About Dr. Julie Crimmins

I believe every individual has a unique story. Understanding how someone thinks, learns, communicates, and experiences the world is the first step toward providing meaningful support. Neuropsychological evaluation is not just about identifying areas of difficulty; it is about gaining a deeper understanding of an individual’s unique way of navigating the world.

​

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in pediatric neuropsychological evaluation. I earned my Doctorate in Psychology from William James College and received specialized postdoctoral training in neuropsychological assessment. I have dedicated my career to understanding the complex relationships among cognitive functioning, learning, behavior, and emotional well-being.

​

In addition to my private practice, I serve as a staff neuropsychologist at Mass General Brigham Salem Hospital in Massachusetts, where I provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. I evaluate a wide range of concerns, including attention and executive functioning difficulties, learning differences, autism spectrum concerns, twice-exceptionality, and emotional and behavioral functioning. I also supervise MGB postdoctoral fellows, supporting the clinical training and professional development of future neuropsychologists.

​

Throughout my career, I have collaborated extensively with school systems to provide neuropsychological evaluations for students being considered for special education services. This work has given me a deep understanding of how neuropsychological assessment can inform effective educational planning.

 

My approach to evaluation is thoughtful, collaborative, and strengths-based. I recognize that seeking a neuropsychological evaluation is often an important decision for families and may come after years of questions or uncertainty. Whether families are seeking diagnostic clarification, trying to better understand a child’s learning profile, or looking for guidance on how to best support their child’s development, my goal is to create an evaluation experience that feels supportive, informative, and empowering.

​

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children. My experiences as a parent have reinforced my belief that every child has a unique way of learning, communicating, and navigating the world. Parenting a twice-exceptional child has deepened my appreciation for the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the whole child, including their abilities, experiences, and the unique ways they learn and experience the world.
