Directors

Tammy Moscrip, Ph.D.
Director, Clinical Services
Tammy was pre-med and a double major in biology and psychology at Bates College and then went on to earn her doctorate in Psychology (cognitive neuroscience focus) at Columbia University.  Given Tammy's educational and research background in cognitive psychology, she is particularly interested in the intersection of the brain, cognition and behavior.  Her current work with students allows her to integrate her knowledge of neuroscience and learning theory to help students develop cross-disciplinary skills and strategies that address short-term goals for academic success, as well as long-term goals that involve essential life skills such as organization, time management, confidence-building and self-regulated learning.  Her approach utilizes a strengths-based teaching methodology that recognizes the unique socio-cognitive-behavioral profiles that shape individual students' learning styles.  She holds a special place in her heart for monkeys, but loves animals of all kinds, and enjoys SCUBA diving, traveling, reading, and motorcycle riding.
