Respect, inclusion, and acceptance at the Shapiro BrainHealth Group
As a psychologist, my work is rooted in respect for human dignity.

Sport Concussion Management: Who Should Evaluate And Manage Sports Concussions?
Who should be responsible for sports concussion management and evaluation? Like blind men and elephants… I realize that my subtitle may not be worded in the most appropriate manner, but I used it anyway because it’s an apt analogy, that of multiple persons who cannot see, standing around an elephant and trying to figure […]
There’s No Place Like Home!
Why Charlotte? I have spent most of my life and professional career in other cities, and most of that time in Atlanta with some of my closest childhood friends nearby.
