Noel Maurizi, Psy.D

PSYCHOLOGIST

I received my doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University in 2023 and completed my doctoral internship at George Mason University's student counseling center. Additionally, I completed my master's degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Slippery Rock University in 2018 and received my undergraduate degree in Social Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 2015.

I have mostly trained and worked in university counseling centers, but I also have experience in medical clinics and inpatient psychiatric units. As a graduate student, I have received a nationally funded grant to provide mental health services to female-identified adolescents in a medical setting and my research has focused on the prevention of sexual assault on college campuses. These various opportunities have given me a range of experience and knowledge; however, my primary interest has always been in psychotherapy and assessment.

I operate from a psychodynamic-interpersonal perspective and utilize relational-cultural and feminist frameworks to explore how our identities and experiences have been influenced by the environments and systems we exist in. My areas of interest include working with concerns related to identity development, late adolescence and emergent adulthood, interpersonal concerns, family of origin trauma, and women's issues.

I also complete a variety of assessments and evaluations for personality, mood, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, autism spectrum disorder, employment, and surgical procedures. I also complete ACT 235 evaluations for police officers. I can help you answer lingering questions, clarify a diagnosis, and make recommendations for treatment and possible accommodations. I currently do not complete neuropsychological evaluations, including the neurological component of ADHD testing; rather I use behavioral rating scales, a semi-structured interview process, and collateral data to inform diagnosis.

Outside of work I enjoy being with my friends, family, and spouse, and our St. Bernard/English mastiff dog, Freya, and Orange Tabby cat, Jax. I am very into wine, eating pasta, motorcycle rides, anything Addams family, and laughter 😊
