Dr. Gale specializes in providing psychological and neuropsychological assessment for infants, children, adolescents, and adults with a wide variety of presenting problems, including Autism, Asperger’s Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning difficulties, communication problems, depression, anxiety, dementia, and behavioral disorders. She also specializes in working with families who are seeking a deeming waiver (DM-6A or Katie Beckett) and provides comprehensive psychological evaluations for these children with disabilities. Dr. Gale’s comprehensive evaluations are extremely helpful in that each report includes specific, client-tailored recommendations for improvement in their area of difficulty.

Dr. Gale sees children and adolescents for individual and family therapy as well as social skills training. Her perspective includes Positive Youth Development approach, which views individuals as “assets to be developed, not problems to be managed.” She believes that by increasing the protective factors and decreasing risk factors, they are equipped to live as thriving adults. Additionally, she provides interpersonal solution-focused therapy, specifically parent training, and pre-marital counseling. Many clients find her additional training in the integration of theology and psychology helpful when they are seeking a spiritual perspective on their issues.
