Meet Dr. Ashley Gray
I am a NYS Licensed Psychologist highly trained and experienced with over 10 years of experience specializing in comprehensive psychological assessment. Holding a Ph.D. and full clinical licensure, my primary focus is on providing accurate, thorough, and insightful mental health evaluations to help individuals better understand their strengths, challenges, and support needs.
My expertise includes diagnostic assessments for neurodivergence, intellectual disabilities, personality disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, suicidality, self-harm, and trauma-related concerns. I work with individuals ages 6 and up, including children, adolescents, and adults, to clarify diagnoses and develop personalized recommendations for treatment, accommodations, and support strategies.
What Is a Hybrid Assessment Approach?
At BrighterBeginnings Psychological Services, we offer hybrid psychological assessments—a flexible combination of telehealth (teleassessment) and in-person services—tailored to your specific needs and goals. While many components of assessment can be effectively completed through telehealth, certain evaluations, such as many main assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder, intellectual disabilities, and academic achievement, may require in-person testing. These assessments are considered the “gold standard” and are often necessary for accurate diagnosis, access to specialized services, or eligibility for school-based supports.
Our approach is collaborative and client-centered. I will work closely with you, your child, or your family to develop a plan that fits your unique situation. Travel and location options can be discussed and arranged as part of our agreement to ensure the process is as smooth and accessible as possible.
