Gary Rempe, PhD | Pediatric Neuropsychological Testing

What do you enjoy most about the work you do?

I always look forward to connecting the dots between a child’s everyday functioning and their underlying neuropsychological strengths and weaknesses at the end of my evaluations. Identifying these relationships can be so validating for kids and their families.

What do you value most about the work you do?

I value the time I get to spend with the kids I work with and being able to provide their families with tools to better support and advocate for them.

What is something clients might never guess about you?

I played saxophone through college and was a music education major for a time before coming to psychology.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Limousine driver…I cart my family around in a mini-van these days so I guess I got close.

I am a licensed psychologist with a focus in pediatric neuropsychology practicing in Fort Collins, Colorado. I graduated with my PhD in School Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado in 2021, and I completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology with Neuropsychological Services of New Mexico in 2023. I work with children and families from all backgrounds and enjoy bringing my diverse experiences across medical, educational, and clinical settings to my evaluations. I specialize in children with medical conditions that can affect cognition (e.g., epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, genetic differences, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, prenatal exposure), as well as general neurodevelopmental concerns (e.g., ADHD, intellectual disability).

I also enjoy having a hand in research, and my interests relate broadly to pediatric traumatic brain injury, transdiagnostic classification systems, community intervention, and cultural considerations in assessment. Personally, I bounced back and forth between Montana and New Mexico growing up and lived all across the Western U.S. before landing in Colorado. In my spare time, I can be found kayaking and skiing in the Rockies with my family and friends.
