Currently she serves a full spectrum of pediatric adult clients, including individuals who are hearing, hard of hearing, and deaf and individuals who identify as LBGTQIA+.  At this time, Dr. Marshall is primarily focused on providing psychological evaluations within both private and treatment settings. She addresses referral questions related to giftedness, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Post-traumatic stress, and Learning differences.  She employs a person-centered approach that is focused on identifying individuals’ strengths and needs to provide recommendations and resources to help them be successful in their lives and to feel connected and valued.
Prior to joining ACES, Dr. Marshall worked within a psychiatric treatment facility from 1996-2004 providing psychological assessments, therapy, consultation, and supervision in outpatient, day treatment, residential, and acute programs. From 2004-2020, Dr. Marshall served many roles, both clinical and administrative, within a private not-for-profit behavioral health organization. In addition to providing and overseeing direct clinical services, she was also involved in creating and implementing best practices related to trauma-informed care, non-aversive crisis management, and outcomes optimization. Dr. Marshall has conducted training, presentations, and clinical consultations nationally and internationally on a variety of topics, including deafness and child mental health, Autism, evidence-based data-driven processes, and trauma-informed practices.
