Amy Pacos

Whether you are looking for help with parenting challenges, relationship issues, or ways to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday life stressors, choosing a therapist is an important decision. I have found that when clients feel secure, valued, and understood in the therapeutic relationship, exploration and resolution of difficult life experiences or painful emotions becomes possible. My office is conveniently located in the Ballston area of Arlington, VA, accessible from routes 50, 66, 120, and 395, as well as the Ballston metro station. Ample parking is available.

I am an experienced clinical psychologist who works with individuals of all ages (ages 3-80+). I utilize an individualized and tailored therapeutic approach aimed at providing genuine understanding and real life change. In addition to my private practice, I have extensive experience working in hospitals, outpatient medical centers, schools, private practice, and within several government agencies.

In addition to therapy services, I also provide assessment services for children, adolescents, adults, and elderly populations. I offer psychological, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological evaluations to address a variety of clinical and emotional concerns (e.g. depression, behavioral challenges, academic difficulty, ADHD, memory concerns, and specific neurological conditions). Please view my website(www.clinicalneuropsychology

services.com) for additional information about the assessment services that are available.

In regard to my training, I obtained a Master's and Doctoral degree (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology and I am presently licensed to practice in the District of Columbia and Virginia. I have also completed a formal two year fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology and specialize in neuropsychological assessment and consultation. For additional information about my background, please refer to my practice website.
