Dr. FitzGerald has worked extensively within public and private schools supporting students with learning differences in regular and special education classrooms and college/university settings. She has expertise in helping families make informed decisions about educational placements and how to design a learning environment where their child can experience success and thrive as a student.

One of Dr. FitzGerald’s professional passions is supporting individuals and families who are seeking new tools and support as they navigate a challenging diagnosis or major life transition, such as high school, college, independent adult life, or to walk alongside parents raising a neurodiverse child.

While she draws upon a range of therapeutic modalities and techniques to provide the most effective treatment for each client, the core of Dr. FitzGerald’s practice is founded on active listening, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and an integrated approach to wellbeing through caring for the mind, body, and by connecting to something greater than oneself.
