About Dr. Norman Wells
I’m a licensed psychologist specializing in child evaluations for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disorders, as well as treatment for childhood anxiety, OCD, and emotional and behavioral challenges related to neurodiversity. I earned my master’s degree in experimental psychology from Western Washington University and completed my PhD in counseling psychology at the University of Oregon, an APA-accredited program, in 2021.
Throughout my graduate training, I developed extensive experience in diagnostic evaluations and evidence-based therapies for childhood anxiety, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and autism. I’ve worked with children and their families in a variety of settings, including community clinics, a children’s hospital, and public schools. I’ve also presented research at national conferences and published peer-reviewed journal articles on topics including child development and parent-child interactions.
