Welcome to the website of Dr. Dorothée L. Serpas.
My private practice provides neuropsychological and other evaluations
for children, adolescents, and adults.
I specialize in learning differences,
ADD/ADHD, and Executive Functioning
issues. I have been in Private Practice in the Salt Lake Valley
since 1996.
My
philosophy and my practice represent a paradigm shift away from
pathologizing brain differences and towards an appreciation of
Neurodiversity. While
the diagnostic aspects of my specialty remain very important, I strive
to help all kinds of minds learn, adapt, accept, grow,
& thrive. Brains like fingerprints are all different. Our brains all have basically the same components, but our neurodevelopmental profiles, or what I have coined, BrainBows, are all unique and have value.
My
in-depth testing sessions combine scientifically-based assessment
methods with a compassionate attitude. I will make your
child feel at ease and encourage them to rise up to their challenges
and build on their strengths. My evaluation process not only helps to
identify the root causes
of learning differences and a student's unique learning profile, but also
provides effective strategies and skills for a better path forward.
I am available to consult with not only parents, but teachers,
physicians, therapists, tutors, and the child so that we are all on the
same page and working towards the same end: understanding,
evaluation of treatment and therapeutic
interventions in a systematic manner, and empowerment for children and
families.

forward to meeting you in person and collaborating with you and your child.
