Frances Crespo, Psychologist

Frances Crespo helps children, adolescents, and young adults across Florida understand their cognitive, developmental, and emotional strengths through comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing at LifeStance Health. She provides evaluations for young children through individuals in their mid-twenties, offering families clarity, diagnostic accuracy, and actionable recommendations that support long-term growth. With a clinical focus on ADHD and childhood behavior issues, Frances specializes in assessments that guide treatment planning, school accommodations, and individualized support strategies. She frequently works with children on the autism spectrum, individuals with developmental disabilities, and LGBTQ+ youth, tailoring each evaluation to the person’s developmental stage, learning profile, and lived experiences. Her testing process is structured, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Although no additional specialties are designated for emphasis, Frances is deeply committed to helping families make sense of complex behavioral and developmental concerns. She understands how overwhelming unanswered questions can feel, especially for caregivers seeking the right resources for a child. Through clear feedback, accessible reports, and thoughtful guidance, she empowers families to move forward with confidence and direction. Frances offers neuropsychological testing and additional assessment services designed to evaluate attention, learning, executive functioning, emotional functioning, and developmental needs. Her goal is to ensure that each client receives an evaluation that is both clinically rigorous and practically useful across school, home, and community settings. Outside of her clinical work, Frances enjoys reading, hiking, biking, running, exploring new cities, appreciating art, spending time in nature, listening to music, and being with her dogs. These interests help her maintain balance and enrich the warm, grounded approach she brings to patients and families throughout Florida.
