Areas of expertise

Dr. Meskowsky enjoys working with children, teens, young adults, and adults, and specializes in individual psychotherapy/EMDR, diagnostic psychological testing, and neurotherapy.    

Dr. Meskowsky started her career during her undergraduate program in Los Angeles working with children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), neurodevelopmental disorders, traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, and/or those who were dually diagnosed. This introduced Dr. Meskowsky to a strong behaviorally-focused treatment paradigm and applied behavioral strategies.   Following the completion of her master’s degree program, Dr. Meskowsky relocated to New York and worked as an applied behavior therapist in a similar setting with individuals with ASD and found the work to be extremely rewarding. She relocated two more times and worked primarily with families and children with ASD (first in Florida, then in Northern California) utilizing the applied behavior analysis (ABA) approach to treatment as well as providing parent training.  

​Dr. Meskowsky returned to school to complete her doctorate in 2015 and began her internship with Dr. Kenneth Philipp in 2018.  Dr. Philipp’s success in utilizing biofeedback and neurofeedback in his practice prompted Dr. Meskowsky to attend and complete trainings on both modalities. She also focused her dissertation on the topics, titled The Efficacy of Biofeedback and Neurofeedback for ADHD and PTSD. Finding the research overwhelmingly supportive of biofeedback and neurofeedback for the treatment of many problematic disorders, Dr. Meskowsky is now board certified and specializing in neurofeedback.  She has a special interest in using neurotherapy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, AD/HD, PTSD, trauma, mood/depression, and anxiety.  Additionally, Dr. Meskowsky has used neurofeedback to enhance sports performance in golfers and enjoys working with athletes.
