A Personalized Approach to Pediatric Neuropsychology
Dr. Campbell's interest in neuropsychology began with a fascination for the relationship between the brain, behavior, and learning. Early in her career, she worked in neurorehabilitation and medical settings, helping individuals recover from neurological injuries and illnesses. Through both her professional experience and personal life, she witnessed how learning challenges, attention difficulties, and neurological conditions can affect not only the individual, but the entire family.
These experiences reinforced Dr. Campbell's belief in the importance of truly listening to families. Parents know their children best, yet they are sometimes left feeling unheard when advocating for concerns about their child's development, learning, behavior, or emotional well-being. Dr. Campbell believes that a thoughtful evaluation begins by listening carefully to those who know the child best and taking the time to understand the full picture.
Today, Dr. Campbell enjoys partnering with parents, educators, and healthcare providers to identify the "why" behind learning, attention, developmental, and emotional concerns so that children can receive meaningful support both at home and at school.

Why Dr. Campbell Became a Neuropsychologist
Dr. Campbell's passion for pediatric neuropsychology began long before graduate school. Growing up, she witnessed firsthand the profound impact that learning and neurological challenges can have on an entire family. One memory has remained with her throughout her life: sitting around the kitchen table late at night, watching someone she loved in tears over homework that seemed to take hours while everyone else had moved on with their evening. It was one of the first times she realized that what appears "easy" for one child can feel incredibly overwhelming for another.
She also watched her mother tirelessly advocate for her family when answers did not come easily. That experience instilled in Dr. Campbell a belief that continues to shape her practice today: parents know their children best, and every family deserves a provider who will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and partner with them throughout the evaluation process.
Today, Dr. Campbell is passionate about helping families understand the "why" behind their child's learning, attention, developmental, or emotional challenges. She believes that a comprehensive evaluation should do more than provide a diagnosis. It should help families better understand their child's unique strengths, identify areas of need, and provide a clear, practical roadmap for success at home, at school, and beyond.
Education and Expertise
Dr. Philomena Campbell earned her Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) with a specialization in Neuropsychology from Albizu University in Miami, Florida. Dr. Campbell’s pre-doctoral clinical training included psychoeducational evaluation, individual and group psychotherapy for children with developmental delays and Acquired Brain Injuries (ABIs), Neurorehabilitation for adults with Acquired Brain Injuries and Dementia, and Neuropsychological Screening and family support within inpatient Intensive Care Units (Trauma and Neuro ICUs). Additionally, Dr. Campbell conducted case study research on the benefits of technology in the psychological rehabilitation of a nonverbal patient, which was presented at the American Psychological Association Convention in 2015. Dr. Campbell’s doctoral dissertation examined the factors that affect hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning post-trauma. She also completed a pre-doctoral internship in Neuropsychology at Goodwill Neurorehabilitation in Portland, Maine. While there, she provided individual and group psychotherapy to adults with Acquired Brain Injuries, conducted Neuropsychological Evaluations with children, adolescents, and adults, performed intake assessments for the rehabilitation program, and ran a community support group for families of individuals with Acquired Brain Injuries.
Dr. Campbell then completed her two-year post-doctoral fellowship in Neuropsychology in Tampa, Florida. As a part of this fellowship, Dr. Campbell conducted Neuropsychological Evaluations of neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions effecting children, adolescents, and adults including epilepsy, concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), stroke, cancer, brain tumor, ADHD/ADD, ODD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), developmental and learning disabilities, and congenital defects that impact cognitive development and function. Dr. Campbell also trained to perform pre-surgical Wada evaluations and extra-operative language mapping for epilepsy patients being considered for surgical intervention.
Clinical Focus
Currently, Dr. Campbell maintains a focus in Neuropsychological Evaluation of children and adolescents with an array of neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, including, but not limited to: epilepsy, brain tumors, rare genetic conditions, Acquired Brain Injuries, and intellectual disabilities. Dr. Campbell also offers psychoeducational assessment (including ADHD and learning disabilities/dyslexia) and gifted testing.
Outside of the Office
Outside the office, Dr. Campbell enjoys spending time with her husband and their three children. Whether they're at the beach, exploring the aquarium, trying a new local restaurant, or spending time with friends, family and community remain at the center of their lives.
Dr. Campbell believes that raising children truly takes a village and is grateful to be part of such a supportive community. She enjoys volunteering at her children's school and values the opportunity to both live and serve in the same community she calls home.
