Delaney Wells is continuing for a second year at Summit Center’s Walnut Creek office, where she provides psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessments and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and young adults. She is currently a fourth-year doctoral student at the Wright Institute, where she also received her M.A. in clinical psychology. Delaney utilizes evidence-based practices to inform her strengths-based, relational, and integrative approach, which pulls from evidence-based practices, attachment theory, and play therapy, all through the lens of honoring the whole person.
While at Summit Center, Delaney has worked with clinical presentations in psychotherapy including giftedness, twice-exceptionality, anxiety, depression, obsessional compulsive disorder, chronic pain, and clients who were adopted. She has completed neuropsychological and neuroeducational evaluations for diagnoses including dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, ASD, PDA, GAD, and other learning and processing differences. She works collaboratively with all members of the client’s care constellation, including parents, school teams, other providers, and Summit Center staff. Delaney previously worked at the Berkeley Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Clinic, providing mental health services to adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma. At this clinic, she conducted psychological assessments primarily for older adults and worked as an Emotion Efficacy Therapy (DBT and ACT) group facilitator. Additionally, Delaney worked at Lighthouse Community Charter School in Oakland and provided trauma-informed individual therapy to students ages 5-15 and therapy groups focusing on self-confidence and social skills.
