I provide educational therapy based curriculum, both designed by companies and created by me, in order to help bridge the gaps between how a learner is processing and what is the most effective way to approach a situation or problem.  This is done through an individualized program designed around the learners needs and abilities, highlighting and using  their strengths while simultaneously demystifying their struggles and normalizing their responses to emotional triggers in order to overcome them and focus on the task at hand.  Designed to improve academics through cognitive development in both academic and non-academic ways, educational therapy can be provided in one of three ways:

1. Direct educational therapy, with all curriculum provided being non-school related and focusing on the areas of weakness a student is struggling with.  This can include reading skills (fluidity, decoding, comprehension), math skills (fluidity, mastery, problem solving), and cognitive skills (deductive reasoning, critical thinking, logical processing).     
2. School support during the year, with the focus on applying the educational therapy skills mentioned above directly toward the student's school work and assignments.  Meant to provide guidance while simultaneously getting students through their responsibilities so they can feel good about themselves and have more free time for personal interests or overall wellbeing. 
3. A combination of the two options above, with school support mixed in with resources directly aimed at improving identified areas of weakness.  This can be done simultaneously during the school year or separated with school support during the academic year and summer work targeting the most pressing areas of need.
