Dr. Grace Mucci

Grace A. Mucci, PhD, MS, ABPdN, ABPP

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with Board Certifications in Pediatric Neuropsychology and Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, bringing over 30 years of experience to my work with children, teenagers, and adults.

My primary focus is the evaluation of children and adolescents with suspected or known neurodevelopmental or neurocognitive disorders. I have extensive experience with conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, learning disabilities, epilepsy, encephalitis, traumatic brain injury, and neurocognitive late effects from childhood brain tumors, leukemia, and other cancers.

In addition to neuropsychological assessments, I offer psychotherapeutic services to children and teens experiencing anxiety or depression, particularly when these concerns relate to learning or attention difficulties.
