Experience

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 2003 and have worked in private clinical settings since that time (CA license PSY24114; NY license 015999).

I have enjoyed conducting psychotherapy with children and adults, conducting neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments, and teaching graduate students at New York University in child and adolescent psychology.

I have broad clinical experience, having trained and worked in various settings, including:

a university-based mental health clinic
community mental health clinics and private practices in rural and urban settings in Ohio, West Virginia, New York City, and Los Angeles
residential drug rehabilitation units for adolescents and adults
a hospital-based Mentally Impaired Chemical Abuse (MICA) day treatment program for adults
a private company serving children and adolescents with learning disabilities
ZOOGA yoga where I train potential instructors in the benefits of yoga for children with ADHD, Anxiety/Depression, and Autism

I have received specialized training in the treatment of:

ADHD
behavior and mood problems
learning disabilities
substance abuse
sexual assault

My research background is in:

domestic violence
mother-child attachment and sibling communication
depression, family communication, and race
sexual assault treatment and prevention
parent involvement in the classroom
student involvement in the Individualized Education Plan process

Belief System

I am particularly interested in working with children, adolescents, and their families on developing healthy relationships with self, family, peers, and school.

My approach to treatment is eclectic. I consider each individual as a component of a larger family system and each family system as a member of even larger school and community systems. Therefore, I value insights of parents and teachers and I keep in mind that healthy communication between people and systems feeds emotional well-being, relationship success, and academic achievement. My work with children and teens is informed by my belief that strong people are built on the shoulders of the people who surround and support them.

Approach

My approach stems from training in cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, systems, and interpersonal psychotherapy. I am flexible and will adjust my methods to individual personalities and goals. For example, I might implement a cognitive-behavioral-based reward/consequence system to improve behavior or attention and train parents and teachers in how to use it; a young adult client and I might choose to explore his history of loss and unconscious fear of abandonment; I might work with a mom and her adolescent to reach a compromise on screen limits and privileges at home; or therapy might primarily hinge on talking about current needs and dilemmas and through our relationship the child feels understood and safe and has room and confidence to develop her own solutions to her problems.

Mary Panosian, Psy.D.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY33821) with extensive training and experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Over the years, I have provided psychotherapy and psychological assessments in diverse settings, including community mental health clinics, intensive outpatient childhood treatment centers, short-term crisis stabilization programs, and private practice.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of clinical issues, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, learning disorders, mood disorders, and trauma.

For the past five years at Team Consulting, I have further honed my skills and deepened my expertise in conducting comprehensive neuropsychological assessments. During this time, I have continued to refine my ability to understand each child or teen’s unique learning and psycho-social profile. My goal is always to help families, educators, and clients themselves recognize their strengths and use them to enhance learning, relationships, and emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy and assessment is enthusiastic, optimistic, and genuine. I am passionate about connecting with my clients, helping them understand and overcome challenges, and setting them up for success in all areas of their lives.

Heather Mesa, Psy.D.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience providing psychotherapy and comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations across the lifespan. I specialize in working with anxiety, mood-related concerns, and life transitions. I focus on using data to better understand cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, with an emphasis on providing clear and meaningful insights to individuals and families that extend beyond test scores.

My approach to assessment is thorough, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate multiple information sources to develop a well-rounded understanding of each individual. I have a particular interest in how anxiety and emotional factors impact attention, executive functioning, performance, personal wellness, and relationship health.

In addition to my assessment work at Team Consulting, I supervise psychology doctoral trainees in a hospital setting and remain committed to ongoing learning and professional development.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy staying active through jiu jitsu and yoga, spending time with my dogs, and traveling.
