About Dr. Jessica Hasson's Specialization

I am a licensed psychologist in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. I have an MA and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. I completed my undergraduate work at Brandeis University, where I had a triple major in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Currently, I work in private practice but I have been a core faculty member at an APA-accredited clinical psychology doctoral program in the past. My current specializations include psychological evaluations, psychoeducational evaluations, and forensic evaluations.

I conduct assessments and provide workshops on assessment for licensed psychologists in Maryland and beyond, including for universities, psychological associations, state hospitals, and attorneys.
