Dr. Catherine Stolove, PHD

Dr. Catherine Stolove, Ph.D. is a clinical neuropsychologist with expertise in the cognitive assessment of individuals who present with a broad range of neurological conditions. She has considerable experience working with patients presenting with dementia, movement disorders, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, central nervous system infections, brain tumors, anoxic/hypoxic injury, stroke, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, mood disorders, and learning disorders.

Dr. Stolove attended Tufts University for her undergraduate studies in biology and Spanish. A keen interest in brain-behavior relationships leads her to pursue graduate education in psychology. She earned her master’s degree in general psychology from the New School for Social Research and her doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. During her predoctoral internship at NYU Langone Medical Center, Rusk Rehabilitation, she gained experience in assessment, psychotherapy, and cognitive remediation in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center in the epilepsy division, where, in addition to conducting neuropsychological evaluations, she also honed skills in intraoperative and extraoperative language mapping and Wada testing. In addition to working with Dr. Iospa’s practice, she holds a faculty position in the Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Dr. Stolove’s research interests include the psychophysiology of emotion regulation, as well as factors that promote resilience in the face of stressful life events, and she has published in these areas. In addition, she has a particular interest in psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and neurological processes that disrupt language. She has given professional presentations in the assessment of aphasia/language disorders.

Dr. Stolove is fluent in Spanish, and the assessment of monolingual speakers has been central to her clinical training and practice. She values a holistic, person-centered approach to assessment and takes into account the multitude of factors that may affect an individual’s level of functioning and psychological wellbeing. In cognitive assessment, she aims to look beyond test results to consider every patient as an individual, and she tailors her feedback and recommendations to each of her patients.
