Clinical Staff

Ali Shwartz, Ed.M.

Hi, I'm Ali!



I join Newton Neuropsychology Group following several years as Director of Support and Counseling at a local private school. I currently serve as a Mental Health Specialist at Gateways, a nonprofit organization supporting several local private schools.

I've worked as a school psychologist in both public and private sectors, and I believe that if all children feel safe and loved and are given the supports they need, they will thrive. My approach centers on creating environments where students can develop the skills they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out at the pool and local hikes with my two kids.
