Priya Patel

executive functioning coach

I hold my Masters in Psychology from The New School For Social Research. I am currently pursuing my doctorate in School-Community Psychology at Hofstra University.

I currently serve as HPC’s executive functioning program administrative assistant and also work with children, adolescents, and adults as an executive functioning coach. In this role, I help my clients manage executive functioning skills such as organization, time management, planning, and more. 

I collaborate with clients to create a model that works for them when it comes to achieving their goals, whether those goals are school or skill focused (e.g. taking the subway independently). My work includes helping clients navigate the subway, complete personal tasks such as grocery shopping or going to the pharmacy, and supporting phone and computer digital organization. I have expertise in motivational interviewing and incorporate it in my sessions as needed. I have a particular passion for working with individuals with ASD.
