About Dr. Cooley
I’ve been practicing psychology in northern Palm Beach County for over 30 years. I’m proud to be one of only 3% of psychologists in the United States to be Board Certified in Clinical Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology.
I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The University at Albany, State University of New York in 1974. My M.A. and B.A. degrees in psychology were awarded by Bucknell University. I was originally trained primarily in “adult” psychology but have worked with more children and adolescents over the years.
My current practice involves evaluating and treating children, adolescents and adults for a variety of behavioral and psychological problems. I specialize in the evaluation of Attention Deficit Disorder, learning disabilities, giftedness, developmental delays and autism spectrum disorders. I also continue to practice psychotherapy with adults. I enjoy the variety of working with different ages and problems.
I’m a member of the American and Florida Psychological Associations, Children & Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD), National Association of School Psychologists (Affiliate) and the Learning Disability Association of America & Florida. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Renaissance Learning Center, a charter school in West Palm Beach for children with autism.
I love to teach and have conducted training programs in over one dozen states for educators, mental health professionals, psychologists and physicians. I’ve published several articles on learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder. My book, Teaching Kids with Mental Health and Learning Disorders in the Regular Classroom has sold over 10,000 copies, received numerous reviews and has been published in four languages. I am currently on the faculty of the Lifelong Learning Society at Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter, Fl.
