Dr. Marilyn McCune, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral fellow with a specialization in neurocognitive and psychological assessment. She offers comprehensive neurocognitive evaluations for a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD and autism, as well as learning disorders and psychiatric conditions such as mood disorders, psychosis, personality disorders, and posttraumatic conditions.

As part of her postdoctoral training at the Center for Child Development, Dr. McCune’s assessments are supervised by board certified neuropsychological psychologists Dr. Christine Clancy, Ph.D., ABPP, and Dr. Tyson Bailey, PsyD, ABPP.

Dr. McCune earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a focus on neuropsychology from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA. During her predoctoral internship, Dr. McCune gained extensive experience in acute inpatient psychiatric treatment and intervention for both adolescent and adult patients. Her expertise lies in child cognitive development and the effects of neuroendocrine stress hormones on cognitive functions such as attention, learning, and memory. This knowledge extends to her research in childhood adverse experiences and the overlapping symptoms of conditions like ADHD, PTSD, autism, and psychiatric disorders.

Before pursuing her doctoral studies, Dr. McCune was a board-certified psychometrist at Seattle Children’s Hospital's Rehab Medicine department, where she administered neuropsychological assessments. Additionally, she served as a research associate with the Mind ICU study at the University of Washington School of Medicine, contributing to research on mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and delirium.

Dr. McCune also provides consultation and therapy. Her areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar depression, psychosis, personality disorders, posttraumatic disorders, dissociation, suicidality, and coping with severe psychiatric disorders. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory, dialectical-behavior therapy, developmental trauma, and attachment theory.

Dr. McCune is dedicated to providing exceptional care to her patients through her comprehensive assessments and therapeutic services.
