Dr. Nicole Brundige, Ph.D.,
Neuropsychological Evaluator
Dr. Brundige earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology with an additional concentration in
Neuropsychology in 2022. Although her initial career goal was to work full-time in primary care, her training shifted her interest to working in private practice mainly conducting assessment. Although she evaluates adults of all ages with a breadth of referral questions, she focuses a significant portion of her work on older adults, as her background in Alzheimer’s disease research fostered a special interest in the older adult population.
Dr. Brundige was raised in Saratoga, NY and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology close to home at the State
University of New York at Albany. Immediately after her college graduation, she earned her
Master’s degree in Research Psychology with a concentration in Health Psychology at the
University of Hartford while working for the University of Connecticut Medical School in
research on preventing alcohol and substance abuse in children. Upon completion of her degree,
she went on to work in research at the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center of Case Western
Reserve University Medical School and University Hospitals of Cleveland, OH. Her experiences
there inspired her to continue her graduate education at Northeastern University in Boston, MA,
where she earned her Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Health
Psychology before achieving her doctoral candidacy at the California School of Professional
Psychology.
While in CA, she made the difficult decision to take time away from her career path
for familial reasons prior to resuming her education to finish her doctorate at Fielding Graduate
University. During her stay in her Ph.D. program, she also earned a Master’s degree in Clinical
Psychology. Her doctoral training took her to Maine briefly and then to the Boston Metro area,
where she began her years long training in psychological and neuropsychological assessment
under Dr. Sasheen Hazel’s supervision. She also completed her clinical training at the same
facility and continues to conduct psychotherapy. Long-term, she plans to teach familial
caregivers and peer professionals how to preserve communicative capacities in people with
Alzheimer’s disease.
