David Raffle, PhD, HSPP
Neuropsychological & Psychoeducational Testing
Individual and Group Psychotherapy
Dr. David L. Raffle provides cognitive-based, client-centered psychotherapy. In a caring, protective and accepting atmosphere, individuals feel empowered to explore their own pathways toward self-discovery, positive personal growth, and self-healing. Therapy works because it creates resiliency – the mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility to successfully adjust to and cope with life's challenges and adversities. When we better understand the workings of our brains, we gain greater control over our lives, our futures, and our happiness.
Dr. Raffle also performs psychological, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological testing for children, adolescents, adults, and elderly patients. For children and adolescents, testing is needed for classroom accommodations, special education services, and accommodations on standardized testing (SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, etc.). For adults, testing is used in forensic/legal cases, workplace accommodations, and Social Security Disability benefits. For elderly individuals, testing determines the presence and severity of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, and provides guidelines for caregivers.
Education/Training
Dr. Raffle has a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University, and Masters degrees in both Psychology and Special Education. He is a Certified Brain Injury Specialist who has logged over 4,000 hours working directly with individuals with brain injuries.
