Abigail Connolly, Psychologist

Abigail Connolly helps patients across New York gain clarity, understanding, and direction through comprehensive psychological testing and compassionate guidance. As a Licensed Psychologist at LifeStance Health, she supports individuals from early childhood through older adulthood, offering developmentally attuned care to children, adolescents, teens, young adults, adults, and seniors throughout the state of New York. Abigail is deeply committed to providing accurate, thoughtful, and sensitive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations. She specializes in diagnosing autism and learning disabilities across the lifespan, as well as conducting preschool evaluations that help families understand early developmental needs. Her work is grounded in clinical precision and a strong belief in the value of early and accurate identification, particularly for children and teens whose academic, social, or behavioral challenges may be difficult to parse without expert evaluation. Much of Abigail’s passion lies in helping individuals understand the underlying factors shaping their experiences. She frequently works with concerns related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, and childhood behavior issues, in addition to supporting patients navigating school avoidance and trauma-related challenges. Her assessments are designed not only to clarify diagnoses, but also to guide practical, individualized recommendations that empower patients and families. Abigail also has extensive experience evaluating individuals with autism spectrum disorders and developmental disabilities, and she welcomes LGBTQ+ patients into a supportive, affirming testing environment. In addition to her primary areas of focus, Abigail offers additional specialized testing services. Abigail values the trust her patients place in her and approaches each evaluation with empathy, respect, and dedication. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys ballet, dancing, and synchronized swimming—creative pursuits that inspire her appreciation for the many ways people learn, express themselves, and connect.
