About me

Dr. Jessica Brett Rubinstein is a neuropsychology post-doctoral fellow under the guidance of Dr.
Solomon, specializing in adult neurocognitive disorders. Her clinical expertise spans a wide
range of neurological and systemic conditions, with a strong focus on dementia processes,
autoimmune-related cognitive impairment, chronic pain, and acquired brain injuries. She has
extensive training in the integration of structural and functional neuroimaging (MRI/fMRI) into
neuropsychological diagnostics, particularly in cases involving diagnostic ambiguity or
multifactorial cognitive decline.
Prior to moving to Athens, Dr. Rubinstein completed five years of intensive training at Harvard
Medical School-affiliated teaching hospitals before matching for her APA-accredited doctoral
residency at Penn Medicine. There, she gained specialized experience across inpatient,
outpatient, and consultation-liaison settings, including advanced assessment of
neurodegenerative diseases, neuro-oncology, rehabilitation, and cognitive effects of complex
medical and neurological conditions.
She holds a strong clinical and research interest in traumatic brain injury and sports concussion,
having worked with both collegiate and professional athletes. Her contributions to the field
include published research on neurodevelopmental vulnerabilities in concussion recovery and the
cognitive interplay between chronic pain and persistent post-concussion symptoms. Dr.
Rubinstein remains an active member of the Sports Neuropsychological Society, where she
continues to present her work and collaborate with experts in athlete brain health. A lifelong
equestrian, she is passionate about preserving brain health so athletes can sustain their passion
long-term.
Dr. Rubinstein is passionate about accurate and thoughtful diagnostic impression and empirically
validated treatment planning through sensitive, targeted assessment batteries tailored to each
individual. Whether her client is 5 or 90 years old, she takes a thoughtful, holistic, and
empathetic approach to their care.
