The kind of practice she always wanted to be able to refer patients to
Dr. Baldassarre completed her doctoral training and postdoctoral fellowship at Dartmouth and went on to work at the Advocate Memory Center and in neurology private practice.
She holds board certification in neuropsychology, placing her among fewer than 30 board-certified neuropsychologists practicing in the greater Chicagoland area. She is an active member of the AACN and holds PSYPACT credentials, allowing her to provide evaluation services across 42 states.
She founded Riverside Psychology in River Forest to give the greater Chicagoland area something it didn't have: specialized neuropsychological services without the months-long wait.
What people are saying
Hear from patients and families who found clarity, answers, and a path forward through Riverside Psychology.
"We had been waiting eight months at another practice. Riverside got us in within two weeks and gave us the clearest, most actionable report I've ever seen. It changed how our whole care team approached my father's treatment."
"Dr. Baldassarre explained everything clearly, never made us feel rushed, and the feedback session was the most useful appointment we've had in three years of working with our son's diagnosis. The report itself was thorough but written for humans, not other doctors."
"I've been referred for two neuropsychological evaluations before. This was the first one where I actually understood what the results meant and left with a plan. If you're in Chicagoland and this is on your list, don't wait."
