Healthy Psychology
Dr. Kathy Thomas
My goal is to bring you help, hope and healing to others so that your life can be enjoyed to its fullest extent.
Neuropsychology is a subspecialty of psychology. It specializes in providing clarity as to how well your brain is working. The evaluation is comprehensive and is accomplished in part using evidence-based measures that will determine or clarify a diagnosis as well as identify your cognitive (thinking) strengths and weaknesses. You will feel a greater sense of control and hope moving forward. I also provide therapy services to individuals, couples and families. My specialties include depression, anxiety, managing chronic illness, developmental disorders, disability, complex grief, and trauma recovery.
I am a licensed psychologist in Oregon state and a board-certified neuropsychologist. I specialize in the assessment and treatment of conditions that affect both brain and body across the lifespan such as trauma, depression, post-traumatic stress, chronic illness, brain injury, depression, ADHD, anxiety, autism and learning disabilities.
Peace of mind and a restoration of health often requires an exploration of how the mind, body and soul together may be influencing the way a person is thinking, feeling and making choices. Together we will work on the restoration of your mental health and wellness by using an individualized therapeutic
approach and treatment plan.
I offer neuropsychological evaluations in order to provide insight, information and clarification of a diagnosis. This includes ruling out conditions that masquerade as ADHD, which can be easily misdiagnosed without a comprehensive evaluation. I do not prescribe medications but will work with your referring provider, and/or will guide you toward treatment options and available resources based on your individual need.
If you are seeking therapy with me, expect that it will involve a combination of evidenced-based treatment methods that are timely and effective such as (but not limited to) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). ≈ Services are available
on a sliding scale, if needed.
My past roles include directorship of Pediatric Neuropsychology Services for Banner Medical Group in Phoenix, Arizona, past-president of the Arizona Neuropsychological Society and associate professorship at the University of Arizona Medical School. In addition to meeting with individual clients and couples, I enjoy teaching graduate courses and doing volunteer work.
