A practice informed by research
Her doctoral research focused on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Parkinson’s disease, an area rarely covered in private practice in QuĂ©bec. She has presented her work at international neuropsychology conferences and takes part in clinical studies in neurodegenerative disorders.
Neuropsychologist in Montréal, Dr. Sabrina Diab, Psy.D.
The clinician behind every assessment.
Dr. Sabrina Diab is a psychologist qualified to practice neuropsychology and a member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (licence 15108-23). Holder of a clinical doctorate in neuropsychology (Psy.D.) from UQAM, she practices privately in Montréal, with particular expertise in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. She has also received training in twice-exceptionality. Dr. Diab received ADI-R and ADOS-2 training at the Montreal Neurological Institute, affiliated with McGill University, for the assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Professional Background
Training rooted in research and clinical practice
Dr. Diab completed her clinical doctorate in neuropsychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in 2023. Her doctoral internships took her to the Montreal Neurological Institute and the Jewish General Hospital Memory Clinic, two settings recognized for their work in clinical neurology and neuropsychology of aging.
Academic and Clinical Path
Four milestones in Dr. Diab's path
Her path combines academic research, clinical internships, and private practice.

Areas of Expertise
Three clinical focus areas at the heart of the practice
The practice is organized around three complementary areas that reflect Dr. Diab’s training, research, and clinical interests.
Neurodevelopment
Assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders: ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, learning disabilities, dyspraxia, and intellectual disability.
Clinical Neurology and Aging
Assessment of acquired or progressive neurological conditions: concussions, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease, and mild cognitive impairment.
Research and Clinical Pharmacology
Ongoing involvement in clinical studies in neurodegenerative disorders and collaboration in the training of pharmaceutical clinicians. Clinical practice is informed by the most recent research in the field.
Doctoral Research | Doctoral thesis (Psy.D.) · Université du Québec à Montréal · 2023
Mood and sleep symptoms in Parkinson's disease in relation to mild cognitive impairment
Doctoral research directly informs clinical practice. Below is the publication that embodies Dr. Diab’s specialization in the neuropsychology of aging.
The research explores the links between mood symptoms, sleep disturbances, and the emergence of mild cognitive impairment in people living with Parkinson’s disease. The study combines neuropsychological assessment, neurological examination, and polysomnography to characterize a clinical profile rarely documented in private practice in QuĂ©bec.
