Andrew Aspel PhD
Serving Newton & Surrounding Areas
Dr. Andrew David Aspel
Andrew D. Aspel, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist

I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents and their families. I currently work as a psychologist for the Newton Public Schools as well so I am familiar with the impact of how certain learning or emotional difficulties affect a child's performance in school. I am also able to provide guidance around the special education process. My areas of specialty include working with individuals with high functioning autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities including deficits in executive functioning, mood disorders and anxiety. I also provide parent training, support and guidance around home issues or behavioral challenges. My primary treatment method is cognitive behavioral. I provide support around social pragmatics when needed. There has also been an increased need to support h individuals who need some assistance transitioning from adolescence into adulthood. This has become a very important component of my practice as well.
Psychologist in Newton, MA
Children and families face a variety of challenges today. Children may struggle with social relationships, academics and behavior. There may also be signs that your child is exhibiting a depressed mood or facing some anxiety that they can not manage on their own. As a parent, it is difficult to know how to support your child or adolescent. My role is to provide you and your child with the tools needed to navigate these challenges successfully. I am happy to speak with you prior to setting up an appointment. During this conversation we will develop an action plan together.

Making a connection
My son's successes and failures depend largely upon his relationships with the adults in his life. If my son believes that an adult "gets him," he'll do whatever is asked of him. If the adult is disingenuous or treats him like a simple kid, he'll turn his back. We brought our son to Dr. Aspel primarily for anxiety. After our first visit, we knew we had come to the right person. After several visits, our son would ask when his next visit would be. In practical terms, Dr. Aspel gives good advice to us because he too is a parent. He knows that there is an intersection between clinical knowledge and real life experience. His experiences and teachings are invaluable for us and for our son. We've already recommended Dr. Aspel to a friend, who is now a client. We highly recommend Dr. Aspel.

Children and adolescents with ADHD can face a variety of challenges in various aspects of their life including their school performance, social relationships and family life. As children with ADHD become older, the demands on their executive functioning skills increases which impact's their ability to organize themselves around school as well as other daily activities. I work with children and adolescents to develop specific strategies to help them regulate their behavior and improve their executive functioning skills. I also work very closely with school personnel and parents to establish a structured and supportive environment so that these children are able to achieve and improve their self-confidence. This leads also leads to other skill development including their ability to manage their emotions and behavior.
Children and adolescents may feel stressed or anxious because of issues they experience in there daily lives. These stressors may be related to academics, peer relationships or family dynamics. Children and adolescents may also have a more generalized feeling of anxiety without necessarily being able to identify the source of the stressor. I will work with them to help them identify the source of their stress and the thoughts and feelings behind it. We will work together to challenge these thoughts and improve their ability to manage these feelings effectively.
