About Dr. Elena Ostroy
Brooklyn Neuropsychologist 

I am a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with over two decades of experience providing comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, teens, and adults. My practice is conveniently located in Gowanus, Brooklyn, serving families and individuals across Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, and the greater Brooklyn and NYC areas.

I obtained my doctorate in clinical psychology and completed post-doctoral training in clinical neuropsychology. Having worked in a variety of clinical settings, I have years of expertise working with clients across the life span with a wide array of developmental, neurological, and psychiatric conditions,  including ADHD, ASD, language-based and nonverbal learning disabilities, developmental delays, mood and anxiety disorders, and other conditions. 

​

My clinical experience covers nearly all ages, from young children to the elderly. I have worked with preschoolers experiencing developmental delays, provided evaluations and treatment to school-aged children with ADHD at the NYU Child Study Center, spent eight years as a senior supervising neuropsychologist in Kings County Hospital where I evaluated children and adults, and worked at a neurology practice specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of brain injuries/concussions and neurological complications of COVID-19.

​

In addition to clinical practice, I have taught and supervised graduate and medical students, interns, and post-doctoral trainees throughout my career. I always strive to stay informed of the new, exciting developments in research and clinical practice in my field.  To that extent, I have presented at national neuropsychology conferences and have participated in clinical research and development of new cognitive assessment tools. 

​

As a fluent Russian speaker, I offer bilingual evaluations when needed. I have been a long-time Brooklyn resident, where I live with my husband, two school-aged kids, and two dogs.
