Clinical Services
Clinical Services: Therapy for Children, Teens & Adults in Boca Raton and Telehealth
Every child, teen, and adult is more than a diagnosis. Dr. Marnee’s work is built on a bio-psycho-social approach, informed by her training in neuropsychology and development. She looks at how the brain develops and learns, how thoughts and emotions shape behavior, and how family, school, and relationships fit together. That full picture guides a treatment plan built for your child and your family.
Treatment draws on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Theory, Family Systems Theory, and mindfulness, tailored to each person’s age and developmental stage.
Anxiety and perfectionism
For children, teens, and adults whose worry, fear of mistakes, or need to get everything “just right” is costing them sleep, friendships, joy, or hours of homework time. Treatment builds the skills to face uncertainty and imperfection rather than avoid them.
School avoidance and refusal
When a child can’t get out of the car, calls home every day, or has missed more school than anyone expected, early action matters. Dr. Marnee works with the child, the parents, and the school together to build a step-by-step plan back to the classroom.
ADHD and learning differences
Bright children and teens often struggle when attention, organization, or learning challenges get in the way. Dr. Marnee helps families understand how their child’s brain works, then builds practical strategies for home and school, including support with executive functioning skills like planning, organization, and time management. She also coordinates with teachers and learning specialists so everyone is working from the same plan.
Cognitive remediation
Cognitive remediation is structured, targeted work to strengthen specific thinking skills such as attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning. It’s often recommended after an evaluation identifies areas of weakness, or following a medical or neurological event that affected how a child learns and thinks. Dr. Marnee’s neuropsychological training allows her to design this work around each person’s specific profile.
Teens and college students
Adolescence and the move to college bring new pressure and new independence. Dr. Marnee helps teens and young adults manage anxiety, stress, perfectionism, and the demands of competitive academic environments.
Care that follows your student. Dr. Marnee is PSYPACT-authorized, so students can continue sessions by telehealth while at school in any of more than 40 participating states, right through the transitions when support matters most.
Adults
Dr. Marnee also works with adults managing anxiety, perfectionism, stress, and life transitions, including parents whose own worries make it harder to support an anxious child.
Parent guidance
Parents are the most powerful force in a child’s progress. Dr. Marnee approaches parenting through the lens of attachment, strengthening family bonds while giving parents clear, age-appropriate tools, including when to comfort, when to encourage, and how to change well-meaning habits that can keep a child stuck. Parent sessions can stand alone or support a child’s treatment, and are available in person or by telehealth.
Support for families going through divorce
Divorce is hard on everyone, and children feel it in ways they can’t always put into words. Dr. Marnee can serve as part of a divorce team, providing emotional support and guidance to help parents and children through the transition.
Evaluations
When a child/teen/young adult is struggling and no one is quite sure why, a comprehensive evaluation provides answers. Dr. Marnee brings neuropsychological training and a bio-psycho-social approach to every evaluation. She looks at how your child’s brain learns and processes information, how they think and feel, and how home and school affect them. Families leave with a clear understanding of their child’s strengths and challenges and a practical plan for moving forward.
Neuropsychological and Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
The most comprehensive option. It examines how the brain is functioning across a wide range of abilities and is recommended for medical, neurological, and developmental concerns, as well as complex attention and learning questions. Testing takes approximately 10 hours.
Psychoeducational Evaluation
Focused on learning, attention, and academic functioning. It identifies learning disabilities and ADHD and provides recommendations for school accommodations and support. Many private schools with learning support programs require one for admission. Testing takes approximately 8 hours.
Gifted Evaluation
Determines whether a child meets the criteria for gifted services in Florida public schools. See details below.
College Documentation
Students who need accommodations in college or on standardized tests often need current documentation. Dr. Marnee provides documentation letters and update evaluations for students with prior diagnoses.
What Each Evaluation Includes
Intake session. Dr. Marnee meets with your family, in person or virtually, to understand current concerns, your child’s history, and your goals, and completes the paperwork to begin.
School observation (Age Depending). Dr. Marnee visits your child’s school, daycare, or other setting for an hour-long observation, including conversations with teachers, administrators, and other educators who know your child well.
Testing sessions. Each test is selected to fit your child’s age and the questions you need answered. Testing is spread across several shorter sessions rather than one or two long ones, so your child can do their best work. Your child can take breaks as needed.
Progress updates. After each testing session, Dr. Marnee shares brief verbal feedback on how testing went.
Written report and feedback session. You’ll receive a detailed written report, typically 15 to 25 pages or more, with results, interpretations, any diagnoses, and a clear action plan after the feedback session. The feedback session is in person or virtual.
Collaboration and follow-through. With your permission, Dr. Marnee shares findings with your child’s physicians and works with the school to put recommendations into practice, because a plan only helps if it’s used.

Intellectual Functioning (IQ): verbal and nonverbal reasoning, cognitive ability, and processing speed

Gifted evaluation
A gifted evaluation determines whether a child meets the criteria for gifted services through Exceptional Student Education in Florida public schools. Children who qualify often benefit from a more challenging academic setting. Whether or not your child meets the criteria, the report also offers insight into their strengths and areas for growth.
The gifted evaluation includes:
A brief information form completed by the parent
An intelligence test (IQ), in a single appointment of about 1½ hours
Verbal feedback within 24 hours of testing
A written report within two weeks
As with all testing, your child can take breaks as needed, and should come well-rested and fed.
