Autorenporträt
Dr. Katia Fredriksen was born in France to a New Zealand mother and a Norwegian father. She later moved with her parents to Norway and then to the Washington, D.C., area, where she grew up. Dr. Fredriksen graduated from Princeton University, having earned a bachelor's degree in psychology with a certificate in French language and culture. Returning to her roots, Dr. Fredriksen spent a year studying and working in Norway and New Zealand before starting graduate school at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She earned her doctoral degree in clinical psychology, and her clinical training included inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy and assessment with children, adolescents, and adults. Her graduate research focused on health behaviors, including sleep and substance use. Dr. Fredriksen completed her post-doctoral training at a private practice in the Boston area, where she focused on autism, genetic disorders, learning disorders, and attention and executive functioning in a pediatric population. She has published several articles in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. Dr. Fredriksen continues to lecture to parent groups and professional organizations. She lives in the Washington, D.C., metro area with her husband, two children, cat, and parakeet. She enjoys reading cozy mysteries, puttering around the house, dining out, socializing with friends and neighbors, traveling, exercising (sort of!), and navigating the work/life balance necessitated by modern motherhood (not so much). You can follow her on Instagram @neuropsychmomdocs. Dr. Yael Rothman was born and raised in Michigan. She attended the University of Michigan where she earned a bachelor's degree in biopsychology and cognitive science. Following college, she had the privilege of spending a year in Cambridge, United Kingdom, doing research focused on autism spectrum disorder and tuberous sclerosis complex. She then spent a year in New York teaching young children with autism before earning a doctoral degree from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. Dr. Rothman completed her internship at Children's Hospital Colorado and her postdoctoral fellowship at Children's Hospital in Washington, D.C. She spent four years working as a pediatric neuropsychologist and was an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Department of Pediatrics at the George Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Rothman currently works at the Stixrud Group in Silver Spring, Maryland, where she completes comprehensive evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults who have a wide range of conditions that impact learning, behavior, and/or socioemotional functioning. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Rothman also has been involved in clinical research, with a primary focus on autism spectrum disorders. She has presented at several national and international conferences, published more than a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals, and given lectures to parents and educators. Dr. Rothman taught and performed improv comedy for 12 years in New York and Washington, D.C., although she is currently taking a hiatus. Now, she performs for her son, husband, and cat (who are sometimes decent audience members!). She enjoys karaoke, Orange Theory Fitness workout classes, musical theater, traveling, and reading young-adult fantasy/sci-fi books. You can follow her on Instagram @neuropsychmomdocs.
