Bio

Lora Israelsen is a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Utah. She earned her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and master’s degree from Harvard University. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at ChildServe, a large pediatric medical center in Iowa that supports the needs of children with developmental differences, disabilities, and complex medical needs. She has specialized training in the evaluation of developmental disorders and sleep disorders. Her role at the Sorenson Center focuses on the assessment of developmental disorders, including Autism, and various mental health conditions. 
Lora aims to establish a warm, collaborative relationship with families and individuals throughout the assessment process.
