Brenda Simonian

3+ years of experience in ABA (applied behavioral analysis) with a special interest in cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), SPECT brain imaging, and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation).

My most relevant and recent experiences include working with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD in their homes and classrooms. My research experience has primarily been with women and maternity health, which allowed me to present an IRB-approved study on doulas' states of stress and burnout at the 28th Annual Student Research and Creative Works Symposium at Cal-State Northridge in January 2024. 

Graduated with Honors in May 2024 from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I am now pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University.
