Hallie Malbin, Ph.D.

Comprehensive psychological evaluations for children and adolescents to better understand their strengths, challenges, learning profiles, and the support they need to succeed.

Children & Adolescents

About Hallie

A Thoughtful, Child-Centered Approach

I conduct comprehensive evaluations, which provide information about a child/adolescent’s strengths, weaknesses and current level of functioning.  Using the testing results, I develop meaningful recommendations and suggest helpful interventions and accommodations.    

Through the evaluation process, my goal is to identify a child’s learning learning profile and determine what that child needs to be successful.  I also hope to empower parents so they can become advocates for their children.  

I received my Doctorate in Educational Psychology from the Graduate Center at CUNY, and I earned a Masters Degree in School Psychology from Teachers College at Columbia University.  Prior to joining Mental Wellness Montclair, I worked for over fifteen years as an elementary school psychologist in Westchester County, New York.

My goal is to help you create change. Find peace. Embrace your journey
