About Dr. Ilana
A psychologist who understands
brain & behavior
Dr. Ilana Levy-Paris is a licensed psychologist with specialized training in neuropsychology. She earned her doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Florida, focusing on assessing and treating individuals across the lifespan with a wide array of neurological and psychological difficulties.
She completed an APA-approved internship through the Boston Consortium working with veterans who experienced traumatic brain injuries and PTSD. During her two-year post-doctoral fellowship she was part of an intra-disciplinary clinic assessing and treating children with learning differences, providing extensive family education and individualized behavioral plans.
Dr. Ilana spent several years working with individuals who experienced brain injuries, stroke, or other cognitive changes — providing neuropsychological assessments, individual and family therapy, and facilitating smooth transitions back to "real life," school, and work.
In private practice today, Dr. Ilana offers therapeutic and consultative services for clients ranging from children through adults. She enjoys leading support groups and working with families, with a special interest in parent education and caregiver resiliency.
Dr. Ilana was born in Columbia, Maryland, and after many moves over the years is happy to have returned to the area with her husband and two daughters.
