Dr. Zhannah Vaysman is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychological and neuropsychological assessment for adults (ages 18 and up). Her private practice is dedicated to providing comprehensive, evidence-based evaluations that help clarify diagnoses, guide treatment planning, and support medical, educational, and legal decision-making.
Dr. Vaysman has a particular interest and expertise in working with older adults, offering in-depth neuropsychological testing for concerns such as memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia.
In addition to assessment, Dr. Vaysman is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—two cutting-edge, trauma-informed therapies that help individuals reprocess distressing memories quickly and effectively. These approaches are known for producing rapid, lasting results, often with fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.
Dr. Vaysman draws from a variety of evidence-based treatments in her therapeutic work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and brings warmth, cultural sensitivity, and a collaborative spirit to her work with clients.
As an immigrant herself, Dr. Vaysman is attuned to the ways in which culture, language, and identity shape emotional and psychological well-being. She provides services in both English and Russian, including psychotherapy and psychological testing.
Dr. Vaysman earned her Bachelor's and Master’s degrees in Elementary Education from Ushinsky Pedagogical University in Russia. She later completed both her Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, with a strong emphasis on integrating scientific research into clinical practice. Whether you're seeking clarity about cognitive changes, emotional challenges, or the impact of trauma, Dr. Vaysman offers compassionate, expert care designed to support your goals and improve your quality of life.
