I’m a licensed psychologist and the owner of Kuehnel Psychological Services, PLLC. For over 15 years, I’ve been working with children, adolescents, and their families to provide social, emotional, behavioral, and learning supports. In addition to direct therapeutic work, I’ve completed over 500 neuropsychological and educational evaluations, conducted school observations, and participated in school Team meetings. I’m thrilled to offer comprehensive services here at KPS and hope that we can be a great support to your family!

Born and raised in Massachusetts, I moved to Montreal to study psychology and behavioral science at McGill University. During my studies, I volunteered in a developmental disorders research lab, volunteered at a program for high school students with learning disabilities, and spent summers teaching social skills and emotion regulation to children with autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. I then sought out a graduate career in school psychology, where I received excellent training in assessment, intervention, consultation, and research. Throughout my five years at APA-accredited Michigan State University, I worked in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and hospital clinics, in addition to a substantially separate program for children with autism spectrum disorder and a substantially separate program for children with traumatic brain injury. Upon graduation with my Ph.D., I completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology and became a licensed psychologist in the state of Massachusetts.

Over the past seven years, I have completed over 500 neuropsychological and educational evaluations, run multiple evidence-based social skills groups and parent training programs, provided individual and family therapy, offered workshops to local parent groups, published research in peer-reviewed journals, presented at regional conferences, and mentored more than 10 students. I continue to enjoy assessment, intervention, consultation, and training, which is why I am committed to offering a range of services to meet the needs of children and families.

Outside of KPS, I enjoy running, hiking, camping, watching football, and cooking/baking. I live in Franklin with my husband and our three young boys who keep me active, smiling, and laughing!
