Clinical Staff

Dr. Christina Lin

Hi, I'm Dr. Christina!



I specialize in the neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents, and young adults, with professional interests in autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and mood/anxiety disorders. I have a strong passion for the early identification of neurocognitive and learning differences in young children, as early detection is crucial for accessing services and achieving better outcomes.

My training has taken me through some of Boston's most respected institutions, and I'm committed to providing comprehensive evaluations that offer diagnostic clarity for individuals with complex clinical profiles characterized by neurodiversity, learning differences, and psychiatric conditions.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my Duck Tolling Retriever, Benny. My hobbies include cooking with my husband, doing yoga, and traveling.
