We believe in a team-based approach to understand and support the whole child, and provide a variety of personalized services for children, caregivers, and educators.

The Psyched
Philosophy

We believe:

  • That every learner is unique, meriting a focus on the strengths, needs, and environment of each individual child.
  • In working collaboratively with families and educators.
  • That assessment should be comprehensive and data-driven.
  • That recommendations should be individualized and research-based – and that action plans should be achievable.
  • In designing plans that empower learners, promote meaningful outcomes, and increase children’s quality of life at school and in the community.

Social Justice,
Racial Equity,
& Service

We believe that, as psychologists and behavior analysts, we have a responsibility to champion equity for our youth, starting with recognizing and honoring each individual’s identity.

This means using inclusive practices and representing diverse individuals, family groups, and backgrounds, through our images and stories.

Words matter, and we believe in using gender-inclusive language in our communication. We equally understand that it is essential to consider race, ethnicity, gender, culture, religion, economic, and other factors along with other data, in order to avoid over-pathologizing youth.

Collaboration is key
to success.

 We continue find ways to connect and partner with each other and with you electronically.

When you have work that needs to be completed, you reach out to our office staff, who assigns the case to one of our psychologists or behavior specialists. Each assessment has two clinicians assigned to ensure that we have two sets of eyes on every case. The clinicians work together from start to finish, including assessment, collaboration with the team and family, and IEP development and attendance. Each district also has a client manager assigned, who oversees the services provided.

Caregiver or educator consultation and trainings

As experts in child development and purveyors of data-based decision making, our primary goal is to bridge the gap between assessment and intervention. Through virtual counseling or Pocket Coaching sessions, we work with caregivers, educators, and child-clients themselves to do just that. After all, the most meaningful support comes from those who know students best, and empowering these key players is key to lasting success.

Two psychologists or BCBAs pair together for every case.
