Headshot of Dr. Bree McDaniel of NeuroSpark Health, specializing in autism, ADHD, and AuDHD assessments in California.

Hi, I’m Bree. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, CA. I identify as queer and neurodivergent. I center and enjoy working with people whose identities are at the margins of multiple intersections in my practice. I have had the privilege of working with neurodivergent individuals for a number of years and am committed to continuing to support this community.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, supportive, empathic, and is rooted in my lived experience. My practice is person-centered, strengths-based and draws from relational, Intersectional, and social justice frameworks.

I value healthy life-work balance and to that end I regularly engage in creative practices, meditation, movement, as well as spending time with loved ones and my community.
