ABOUT
Our Approach
Approach
Dr. Krantz values working collaboratively with a family and their providers (e.g., psychiatrists, schools; teachers; remedial specialists) to address their child’s current and future needs. A primary goal of assessment is to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that incorporates evidence-based remedial interventions. When warranted, Dr. Krantz will follow a child over time and conduct re-evaluations as required.
Professional Training
Dr. Krantz obtained her Ph.D. in 1997 (PSY 16681). She then completed advanced specialty training in child assessment and adolescent medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Subsequently, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship with advanced specialty training in pediatric neuropsychological assessment at the Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI), a free-standing hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. KKI serves children with developmental disorders and complex medical conditions across the east coast and has a widespread partnership with the Johns Hopkins’ Medical Center. In addition, Dr. Krantz completed a post-doctoral fellowship in adult neuropsychology at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System.
