Dr. Boan is a licensed clinical psychologist, prescribing psychologist, and clinical neuropsychologist with over a decade of experience. She provides psychotropic medication management for adults, ages ranging from 18 to 64 years of age. She also has experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood dysregulation disorders, and psychosis.

For all age ranges, Dr. Boan provides in-depth neuropsychological assessments related to various neurological disorders, developmental disorders, mental health disorders, and for differential diagnosis. Her approach to treatment involves a combination of biological, psychological, and philosophical principles to better understand behavioral, cognitive and neurological functioning. This framework allows for a thorough conceptualization of a person’s personality, history, health, and assessment performance.
Understanding “the whole person” allows for individualized treatment that incorporates medical and holistic treatment recommendations that will help the individual and his/her family. Dr. Boan believes that treatment is most successful when recommendations are collaborative, provide immediate results, and also allow for lifestyle changes.

She then went on to earn a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Continuously advancing her efforts, Dr. Boan is an active member of the American Psychological Association, the Illinois Psychological Association, the Illinois Association of Prescribing Psychologists (Board Member), and the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology.
Psychology is the science of behavior and mind. It includes the study of conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feeling and thought. It is an academic discipline of immense scope. Psychologists assess, diagnose, and treat the psychological problems and behavioral dysfunctions resulting from, or related to, physical and mental health. In addition, they play a major role in the promotion of healthy behavior, preventing diseases and improving patients’ quality of life.
Recognized as a leader for psychology and for being the second prescribing psychologist in the state of Illinois, Dr. Boan has authored several articles about healthcare, as well as has given presentations and lectures related to brain injury and concussions. She has also spoken about the importance of outreach and health services in rural areas.
