoë Cuddy
PsyD BCBA-D LBA
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified licensed behavior analyst with over 20 years of experience evaluating and treating children and adolescents with a wide range of presenting problems, diagnoses and needs.
With both clinical and behavioral expertise, I am uniquely skilled at reinforcing effort, maintaining motivation, and gaining compliance during testing. My behavioral expertise allows me to both assess and treat the myriad ways in which behavior is a direct expression of a child’s learning profile and unique set of strengths and weaknesses.
My goal is to offer a comprehensive evaluation that encompasses the cognitive, academic, neuropsychological, social-emotional and behavioral profile and needs of each child. This includes ensuring that each student is either provided with the specific accommodations they require in their current setting, or placed in a carefully selected one (mainstream or specialized) where they can thrive and reach their full potential.
Additionally, I provide supportive psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy for my clients, and work closely with parents to ensure positive outcomes are carried over to home and other environments.
