Educational Psychologist | School Psychologist | Systems-Based Educational & Behavioral Consultant
Kristen Nolfi, Ed.D., is an educational psychologist and consultant with over 20 years of experience specializing in psychoeducational assessment, behavioral consultation, multidisciplinary case analysis, and intervention planning across educational, clinical, and court-related settings.
Philosophy: Clarity is built. Competence follows.
Schools, families, attorneys, healthcare professionals, and multidisciplinary teams retain Dr. Nolfi for her ability to analyze complex developmental and behavioral situations and communicate precisely across distinct institutional systems. She serves as a trusted specialist in cognitive psychology, education, and forensic systems consultation.
Beginning her career as a classroom teacher in 1995, Dr. Nolfi developed a foundational focus on how individuals learn, communicate, regulate emotion, and navigate developmental challenges. Her early work at the Curtis Blake Center provided extensive clinical exposure to individuals presenting with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, language-based learning disabilities, and complex emotional regulation profiles.
Over the course of her career, her practice has spanned public education, higher education, correctional environments, and family court-related systems. Since 2006, her work has focused on psychological assessment, consultation, instruction, and research related to human cognition, personality structure, executive functioning, and child and family systems.
Dr. Nolfi has conducted more than 2,000 psychological and psychoeducational evaluations. She has worked extensively with children, adolescents, adults, and professional teams across a wide spectrum of behavioral and developmental presentations. Her cross-system experience includes facilitating communication and functional understanding for nonverbal and neurodivergent individuals, de-escalating emotional crises, participating in manifestation determination hearings, and guiding families through complex educational disputes.
Additionally, she provides expert consultation in forensic and court-related settings involving developmental disabilities, collaborating with forensic interviewers, attorneys, and psychologists when specialized behavioral insight is required to interpret complex communication or cognitive profiles.
Her practice is fundamentally educational and strategic, with a focus on strengthening communication, regulation, adaptive functioning, and objective problem-solving. By replacing situational confusion with structured, evidence-based understanding, she builds awareness and empowers individuals, families, and professionals make clearer decisions, navigate transitions more effectively, and more active management of their lives and environments.
Dr. Nolfi holds a Doctorate in Educational Psychology and completed advanced training in Child and Family Forensics through William James College.
