Julia Chen, PhD - MSK Neuropsychologist & Pediatric Psychologist

Upper East Side sidewalks hum with the quiet rhythm of hospital traffic and families in transit. Among the medical offices lining York Avenue, Julia Chen, PhD offers neuropsychological and pediatric psychology services. The practice sits at 1275 York Ave, sharing the block with other specialists who cater to children and adolescents navigating medical or developmental challenges.

Pediatric neuropsychology bridges brain health and behavior, a niche that becomes essential when kids face neurological conditions or complex medical diagnoses. They assess cognitive functions, track developmental milestones, and provide therapeutic support for young patients managing chronic illness or recovery from injury. Families often seek this kind of expertise when school performance falters, attention wavers, or emotional regulation becomes a daily struggle. The focus remains on understanding how a child’s brain works and how best to support their growth.

Appointments can be arranged by calling (212) 639-2000. Directions to the office are available on the map.
