About

Hello and welcome to my profile! I’m Dr. Esther Marron, a Board-Certified School Neuropsychologist and Licensed Psychologist licensed in California and Illinois, where I provide specialized, compassionate assessment services. My deepest passion as a provider is helping individuals of all ages unlock their potential, demystify their challenges, and find a clear, confident path forward.

Education & Licensure
Psy.D. in Clinical/School Psychology, New York University; M.A. in Educational Psychology/School Psychological Services, New York University; M.S.Ed. Education and Social Policy, Northwestern University; B.A. in Psychology, University of Chicago
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My journey into neurodiversity and assessment was shaped by a rich background in education—first as a classroom teacher in Chicago and New Jersey, and later as a university psychology professor and a school learning specialist in Los Angeles. These diverse experiences taught me firsthand how unique every person is, inspiring me to specialize in neurodiverse testing. Today, what drives me is the opportunity to bridge the gap between neuroscience and daily life, providing individuals with the warm, expert clarity they need to thrive.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe that an assessment should never be just a list of deficits or diagnostic labels; instead, it is a tool for empowerment. I bring a deeply compassionate, affirming, and strength-based approach to my work by focusing first on identifying and honoring your unique cognitive, emotional, and neurodevelopmental strengths. By understanding how your brain naturally thrives, we can build a personalized blueprint that leverages those innate assets to navigate and overcome life's hurdles. I view every individual through a lens of potential rather than limitation, ensuring that our work together feels collaborative, validating, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. My commitment is to help you see yourself not through the lens of what is "wrong," but with a clear, appreciative understanding of how to harness your unique mind to realize your full potential.
