Rebecca West

As a compassionate and dedicated clinical psychologist licensed in Tennessee, I bring 12 years of experience supporting individuals with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative challenges. My expertise spans evidence-based clinical and assessment approaches, including those with foundations in neuropsychology and forensic psychology. I am deeply committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all clients, with a particular passion for working with neurodivergent individuals. My personal values of genuineness, openness, and compassion guide my practice, enabling me to build strong connections and provide effective support to those I serve.

My passion for working with neurodivergent individuals is both personal and professional. As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I have a deep understanding of the unique strengths and challenges they face. I am continually inspired by the diverse ways neurodivergent individuals think, perceive the world, and express themselves. I believe that by collaborating with clients and their families, we can unlock their full potential and help them achieve their goals.

As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I embrace an affirming and strengths-based approach by celebrating my child's unique neurology. I prioritize understanding and appreciating their individual differences, focusing on their strengths and interests rather than deficits. By fostering a supportive and accepting environment, I empower my child to develop self-awareness, self-advocacy skills, and a positive sense of self. This approach guides my professional interactions, helping me to tailor communication, set realistic expectations, and collaborate to find solutions that work for them.
