Evidence-based Biopsychosocial Collaborative
Training & Experience
Dr. Mozer has a doctoral degree in clinical psychology with specialized training and experience in neuropsychology and the brain/behavior relationship. Her graduate training program was grounded in evidence-based practice following a biopsychosocial model. Her training and work experience includes diagnosis and intervention, and clinical research experience.
Dr. Mozer’s experience includes work with patients, patients’ family members and/or caregivers, and clinical research. Her past work and training affiliations include Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Stanford, UCSF Memory and Aging Center, Palo Alto and Menlo Park VAs, Kaiser Permanente, Kingsbrook Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the University of Colorado Hospital. Past settings include inpatient acute medical and surgical services, acute physical medicine and rehabilitation, and outpatient clinics. Her experience includes work as an inpatient hospital provider consulting to other providers, conducting inpatient and outpatient therapy, conducting inpatient and outpatient neuropsychological evaluation, and provision of services to help develop neurocognitive compensatory strategies and cognitive remediation. In addition, she has experience working with high-performers and the pressures they face, technology and silicon valley culture, and her own past work experience with start-up culture.
Practically speaking, work together may include support with adjustment to difficult events in life, work pressures, family and relationship challenges, life transitions and other stressors. It could mean help with diagnosis, treatment and/or recommendations for mood and anxiety problems, or problems with memory and thinking. In addition to working with clinical problems, Dr. Mozer’s time in the Bay Area has afforded her the opportunity to work with challenges faced by high-performing, high-achieving individuals as they sort through challenges and move toward goals.

Approach
Dr. Mozer’s practice is grounded in understanding people within their context. Her approach recognizes there may be more than one contributor to symptoms, challenges and progress toward goals. She recognizes there is interconnectedness of factors in a person’s experience. Her approach is:
Evidence-based. Research-informed
Biopsychosocial. Viewing a person’s experience as a product of the interaction between biological factors, psychological factors, and social factors
and,
Collaborative. Working together with patients, and other providers if indicated, to identify challenges and progress toward goals
