Dr. Ralph’s practice focuses on evaluating individuals for learning disabilities, ADHD, autism and emotional/ behavioral issues. She also offers evidence-based therapy to tackle concerns related to anxiety, mood, and social adjustment.

Training and Experience

Dr. Ralph has developed her expertise and clinical interests through rigorous training experiences. While working on her Ph.D. at the University of Louisville, she provided intensive individual and family therapy to children and adolescents at Acute Child Psychiatric Services.

Furthermore, her training included working with adolescents in the juvenile justice system, conducting psychological evaluations with veterans, and guiding adults through the bereavement process.

She offered psychological testing and therapy for veterans dealing with PTSD, chronic pain, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns. In addition, Dr. Ralph served as an adjunct faculty member at Midway University. Her formal postdoc involved working with a rural population of children and adults presenting with a wide range of mental health concerns.
