Jesse Peterson, PsyD
Jesse Peterson, PsyD, is a Doctor of Psychology practicing neuropsychology at Bellin Health in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Dr. Peterson’s interest in concussions and cognition began while playing DIII college football at Lawrence University in Wisconsin when the team completed its cognitive “baseline testing” during preseason camp. After reading the writing on the wall, which indicated that slow, short running backs with bad hands had no opportunities to continue playing football after college, Dr. Peterson quickly transitioned into graduate school with a special interest in neuropsychology.
Dr. Peterson earned his PsyD at Wheaton College, where he wrote his dissertation on the performance validity indicators of a popular concussion assessment tool. He completed his predoctoral internship at the University of Missouri's wing of the Missouri Health Sciences Psychology Consortium. He went on to complete postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Missouri and the University of Wisconsin to gain broad experience with adult neuropsychology patients, conducting outpatient and inpatient evaluations for patients experiencing traumatic brain injuries of all severities, dementia, stroke, epilepsy, and other neurologic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and psychiatric complications.
Though a neuropsychological generalist, a large portion of Dr. Peterson’s current patients include individuals experiencing the subacute and chronic cognitive effects of traumatic brain injuries, including concussions.
