So that you may be familiar with Dr. Kalinian's qualifications, following is a short description of of her professional background.
Before pursuing a career in psychology, Dr. Kalinian worked as a CT/MRI scan technologist. It was during this time that she became interested in brain-behavior relationships. Surely, a person with an abnormal brain scan behaved differently than one with a normal one? How did these abnormalities affect a person's quality of life? What is the relationship between brain dysfunction and behavior? How can a person have "normal" brain scan results and still complain of problems with memory, thinking, and behavior? Questions such as these piqued her curiosity and lead her on a career path to become a Clinical Neuropsychologist.
Doctor Kalinian obtained a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice, a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Forensic Psychology,a Master of Science (M.S.) in Clinical Psychology, and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical Psychology with specialty certification in Neuropsychological Assessment.
Doctor Kalinian completed a Predoctoral Internship in Neuropsychology at UC-Davis Medical Center and a Postdoctoral Fellowship training in Neuropsychology at UC-San Francisco's General Hospital.

Doctor Kalinian is a member of the American Psychological Association (Division 40-Cllinical Neuropsychology), National Academy of Neuropsychology, and California Psychological Association.
