Meet the Brains behind the Center for
NeuroPotential

Our clinicians are therapists in Guilford, CT

Our Story

In 2008, Deb applied for a counseling job at a Neurology Medical Practice and was interviewed by their senior Neuropsychologist, Amy. Deb got the job, and the rest is history. They instantly connected and began a professional relationship, personal friendship, and commitment to discovering the potential in every client they work with. Amy is a self-proclaimed “brain nerd” while Deb is a mindfulness and trauma expert. Together, they are the brains behind the Center for Neuropotential.

After founding the Center for NeuroPotential, Amy and Deb quickly realized that their services were in high demand. They were excited to add additional clinicians as well as neurofeedback technicians!

Amy Palmer, PsyD, BCN, QEEG-DL

Meet Amy Palmer, PsyD, BCN, QEEG-DL (she/her)

People come to me because they feel that somehow their brain just isn’t working the way it’s supposed to. I love putting the pieces together for clients to help them see the bigger picture.  Knowledge is power, and with that knowledge we can collaborate to form an individualized treatment plan.  A cornerstone for helping others reach their potential is through the use of neurofeedback, and I am proud to be a board-certified neurofeedback provider and to have earned diplomate status in QEEG analysis.

When not in the office, you likely will find me out for a run, reading a book, or searching on Pinterest for the next recipe I want to try. My two little girls keep me laughing every day, and help me appreciate the silliness in life.

Deb Del Vecchio-Scully, LPC, NCC, BCN, DCMHS

Meet Deb Del Vecchio-Scully, LPC, BCN (she/her)

I love listening to people’s stories and supporting the healing process of reassembling pieces that no longer fit well. My role is as a guide, supporting healing from trauma and difficult life events.

I hold Diplomat status as a Trauma specialist, am a certified Yoga Therapist, hold EMDR certification, and  I am proud to be a board-certified neurofeedback provider.

As a Trauma Specialist, I served as the Newtown Clinical Recovery Leader following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.

In my free-time, you are likely to find me  walking in nature, playing with my nieces and nephews or practicing yoga. I devote myself to being centered and finding time to laugh, to breathe, to move and for quiet reflection to foster brain health and well-being.

Joann Guay, LPCA

Meet Joann Guay, LPC, NCC

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a vital component of the healing process, and I strive to create an environment characterized by empathy, trust, and respect. My goal is to collaborate with clients in setting achievable goals and fostering positive change. I am dedicated to helping clients develop effective coping strategies, enhance their self-awareness, and cultivate a greater sense of empowerment.

I am an EMDR-certified therapist with a focus on supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I provide trauma-informed care to help clients process and heal from distressing life experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, practicing piano, and being outdoors.

Lauren Ruth

Lauren Ruth, Ph.D., LMFT-A

Lauren brings a deep background in psychology, systems theory, and eating disorders to her therapeutic work. Using an interpersonal neurobiology framework, Lauren integrates attachment theory with evidence-based and experiential practices to support healing from trauma, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, chronic illness and pain, and relational challenges. She is passionate about creating collaborative spaces where clients feel empowered to connect with their bodies, their inner wisdom, and their community in new and meaningful ways.

In her free time, you will find Lauren digging up carrots from her garden, baking sourdough, and hosting dinner parties.

Emily Rubin

Emily Rubin, LPC-A

Virtual Trauma Focused Therapy

Sometimes we just need space – space to breathe, space to process, space to trust and space to foster the safety required for healing to blossom. As a therapist, I strive to maintain a calm, supportive and non-judgemental therapeutic environment for my clients as they move through life’s difficulties.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist with a focus on trauma, sobriety and major life transitions. I earned my bachelors in Counseling & Human Services and Psychology from the University of Scranton, and my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University, with a focus on substance use disorders.

In my free time you can find me running around with my two toddlers and exploring nature or finding some peace and focus in a good book or board game.
