About

Dr. KATE LIEBERMAN

Clinical Psychologist

I am a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. in clinical and community psychology from George Washington University and a B.A. in psychology from Columbia University.

In my clinical practice, I provide psychological evaluations for individuals of all ages. I provide in-person testing services in my office in Washington, DC. With special arrangement, I can provide services in Manhattan, New York. I am also PSYPACT licensed, which allows me to offer telepsychology services to clients in multiple states.

In addition to my clinical work, I teach psychological assessment for George Washington University’s Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program. I have previously taught undergraduate psychology. I have also supervised graduate students in assessment and therapy.

My research focuses on the development of culturally and developmentally sensitive interventions. I have published peer-reviewed journal articles, presented at international conferences, and consulted on mental health issues for public and private schools.

I frequently pursue advanced trainings and consult academic journals to keep abreast of the latest developments in assessment. Most recently, I completed a 200-credit hour postdoctorate certificate program in school neuropsychological assessment.

I am also an active member of multiple professional psychological societies. I currently serve as the Co-Chair of Continuing Education for Northern Virginia Clinical Psychologists (NVCP).

I strive to provide an inclusive and safe space for people of all genders, races, sexualities, abilities, bodies, and neurotypes. I welcome and appreciate feedback if I ever fall short of these values.
