About Dr. Roye

After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Bryn Mawr College, I attended Pace University where I earned both a Masters of Education in School Psychology, and a Doctor of Psychology Degree in Clinical Child Psychology. I completed my doctoral internship at the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services, both in their Child Development Center and Neuropsychological Testing Clinic. During my time at Pace, I worked with several professors specializing in early childhood psychology which sparked my interest. However, it was when, during my third year of school, that I had my first child, that I truly found my passion for young kids.

I am fortunate to have spent most of my career at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center. Initially, I was a Clinical Instructor of Pediatrics at the Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC), part of the Rose F. Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. I also worked in the HealthySteps Program at Montefiore Medical Group, where I served as an Early Childhood Development and Behavior Specialist within a large urban pediatric clinic in the Bronx. When my children were young, I wanted to work closer to home so I joined a group practice in Westchester, New York focused on psychological and neuropsychological testing. Over my four years there, I honed my diagnostic abilities for A-D/HD, Autism, Dyslexia and other learning disabilities. I loved flexing my “detective” muscles, but missed my colleagues in the Bronx, so I returned to Montefiore for a few more years. This time, I was a Supervising Psychologist in the Behavioral Health Integration Program at Montefiore, in which I provided assessments and short-term therapy across the pediatric life span. I also supervised early career psychologists, and implemented universal pediatric behavioral screening and trauma-informed care practices within a primary care setting, among other things.

From all of these experiences, I have become a passionate believer in early intervention. I have seen many young children make tremendous strides when they are given additional support early on, and this is the mission that guides my practice. I do not believe in the “wait and see” approach and have deep respect for parents’ instincts and “gut feelings.” I’m a life-long resident of Northern Westchester, currently living in Ossining with my husband, two teenagers, dog, one eared cat, and two leopard geckos. I love doing anything craftsy (especially knitting), gardening, and yoga, reading mystery novels.
