The Clinical Through-Line
How the Brain Functions at the Moments That Matter Most
Dr. Sharpe-Taylor brings 15 years of private practice experience across a wide range of populations — trauma survivors, children and families, forensic and custody contexts, adolescents, community systems, and government agencies. That breadth is not incidental. It is what makes rigorous pattern recognition possible across clinical settings.
Her work in pediatric neuropsychology and aeromedical psychology is grounded in the same core question: how is this brain functioning under the demands in front of it? In developing children, that question concerns learning, emotional regulation, and neurological disruption. In young adults entering complex careers, it concerns psychological readiness for high-stakes work. The science is the same. The clinical precision required is the same.

Areas of Expertise
Different Populations. The Same Foundational Science.
Clinical depth in one area sharpens the other — experience with developing brains informs evaluation of mature ones, and the precision aeromedical work demands enriches how developmental challenges are assessed.
Pediatric Neuropsychology
Evaluation and treatment across the developmental landscape — from the earliest signs of functional neurological disruption to complex learning and behavioral profiles in school-age children and adolescents.
Aeromedical Psychology
Rigorous psychological evaluation for FAA-regulated aviation contexts, conducted in compliance with FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine specifications and applicable state law.
Clinical Philosophy
Every Brain Tells a Story. The Clinician's Task Is to Read It Accurately.
Brains are like fingerprints — no two are alike.
Whether assessing a child who cannot stay seated long enough to learn or a young professional whose psychological readiness will determine their fitness for a demanding career, the task is the same: understand how a specific brain is functioning in a specific context, and communicate that with precision and clinical integrity. That standard does not change based on the population or the referral source. It is the foundation of every evaluation at LST Psychological Services.
