About
Hi! I’m Dr. Yuna Seong. My training is in school, clinical, and neuropsychology. I completed my PhD in School Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and am a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP). I am currently providing therapeutic, executive functioning, and performance psychology services at InPractice Psychology and neuropsychological evaluations at Webb Scott Psychology.
Prior to entering private practice, I worked across schools, clinics, and community programs providing therapy and evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. I specialize in neuropsychological assessment, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. I am especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals (e.g., autism, ADHD, learning disorders, twice-exceptional).
My research background in social-emotional learning, trauma, and equity informs everything I do. It is incredibly important to me that every client feels genuinely understood and that their care is tailored to who they are.
Outside of work, I love drawing, painting, crafting, baking, and caring for my plants.
