Hi, I am Dr. Hurley. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Richmond, Virginia.

I've spent over a decade conducting psychological evaluations. Kids, veterans, disability cases, general ADHD and autism assessments. I've worked across a lot of populations and a lot of contexts.

And what I kept noticing, across all of it, was that I was most energized by the cases that required real analytical work. The ones where the stakes were high, the documentation had to be airtight, and getting it right actually mattered in a concrete, measurable way. Not "how does this make you feel" but "here's what the data shows, here's what it means, here's what you need." That's what led me to high-stakes exam accommodations.

The clients I work with are preparing for some of the most important exams of their lives. The LSAT, bar exam, MCAT, USMLE. They're smart, driven, and have gotten this far largely by outworking everyone around them. But timed, high-pressure standardized exams can expose gaps that grit and preparation alone can't close. And when those gaps are real and documentable, they deserve documentation that reflects that, thorough, defensible, and written for the specific exam board reviewing it.

I like this work because the outcome is tangible. We start with questions, work through a structured evaluation process, and end with a clear, well-supported report. You know what we found, why it matters, and what to do next. That clarity is something I find genuinely satisfying to provide, and something my clients consistently tell me they needed.

I'm also drawn to the advocacy piece. These aren't people gaming the system. They're high-achievers who have been compensating for real challenges, often for years, without ever having them formally identified. Getting them the documentation they need to compete on a level playing field is work I feel good about.

I'm not a therapist at heart, I'm an evaluator. I like figuring things out. I like using data to answer hard questions. And I like working with people who are ready to get answers and move forward.

A little more about my background:

I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Richmond, Virginia, authorized to practice telepsychology in 40+ states through PSYPACT. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Ball State University and am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. My training and continuing education has focused specifically on psychological and neuropsychological assessment, including telehealth-based assessment, which means my remote evaluations meet the same clinical standards as in-person testing.

I've worked across a wide range of evaluation contexts over my career, which gives me a broad clinical foundation for the specialized work I do now.
