Specialty: Lifespan Neuropsychological Assessment and Evaluation
After he earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Rice University, Dr. Olivier Barthelemy (“Dr. Ollie”) worked as a psychometrician at Baylor College of Medicine’s adult neuropsychology clinic, both in Houston, TX. He then earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Boston University, where he learned how to conduct psychological treatment, neuropsychological evaluation, and research in populations across the lifespan. After an internship in general mental health at the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital in Bedford, MA, he conducted further research and neuropsychological assessment at Butler Hospital in Providence, RI. He is excited to join the Easterseals team, serve populations across the lifespan, pursue licensure in clinical psychology, and become a clinical neuropsychologist. In his free time, he enjoys biking, hiking, travel, video games, reading, and learning the piano.
Please introduce yourself to Dr. Ollie when you are in the Windsor office!
