Dr. Maureen Rickman works with individuals who are facing problems in daily living or experience mental illness. Some clients are distressed by unexpected troubles. Others have long-standing difficulty with managing strong emotions. Her practice includes working with children and teens who may have attention problems or poor problem-solving skills that make coping with problems even more challenging.

Dr. Rickman has a special interest in integrating a scientific understanding of the human brain into therapy. She includes attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral principles, and mindfulness in treatment. She practices mindfulness meditation and provides mindfulness-based group therapy.

In addition to clinical work, Dr. Rickman is invested in community outreach. She develops educational talks for mental health professionals that focus on integrating psychological science into clinical practice. Topics have included emotional development and attachment, gender identify and diversity, ADHD, and psychological testing.

Dr. Rickman does comprehensive psychological testing to help identify strategies for patients who have a complicated profile. Sometimes the focus is on neuropyschological issues such as attention, memory, cognitive abilities or problem-solving style. Other times the focus is on understanding temperament, emotional processing style, or disordered thinking related to personality disorders. Each assessment is tailored to the individual’s needs. Dr. Rickman has a special interest in diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
