Brooke Egbert, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist

  Psychological Services for Children and Adolescents

I received my doctorate in school-child-clinical psychology in 2002 from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University, Bronx, New York. I completed my pre-doctoral training at The Astor Home for Children, Rhinebeck, New York where I further honed my skills in play therapy and family therapy. Prior to Astor, I received clinical training working in both inpatient and outpatient pediatric settings as well as school systems. 

 

I became licensed as a psychologist in 2004 and shortly thereafter, spent three years working as a school psychologist in Massachusetts.  During my tenure as a school psychologist, I was responsible for evaluating children with special needs and played a key role in planning their education.  

 

When my family moved to Northeast Pennsylvania in 2007, I returned to working in a clinical setting and eventually opened my own practice in 2012. I have greatly enjoyed working with children and families throughout the Wyoming Valley and building relationships with colleagues from related mental health fields.  Within my private practice, I provide individual therapy for children and adolescents, family therapy, and play therapy for my younger clients. I also provide psychological testing for children and adolescents.  I have experience working with a wide range of psychological concerns in children  including  anxiety, depression, attention-deficit disorders, trauma, oppositional defiant disorders, autism spectrum disorders, learning/developmental disorders, family/school adjustment issues, among others.
