Joshua Shifrin, PhD, ABSNP, NCSP
Licensed Psychologist | Pediatric and school neuropsychological evaluations
Dr. Joshua Shifrin is a licensed psychologist who provides neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents in New Jersey. Families work with him when they need a clearer picture of how a child learns, pays attention, and processes information, and what kind of support would help at school.
Neuropsychological testing is done by Dr. Shifrin, not Dr. Hubsher. A psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Hubsher is a separate service, and the Center may refer patients to Dr. Shifrin when testing would add useful information.
