His areas of specialization include neuropsychological assessment, clinical assessment, ADHD and executive dysfunction, bipolar disorder, psychosis and thought disorders, trauma, addiction and recovery, life transitions, and complex clinical presentations.

Dr. McTaggart’s approach emphasizes looking beneath the surface of symptoms to understand patterns in emotion, self-concept, relationships, behavior, and life history. At Launch, his assessment-informed perspective helps the team clarify what a young adult is struggling with, what kind of support they need, and how to help them move toward greater functioning, confidence, and independence.

Dr. McTaggart earned his Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute, his M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver, and completed an APA-accredited postdoctoral fellowship in Rehabilitation Psychology at Hurley Medical Center.
