Shinakee Gumber, Ph.D.Neuropsychologist
Rehabilitation Psychologist NYS Licensed Psychologist 
About MeAs a neuropsychologist, and a board certified rehabilitation psychologist, I work with people with brain injuries and neurological illnesses to conduct neuropsychological assessments and treatment.
A neuropsychological assessment helps me to establish parameters of current cognitive functioning. This includes finding out the vulnerabilities in thinking that resulted from the brain injury/illness, as well as the intact aspects of cognitive function. With respect to treatment, I help individuals and families adapt to changes after their injuries and maximize cognitive and functional abilities. I use empirically validated, well researched treatments to improve cognitive functions such as attention, speed, language, memory and the ability to be efficient in day-to-day life. I also focus on behavioral and emotional changes, all of which can commonly occur after an injury or illness. In my 7 years of postgraduate experience, I have come to understand that a diagnosis or an injury can create chaos for both the individual and their respective family members. Therefore, I work to address all systems and aspects of life that have been impacted by the injury. I also currently work as a full-time faculty member at NYU Langone as I am engaged in research and clinical work with patients. Education
