In a city where achievement is prized and intellect often masks distress, many of New York's most capable children are quietly falling behind emotionally-and no one notices until they're in crisis.
Dr. Elyse Bensusan's practice is changing that.
A Columbia-trained clinical psychologist, Dr. Bensusan recently launched a boutique private practice on Manhattan's Upper East Side dedicated to neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations. Her approach is warm, emotionally attuned, and designed to uncover the hidden challenges behind a child's strengths.
"These are the kids who get good grades but melt down after school," she explains. "The ones who are compliant in class but can't sleep at night. Too often, they're misread as fine because they're high-functioning."
At Bensusan Psychological Services, evaluations are never one-size-fits-all. Each assessment is collaborative and personalized-engaging parents, teachers, and specialists to understand the full picture. Dr. Bensusan evaluates not only academic ability, but also emotional regulation, executive functioning, and social dynamics.
"Families often come to me after trying everything-tutors, therapy, accommodations-but still feeling stuck," she says. "A well-done evaluation can finally connect the dots and give everyone a shared language to move forward."
Her practice specializes in:
- ADHD and executive functioning challenges
- Gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) learners
- Learning issues in reading, writing, and math
- Anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional dysregulation
- Clarifying IEP or 504 eligibility
- Private school admissions testing
Dr. Bensusan brings years of experience working alongside NYC school teams, pediatricians, and private educators. But what sets her work apart is the deep emotional intelligence she brings to every interaction.
"These aren't just test scores," she emphasizes. "They're emotional maps. They help children feel seen and give parents the clarity to advocate with confidence."
Her Upper East Side office is now welcoming new families starting in August. Referrals from pediatricians, learning specialists, and school psychologists are encouraged. A limited number of sliding scale slots are available for families referred by schools or tutors.
For parents wondering whether it's time to evaluate, Dr. Bensusan offers this reassurance:
"Don't wait for a breaking point. The earlier we understand a child, the sooner we can support them-and that changes everything."
