Isabelle Beaulieu, Ph.D., is a fully licensed psychologist in the State of Michigan who is formally trained as a clinical neuropsychologist. She earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychology from the University of Montreal (Quebec, Canada). She completed an APA-accredited internship and two-year post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at Henry Ford Hospital (HFHS), in Detroit. Following her training, she worked as a pediatric neuropsychologist within HFHS’s Neuropsychology Department, and then moved on to private practice.

Dr. Beaulieu has performed assessments on toddlers, children, adolescents and young adults, covering a wide variety of developmental and acquired neurological disorders. In addition to ADHD and learning disabilities, she is well versed in conducting neuropsychological evaluations of individuals with pervasive developmental disorders (i.e., autism, Asperger’s Syndrome), genetic disorders, traumatic brain injuries, seizure disorders, motor and language disorders, teratogenic exposure (i.e., exposure to alcohol and/or illicit drugs in utero, heavy metal intoxication) and childhood psychiatric disorders (i.e., depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder). Her assessments focus on providing diagnostic information and include individualized recommendations to optimize each client’s learning style based on cognitive strengths and weaknesses. She is actively involved in school meetings that help parents, students, teachers and administrators incorporate assessment results in order to strategize meaningful educational objectives for the client.

Dr. Beaulieu has published articles and abstracts in the field of neuropsychology and has presented at national conferences. She has co-authored a book chapter on neuropsychological and psychoeducational testing that was published in a pediatric neuropsychiatry medical textbook. She held a lecturer position at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) where she taught graduate students. She has presented at local organizations, including schools, universities and professional associations, on topics related to learning disabilities and ADHD, executive functioning skills in preschool and school age students, the importance of play in early literacy skills, and pervasive developmental disorders. She was involved in the training and supervision of interns and post-doctoral fellows and conducted seminars for medical students on normal and abnormal development. Dr. Beaulieu is a member of several organizations, including the American Psychological Association, Michigan Psychological Association, International Neuropsychological Society, National Academy of Neuropsychology, and Learning Disability Association of Michigan.
