About
Hello and welcome! I'm so glad to see you here. My name is Rosi Albuquerque-Shain, but professionally referred to as Dr. A. I am a multicultural licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and a dedicated professional with a passion for understanding human behavior, promoting psychological well-being, and helping individuals reach their fullest potential. Originally from Brazil, I can bring a multicultural perspective to my work, recognizing the importance of cultural identity, diversity, and individual experiences in understanding mental health and human development. I am fluent in English and Portuguese and value culturally responsive psychological care, and I also try to understand how language, culture, and life experiences can influence the way individuals can learn, communicate, develop, and experience the world. I truly believe that every person has a unique story, and understanding that story is the first step toward meaningful growth and positive change. My professional interests include psychological evaluations, mainly the neurodevelopmental disorders. I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and elderly individuals. I have experience evaluating a range of disorders, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
My motivation for working and providing autism diagnostic impressions to adults stems from my experience working with children. I am passionate about fostering a space where individuals can find answers to their unique experiences, feeling valued and empowered. I do not see a diagnosis as a label, but a form of helping adults who went through their neurodevelopmental phase, adolescence years, and even a good part of their adult lives, trying to understand their behaviors.
My approach is to ensure that every single individual feels seen, valued, and empowered. We all possess unique strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to navigate challenges and achieve personal goals.
