Meet Dr. Major

Understanding the Whole Person. Supporting Growth, Healing, and Self-Discovery.

Every person has a unique story, shaped by their experiences, relationships, challenges, strengths, and the way they understand the world.

Dr. Major is a psychologist and behavior analyst whose work brings together psychological assessment, education, therapeutic support, and a deeper exploration of personal growth and well-being. She works with children, adolescents, adults, and families, helping them better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful support begins with understanding the whole person. Whether a family is seeking answers about their child's learning and development, an adult is working through a difficult life transition, or someone is looking for a more reflective and holistic approach to personal growth, Dr. Major provides a thoughtful, compassionate, and individualized experience.

Her practice brings together four areas of expertise, allowing clients to find the support that best meets their needs.

School Psychology, Psychological Assessment & Diagnosis

Understanding How We Learn, Think, and Develop

Every child learns and develops differently. When difficulties emerge in school, at home, or in everyday life, understanding what is happening beneath the surface can make all the difference.

Dr. Major provides comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessments to help identify learning differences, developmental concerns, cognitive strengths and challenges, attention difficulties, and social-emotional needs.

Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, her evaluations aim to develop a fuller picture of the individual, recognizing both areas of difficulty and the strengths that can support future success.

Areas of assessment and evaluation include:

• Cognitive and intellectual functioning
• Learning disabilities and academic achievement
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Executive functioning, memory, and processing skills
• Developmental and neurodevelopmental differences
• Emotional, social, and behavioral functioning
• School readiness and educational planning
• Diagnostic clarification and recommendations for support

Dr. Major works collaboratively with parents, educators, and other professionals to translate assessment findings into practical recommendations that can support learning, development, and everyday functioning.

The goal is not simply to identify what is difficult, but to understand why, recognize what is possible, and create a clearer path forward.

Autism Specialist

Seeing the Individual Beyond the Diagnosis

Autism is not a single experience. Every autistic individual brings a unique combination of abilities, needs, ways of communicating, and ways of experiencing the world.

Dr. Major offers specialized support in understanding autism across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Her work focuses on identifying individual strengths, understanding developmental and behavioral differences, and helping individuals and families access the support and accommodations that best fit their needs.

Her approach is individualized, respectful of neurodiversity, and informed by an understanding that autism can present differently across individuals and stages of life.

Areas of focus include:

• Autism assessment and diagnostic evaluation
• Developmental and social communication differences
• Sensory processing and emotional regulation
• Social understanding and relationship development
• Executive functioning and adaptive living skills
• Co-occurring anxiety, ADHD, and learning challenges
• Parent guidance and family support
• Educational accommodations and school collaboration
• Understanding autism in adolescents and adults
• Supporting transitions, independence, and quality of life

For families seeking answers, a diagnosis can provide clarity and direction. For adolescents and adults, gaining a better understanding of their neurodevelopmental differences can also be an important part of developing self-awareness, confidence, and self-acceptance.

Dr. Major's work recognizes that the objective is not to change who someone is, but to help them better understand themselves and develop the tools, relationships, and environments in which they can thrive.

Therapy & Counseling

A Space to Heal, Grow, and Navigate Life

Life presents challenges that can affect how we feel, think, relate to others, and see ourselves. At times, we need a supportive space to make sense of our experiences, work through difficult emotions, and find new ways of moving forward.

Dr. Major provides psychological counseling and therapeutic support for children, adolescents, and adults. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and responsive to each person's circumstances, goals, and stage of life.

Therapy is not only for moments of crisis. It can also be a valuable opportunity to strengthen emotional well-being, develop healthier relationships, build resilience, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Areas of therapeutic support include:

• Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
• Depression, sadness, and changes in mood
• OCD
• Grief, loss, and significant life transitions
• Trauma and difficult life experiences
• Self-esteem, identity, and self-confidence
• Emotional regulation and coping strategies
• Relationship difficulties and interpersonal challenges
• Parenting, family dynamics, and communication
• Childhood and adolescent emotional or behavioral concerns
• School stress, peer relationships, and adjustment difficulties
• Adult life transitions, personal relationships, and work-related stress
• Burnout, boundaries, and finding greater balance
• Personal growth, resilience, and emotional well-being

For children and adolescents, therapy can help them develop the emotional language, coping skills, and confidence to navigate developmental challenges while supporting parents in understanding and responding to their needs.

For adults, therapy provides a confidential space to explore the experiences, patterns, relationships, and emotions that influence everyday life. Whether facing a specific concern or seeking greater clarity and fulfillment, clients are supported in finding approaches that feel meaningful and sustainable.

At the heart of her therapeutic work is the belief that people have the capacity for change, and that meaningful progress grows through understanding, connection, and the opportunity to explore new possibilities.

Reflective, Holistic & Integrative Psychotherapy

Exploring the Deeper Dimensions of Self

For some individuals, the journey toward well-being extends beyond addressing symptoms or solving immediate problems. It involves deeper questions about identity, purpose, relationships, meaning, and how we experience ourselves within the world.

For clients drawn to a more reflective, holistic, or esoteric approach, Dr. Major offers a therapeutic space that welcomes curiosity, introspection, and exploration of the deeper dimensions of human experience.

This approach recognizes the relationship between mind, body, emotions, personal history, values, and spirituality. It creates room to explore not only what is happening in one's life, but also the patterns, beliefs, and inner experiences that may give those events meaning.

Areas of exploration may include:

• Self-discovery, identity, and personal transformation
• Finding meaning, purpose, and direction
• Mindfulness, self-awareness, and inner reflection
• Exploring recurring emotional and relationship patterns
• The influence of childhood experiences and deeply held beliefs
• Personal values, intuition, and inner wisdom
• The relationship between mind, body, and emotional well-being
• Spirituality, existential questions, and personal beliefs
• Dreams, symbols, and personal narratives as opportunities for reflection
• Life transitions, acceptance, and the search for greater authenticity
• Developing a more compassionate and connected relationship with oneself

This work may draw upon reflective, mindfulness-based, existential, and other integrative therapeutic approaches, while remaining grounded in psychological understanding and professional ethics.

Dr. Major respects that clients may understand their experiences through different cultural, philosophical, or spiritual perspectives. These perspectives can be explored thoughtfully and without judgment, as part of the client's own journey of understanding and growth.

Finding the Right Support for You

Whether you are seeking a comprehensive psychological evaluation, guidance in understanding autism, therapeutic support for yourself or a family member, or a deeper exploration of your personal journey, Dr. Major's work begins with listening.

Each individual brings different experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. Her commitment is to provide a respectful and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to participate in their own growth and well-being.

Understanding creates possibilities. And sometimes, the most meaningful change begins with seeing ourselves, or those we love, in a new way.
