Brooklyn MindSpring Information

Brooklyn MindSpring was founded by Charissa Andreotti, Ph.D., a licensed clinical neuropsychologist in New York. She completed an APA-approved internship at Yale University School of Medicine with a specialization in neuropsychology and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She is trained in the empirically supported assessment and treatment of children and adults, including comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, cognitive behavioral therapy, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (tf-CBT), and mindfulness techniques. Prior to founding Brooklyn MindSpring, Dr. Andreotti managed the clinical research program for the Child Mind Institute's Healthy Brain Network, which aims to apply big data and open science approaches to the search for biomarkers in mental illness. As part of this project, the Healthy Brain Network provides no-cost mental health and learning evaluations to thousands of children from diverse NYC communities. At BK MindSpring we strongly believe in using evidence-based methods for assessment and intervention. Our team of clinicians have received extensive training in both scientifically validated diagnostic measures as well as therapeutic techniques proven successful in randomized controlled trials. This research-heavy approach greatly increases accuracy in diagnosis and maximizes treatment outcomes. When possible, we even partner with ongoing research studies to stay apprised of and contribute to advances in the field! Currently, we offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parent management training, and social skills coaching using a concierge model.
