Meet the Founder
Noah E. Sideman, PsyD, MEd, NCSP, CBIS
Dr. Sideman is a husband, father, avid gravel cyclist, and lover of nature that has a passion to help others through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. He is a trained neuropsychologist, licensed psychologist, and national certified school psychologist that has years of experience working with individuals across the lifespan. What is unique to him as a clinician is that he teaches and has conducted neuroscience research which allows him to provide scientifically informed treatment and information to clients.
Early in Dr. Sideman’s career he worked in community mental health and as a school psychologist in Bucks County, PA. Once he began his doctoral studies, he developed a deep interest in neuroscience and neuropsychology which has fueled his career path ever since. After finishing his two years of formal post-doctoral training in neuropsychology and briefly working in a Philadelphia group practice, he opened his own mental health practice in Philadelphia in the summer of 2020. Currently, the practice has two locations in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia and Lancaster) and supports the neuropsychological and mental health needs of individuals across the lifespan. He is also an adjunct professor in the School of Professional and Applied Psychology at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and an active board member of the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania (BIAPA).
His specialty is providing neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults with neurodevelopmental concerns (learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, ect.), brain injuries, concussions, and other neurological conditions either in the form of an initial diagnostic evaluation or as a part of the ongoing treatment for a condition. He also specializes in providing treatment for these conditions which is research based and infused with a neuroscientific understanding of the issues at hand. Additionally, he is often an expert for forensic evaluations and conducts Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE’s) for school districts across the state.

"As the ACE study has shown, child abuse and neglect is the single most preventable cause of mental illness, the single most common cause of drug and alcohol abuse, and a significant contributor to leading causes of death such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and suicide."
