Hello! I’m Dr. Tom Battocletti and welcome to my psychology practice website. My office is located at Methodist Medical Plaza East – Suite 230.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Psychologist since 1995, providing treatment to children and families in a variety of settings. This includes working in community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice.

Through more than nine years of college coursework and training to earn a doctorate in Clinical Psychology as well as ongoing education, I specialize in the treatment of:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention Deficit Disorder without Hyperactivity (ADD; now referred to as ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type)

And associated problems:

Oppositional and Defiant Behavior
Temper Outburts and Aggressive Behavior
Easily Frustrated
Depressed/Irritable Mood
Poor Self-Esteem
Anxiety
Difficulty Making Friends
Learning Difficulties
Refusing To Do Homework
Poor Grades (Underachievement)
Stealing, Lying, and Dishonesty

Many pediatricians, family physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinical social workers have referred children and families to me over the years.

Parents are welcome to contact me directly if they believe their child or family may be in need of psychological services. I provide individual psychotherapy and family therapy. I work collaboratively with your child's pediatrician or family physician. With parent permission, I will attend your child’s school conferences with you to help resolve problems, working together with you and the teachers – and your child (if appropriate) – to develop plans for improving grades, following the rules, and/or coping with emotional upsets.

Anyone who knows me or has been associated with my work is keenly aware of how seriously I take the practice of clinical psychology and the standards that I set in providing evidence-based treatment in a professional, compassionate, thorough, and ethical manner.
