Dr. Sestito completed her pre-doctoral internship at Long Island Jewish Medical Center/Zucker-Hillside Hospital, which served a diverse group of residents in Queens and Long Island. Following completion of her doctoral degree, she received her post-doctoral fellowship training at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, TX. She worked with veterans in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including newly discharged soldiers who were coping with the impact of brain injuries and post-traumatic stress. This work led her to Mentis Neuro-Rehabilitation, a sub-acute rehabilitation center that provided a variety of rehabilitative services and therapies to help individuals with moderate to severe brain injury return to daily living. In addition to cognitive assessment, Dr. Sestito's work was focused on behavioral intervention and training the clinical team in person-centered de-escalation strategies.

Since returning to the Philadelphia area, Dr. Sestito has continued to work with adults with a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, dementia, and movement disorders. More recently, she has joined Brandywine Neuropsychology Associates and sees clients both in the office and in various community settings. Dr. Sestito's clinical approach is evidence-based and utilizes the findings of the best available current research, while focusing on the whole person and their unique experiences.
