Dr. Green received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from New York University.

Dr. Green is a recognized expert in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, having served as co-principal investigator on a number of clinical trials that evaluated treatments for this condition.

In 1996, Dr. Green founded The Memory Enhancement Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, a unique and innovative approach to enhancing memory fitness in healthy adults of all ages. The success of this widely praised program led to the publication of Dr. Green’s popular self-help book, Total Memory Workout: 8 Easy Steps to Maximum Memory Fitness (Bantam Books, 1999), which is now in its ninth printing and has been translated into four languages. Dr. Green’s other books include Through the Seasons (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008; with Joan Beloff), an activities book for memory-challenged adults and their caregivers; and Brainpower Game Plan: Food, Moves, and Games to Clear Brain Fog, Boost Memory, and Age-Proof Your Mind in 4 Weeks (Rodale, 2009), which features a 30-day “game plan” based on sound science that trains and encourages adults to build better brain health habits through regular exercise, proper diet, and simple, yet practical, brain-training techniques. Written with the editors of Prevention magazine, Brainpower is currently receiving rave reviews from both readers and clinicians who treat memory disorders.

Dr. Green maintains a private practice in New York City. Originally from Greensboro, N.C., she currently resides in northern New Jersey with her husband and their three children.
