For individuals
Navigating neuropsychological services can be overwhelming. Dr Shapiro's clinical work focuses on helping individuals understand complex cognitive and psychological presentations, with a specialised focus on concussion. Clinical engagements begin with understanding the underlying problem to establish the most effective pathway forward.
Concussion Recovery: Assessment and brief intervention for individuals experiencing persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS), integrating psychoeducation, formulation, and practical psychological strategies.Navigating Complex Care: Specialist guidance for individuals and families navigating difficult diagnostic questions, healthcare pathways, and appropriate assessment options.
Note on availability: Dr Shapiro has a limited caseload. Availability varies and waitlists may apply.
For psychologists
Clinical Supervision supports psychologists to strengthen clinical reasoning, develop competencies in new areas, and deepen their understanding of areas of interest. Dr Shapiro is a board approved supervisor, and provides peer supervision opportunities, as well as secondary supervision to provisional psychologists and psychology registrars.
Supervision focuses on strengthening clinical reasoning, refining assessment formulations, and developing independent decision-making.
Clinical Supervision: Board-approved supervision for clinical neuropsychology registrars, peer supervision for endorsed neuropsychologists, and assessment-focused practice guidance.
Clinical Consultation: In-depth review of complex assessments, diagnostic formulations, and second opinions to inform formal reports and clinical management.
For organisations
Many organisations collect rich data but lack the structures, systems or evaluation frameworks needed to translate it into meaningful decisions. Dr Shapiro assists healthcare providers, non-profits, sporting bodies, and startups in designing evaluations, measuring outcomes, and embedding evidence into practice.Dr Shapiro prioritises collaborations based on their potential impact, methodological rigour, value alignment, and the scope of the engagement. He often collaborates with content and methodology experts from Deakin University for larger, more complex projects.
