About Dr. Kessler.
A clinician who believes a diagnosis should open more doors than it closes.
Dr. Elena Kessler, PsyD
Elena trained to be the kind of psychologist she wanted to find: rigorous about the evidence, and plain about the conclusions. Her reports are read by clients before they are read by anyone else.
She works with adults only, and takes on a limited number of clients so every assessment and therapy client gets the same unhurried attention.

Years supporting graduate and undergraduate students through the diagnostic questions that campus life surfaces.
Private practice
Founded Kessler Psychological Services to keep assessment slow enough to be thorough and fast enough to be useful.
