"Understanding how your mind works is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning."
Dr. Fulambarkar's clinical roots run deep. She spent over six years as a neuropsychological assessor at Stanford University School of Medicine, contributing to research on the behavioral and neurological underpinnings of autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and genetic conditions including Fragile X and Prader-Willi syndromes. That work, funded by NIMH, NICHD, the National Fragile X Foundation, and the Simons Foundation, gave her an unusually rigorous foundation in the science behind the conditions she now assesses in practice.
Her assessment training began at the Autism Center of Northern California, the same multidisciplinary center where she now serves as a Clinical Assessment Supervisor. There she learned gold-standard neurodevelopmental assessment with the ADOS-2, WISC, WPPSI, WASI, and Vineland-3, and evaluated hundreds of children, teens, and adults for autism, ADHD, and learning differences. She learned early that a diagnosis is only as useful as the recommendations it produces for real life.
After a doctoral internship at CHAC and a postdoctoral fellowship at Kaiser Permanente, where she was hired on as a licensed clinical psychologist, she built depth in mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism, grief, and trauma. Her therapy training includes years at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford, supporting families of chronically and terminally ill children within a family systems framework.
Dr. Fulambarkar holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University and a B.S. in Biology from Drexel University. She is a member of the American Psychological Association and has published peer-reviewed research with Stanford and Temple University. She conducts sessions in English, Hindi, and Marathi.
She founded Insight Psychological Assessment & Therapy because she believes everyone deserves a thorough, compassionate evaluation, and because understanding how your mind works can change a life.
Attention, working memory, processing speed, and executive function, for children, teens, and adults across many profiles and life contexts.
ADOS-2 based assessment across all ages and presentations, including late-identified adults, women, and people with co-occurring conditions.
Diagnostic clarity for depression, anxiety, and related conditions, and therapy grounded in CBT and DBT skills.
Dr. Fulambarkar's academic work is grounded in the same evidence base she brings to evaluations.
