Katie Mukai, PhD.
Licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist in Pasadena, CA | She/Her Neuropsychological Assessment — Coming Soon to Psyched Therapy Collective
Understanding your brain is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.
Dr. Katie Mukai is a licensed clinical neuropsychologist based in the Pasadena area, bringing over a decade of experience in neuropsychological assessment across the full lifespan — from children and teens to adults navigating complex questions about how their minds work. She is joining Psyched Therapy Collective as a co-owner and will be accepting assessment clients later in 2026.
Neuropsychological Assessment Services (Coming Soon)
Katie specializes in comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for:
ADHD — in children, teens, and adults
Autism Spectrum — across ages and presentations
Learning differences — including dyslexia and other learning disabilities
Mood disorders — when emotional and cognitive concerns overlap
Traumatic brain injury & concussion
Medical complexities — including conditions like multiple sclerosis and hydrocephalus
Giftedness — including twice-exceptional (2e) profiles
Her assessments go beyond a diagnosis. Katie's approach emphasizes clarity, compassion, and real-world applicability, meaning you leave with more than a report. You leave with a genuine understanding of how your brain works and a practical roadmap for what comes next.
