DR. AMBLER
Welcome
I am a pediatric neuropsychologist, licensed clinical psychologist, and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). I offer a personalized approach to neuropsychological assessments for children and young adults, covering mental health, learning differences, and cognitive issues.
I maintain a private practice and am employed at Stanford Medicine, Children's Health, where I see Stanford patients and assess the neuropsychological effects of medical conditions.
In my private practice, I see clients with learning difficulties, autism, anxiety, emotional disorders, and developmental disorders. I also provide neutral support for individuals, families, and schools.
Please reach out to see if I am a good fit for your needs. Warmly, Christian

My Goal
I aim to help you feel more empowered and aware of your strengths. I achieve this by offering a neutral, safe space, active listening, and creating a personalized neuropsychology treatment plan.
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
What is Neuropsychology?

A neuropsychologist has extensive knowledge of the brain-behavior relationship, including neurocognitive functioning, neuroanatomy, neurological illness and injury, neurodevelopment, neuropsychological tests, emotional disorders, behavioral disturbances, and the management/treatment of individuals with impairments.
