Mollie Dee, Psy.D.

I have collaborated with WPA since 2015 as a dedicated, thoughtful, and easygoing evaluator (clients ages 6+). In the course of my training, I acquired a variety of clinical experiences in both therapy and assessment. This included work within private practice, school, in-patient, and community settings. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at The Women’s Center in Vienna, Virginia, and gained post-doctoral experience as a psychologist at a DC Public Charter High School. Prior to pursuing my doctoral degree, I spent many years working with children and adolescents with developmental delays and autistic young people. I had the great benefit of working with many wonderful professionals, both in formal training and as a part of clinical teams, whose treatment approaches range from Floortime and play therapy to structured cognitive behavioral work. These diverse experiences have added to the tools in my toolbox (so to speak) and allowed me to think flexibly about what interventions and approach are the best fit for the client or family I am working with.

I am passionate about assessment. While I relish my role as a clinical “detective,” I also put great emphasis on gaining an understanding of each individual’s strengths, needs, and challenges. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults and am adept at identifying learning profiles, emotional difficulties, and situational stressors, with a concerted focus on solutions. I feel that building a strong working rapport is an essential part of the evaluation process. I look forward to working with individuals and families facing developmental or academic challenges and am comfortable assisting in advocating for their needs (whether that be in identifying giftedness, planning emotional/behavioral supports, determining eligibility for an IEP, etc.).
