Hingham Director; Pediatric & Adult Neuropsychologist
Dr. Creedon brings extensive expertise in evaluating youth and young adults with a wide range of complex challenges. She is dedicated to uncovering each individual’s unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses, enabling her to craft personalized plans for intervention and success. By bridging the gap between assessment data and therapeutic services, Dr. Creedon provides a clear roadmap for change and a deeper understanding of each individual’s needs. Her goal is to help students and their families feel validated and empowered throughout the evaluation process. She is excited to serve as Director of the Hingham office, expanding NESCA’s expert services to the South Shore.
Dr. Creedon tailors every assessment to address a range of referral questions, including developmental disabilities like Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disorders, attention challenges, executive functioning deficits, and social-emotional struggles. She has particular expertise in understanding how social-emotional disorders impact cognitive, academic, and social skills. Dr. Creedon is also highly skilled in working with students who present with complex, multi-layered challenges, often involving multiple diagnoses. Her expertise lies in carefully assessing and navigating these overlapping issues, clarifying whether emotional, learning, or social-cognitive factors—or a combination—are contributing. Moreover, she has expertise in differentiating between these areas in children, teens, and young adults who may suspect they have Autism. She also evaluates college-/grad school-age individuals with developmental issues, such as ASD and ADHD, particularly when there is a diagnostic clarity or accommodation question.
With experience across various settings—including public and charter schools, therapeutic day schools, outpatient clinics, psychiatric emergency services, and inpatient settings—Dr. Creedon brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Creedon moved to New England to attend Boston College. She conducted clinical research at Boston Children’s Hospital before earning her doctoral degree at Suffolk University. Her training included an APA internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Cambridge Health Alliance, working in both outpatient and inpatient settings. She is a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts.
Dr. Creedon lives on the South Shore of Massachusetts with her husband and two children. In her free time, she enjoys cheering from the sidelines of soccer and lacrosse games, spending time at the beach on the Cape, cooking and baking with her family, and reading.
