Background and Experience:
Dr. Diane Shin is a licensed psychologist who was born and raised in the Seattle area. She earned her doctorate in Psychology from Northwest University where she trained in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, group practices, and community programs. She later completed her advanced training and fellowship in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. During her time in Illinois, she gained extensive experience conducting neuropsychological assessments and providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults.

She is passionate about mentoring future psychologists and supporting their development in evidence-based, compassionate, and culturally informed care.
Special Interests and Services:
Dr. Diane specializes in comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. She collaborates closely with clients and families to better understand concerns related to attention, executive functioning, learning challenges, behavioral and emotional difficulties, social communication, sensory differences, and giftedness.
Her assessments are designed not only to clarify diagnoses, such as autism, ADHD, or learning disorders, but also to provide meaningful insight into an individual’s cognitive or learning profile, emotional well-being, and unique strengths and needs. These insights help create a clear roadmap to support success at home, in school, and therapy.
Dr. Diane has particular expertise in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, and learning differences. She also provides evaluations for a broad range of concerns, including (but not limited to) mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, nonverbal learning disorder, psychosis, intellectual disability, behavioral concerns, dyslexia, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
