Dr. Bensimhon lives in Greensboro, NC with her husband, their 2 sets of twins (3 boys and 1 girl, now much older than in this picture!), and their black lab and kitten.  A transplant from the northeast, Dr. Bensimhon earned her medical degree at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She completed a pediatrics residency at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, followed by a pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship at Duke University Hospital. She joined the Brenner Childrens’ Hospital Pediatric Hematology-Oncology team, and loved her work there.  Ultimately, however, her experience of living in a family touched by ADHD and other mental health issues brought about a new passion in providing resource and support for other families also facing such challenges.  What began with providing educational talks and facilitating a support group became a change of focus within her professional field.  Her current work combines a long-standing love for, and foundation in, pediatric medicine, child development, and education, with personal experience and a driving interest in the science of the brain, learning, mood, and attention, and what can be done to help children and adolescents attain success and happiness.
