Dr. Brittany Bell, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist (CA PSY 34346)
Dr. Brittany Bell is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience conducting neuropsychological assessments across the lifespan. She specializes in evaluating adults and women who have often been overlooked by conventional diagnostic approaches.
Her practice is built on the understanding that ADHD and autism present differently across genders, and that many of her clients arrive having spent years being told they were too smart, too sensitive, or just anxious. She knows how to look deeper.
A neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed approach
Dr. Bell's approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, which means your evaluation is never about what is wrong with you. It is about understanding how your brain works and helping you build a life that works with it.
"Answers don't change who you are. They change how you understand yourself."
