Micah Savin, Ph.D.

Dr. Micah Savin is an Ivy League-trained clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in understanding how brain function shapes thinking, learning, emotion, and behavior across the lifespan. Their work focuses on integrating neuroscience, neurology, and psychology to help individuals better understand complex cognitive and mental health concerns. Dr. Savin is liscenced in New York State and completed clinical and research training at UC San Diego Medical Center, Mount Sinai, Fordham University, UCLA’s West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, and Columbia University Medical Center.

Dr. Savin conducts comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing challenges with attention, learning, memory, executive functioning, mood, or neurological conditions. They frequently work with individuals navigating ADHD, learning disorders, developmental differences, traumatic brain injury, functional neurological disorders, anxiety and mood conditions, and cognitive changes related to medical or neurological illness. In addition to interventions, Dr. Savin provides psychotherapy and consultation for individuals coping with cognitive challenges, neurological diagnoses, or life transitions. Their approach integrates neuropsychology with evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions.

Dr. Savin is also a research scientist at Fordham University, where they direct the Aging in Context Core, a research program examining how biological aging, health conditions, and everyday experiences influence brain health over time. Their research combines neuroscience, behavioral science, and health psychology to better understand why people differ in cognitive aging and resilience. Their research, supported by organizations including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and the Alzheimer’s Association, has been published in leading scientific journals. Dr. Savin brings this research perspective directly into clinical care, helping patients benefit from the latest advances in neuroscience, neuropsychology, and brain health research.
