Dr. Blakeman is a licensed psychologist, with specialized training and experience in the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents.  In the course of obtaining her PhD from Auburn University, Dr. Blakeman selected training opportunities that focused primarily on meeting the psychological needs of youth, including an early intervention program, a facility for incarcerated youth, and community mental health.  In addition, Dr. Blakeman completed a full-time pre-doctoral internship at the Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, as well as a postdoctoral fellowship in the pediatrics department of the Medical University of South Carolina.  Additional postdoctoral supervision and training was obtained under the direction of Dr. Jay Inwald, a pediatric neuropsychologist, at the offices of Neurobehavioral Consultants in Bingham Farms, Michigan.  This extensive training has allowed Dr. Blakeman to obtain expertise in the area of child assessment and treatment, including autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, ADHD, behavior problems, emotional struggles, and issues related to adjusting to chronic illness.

On a personal note, Dr. Blakeman is married with two young boys and understands the struggles of families to do what is best for their children while also meeting the demands of our often very busy, hectic lives.
