Child Psychologist | Autism, ADHD & Learning Evaluations | Catherine Flaherty, PhD

Welcome!

I’m Catherine Flaherty, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I specialize in understanding the whole child — their thinking, learning, social development, and emotional wellbeing— so families can move forward with insight and purpose.

I work closely with parents, schools, and physicians to answer important questions such as:

  • Why is my child struggling in school or with attention?

  • Why are social interactions challenging?

  • My child seems so bright, why don’t they follow directions?

  • Could this be autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or another developmental difference?

  • What supports will actually help my child thrive?

    I provide thoughtful, individualized support to help children and families better understand what’s going on and what to do next.

    • Evaluations
      Comprehensive assessments that clarify learning, attention, social, emotional, and developmental differences, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.

    • Therapy & Social Skills Support
      Individual therapy focused on emotional regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, and social development, tailored to each child’s needs.

    • Parent Consultation
      Collaborative guidance to help parents support their child at home, navigate school systems, and advocate with confidence.
