Testing and therapy that make a difference.

Welcome to The Spectrum Center, LLC. The office is conveniently located about 5 minutes away from the I-295 / Rt. 70 junction in Cherry Hill. Our mission is to help you find answers to questions about your child's learning and development or help you understand your own stressors and how to cope with them in a way that works for you.

Through customized and targeted testing we work to provide answers about possible learning disabilities and differences, autism, gender identity, and ways to work with the challenges of ADHD. We strive to provide a setting where people from all backgrounds and identities feel comfortable, listened-to, and respected for the full person they are. Our office and work style are optimized to be safe and supportive for young children who may have difficulty with transitions or feel uncertain about visiting "the doctor."

Dr. Koser’s therapy approaches and techniques are grounded in research-based interventions targeted to each person's diagnosis and the treatment goals you have decided you want to address.

Todd Koser, Psy.D. - Owner and Licensed Psychologist (NJ#5549, PA#PS017696)

I earned my Master's and Doctoral Degrees in Clinical Psychology from the Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology at Widener University. I tailored my training at Widener to focus on working with children and families of all sorts. My dissertation investigated the collaborative relationship between same-sex couples and their child's school. After graduating from Widener, I completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Special People in the Northeast (SPIN), an agency specializing in serving children and teens with autism as well as their families. I am trained and experienced in autism diagnostic testing as well as testing to identify learning disabilities and differences in children and adults. I have participated in a research study with the PA ASERT team testing the effectiveness of a group social skills protocol for teens with autism or Asperger's Syndrome. I am a Licensed Psychologist and Certified School Psychologist in both New Jersey (license # SI000554900) and Pennsylvania (license # PS017696). I have extensive experience collaborating with schools and supporting parents with preparation for school evaluations and IEP review meetings. I have lived locally in the Philadelphia area for several decades and in South Jersey for over 20 years.

 

Emily Cote, PsyD - Licensed Psychologist (NJ#35SI00646900 & PA#PS019676)

I earned my Master's and Doctoral Degrees in Applied Psychology with a School Psychology focus from Rutgers University. During my graduate training, I focused on working with students with behavioral and emotional disabilities, ADHD, and other special learning needs, particularly within the context of schools. My dissertation assessed general education teachers’ experiences in working with students with disabilities. After graduating from Rutgers, I began working in a school district as a School Psychologist/Behaviorist and completed my postdoctoral training requirements for licensure at a school-based mental health center. I have experience with psychoeducational and ADHD assessment, therapy, school-based counseling, behavioral support in school and at home, and consultation with teachers and parents. I also frequently collaborate with parents in finding community mental health and behavior services. I am a Licensed Psychologist and Certified School Psychologist in New Jersey.

I earned both Master’s (Psy.M.) and Doctoral (Psy.D.) degrees at Rutgers University - GSAPP. My graduate and post-graduate experiences are with school-age children and their families across various educational contexts. I completed an internship in a PreK-12 public school setting, where I primarily serviced students with disabilities and their families. I am trained and experienced in the assessment of school-aged children and adolescents who have learning disabilities, Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Intellectual/Cognitive disability, and emotional regulation disabilities. Over the past 15 years working in public school settings, I have supported school-aged children and adolescents through school-based counseling, social skills training, executive functioning support, conflict resolution, teacher consultation and training, and parent consultation. Additionally, I work collaboratively with various stakeholders in supporting the educational needs of students. I hold a temporary permit in New Jersey (TP# 203-077).
