Presenters

Jenn Brown, Psy.D. is the clinical director of PSUSA, where she has been completing psychological assessments since 2011. Through the years Jenn has had opportunities to not only complete assessments in wilderness, residential treatment, and occasionally in outpatient settings, but also to assess for and diagnose a broad range of diagnoses including autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, OCD, and a great number of other menta health disorders. What she loves most about completing psychological assessments is not only does she get to help people figure out how to move forward in their life, it is also a job that continuously stays interesting as no two people's stories are alike. Over the past fourteen years as a licensed psychologist, she has completed well over 1200 evaluations, supported by the team at PSI and now PSUSA. As clinical director she now supports 12 psychologists to continue this work. When not working, Jenn loves to travel as recently evidenced by her sabbatical which she spent in South America and Southern Asia. Jenn is also an avid birder and reader and is always up for a good game of disc golf.
