MY SERVICES
Offering a supportive learning environment for children,
adolescents, and older students with learning disabilities or academic challenges.
Educational therapy helps students build underlying learning skills to become more self aware, self-reliant and better learners. It combines educational and therapeutic approaches to remediate academic skills for those who have a specific learning disability or an attention deficit disorder. Another goal of educational therapy is to improve the emotional relationship that a child/client has with learning.

What are people saying about our work together?
I am so glad we hired Louise when we did. We began going to Louise when my daughter was in 2nd grade and really struggling to read. Reading at home was fraught with tears and stress. Since then, Louise has given her the reading support and interventions she needs and helped guide us through the process to get her an IEP. For the past couple of years, Louise has supported her, advocated for her, and has helped my daughter become a more confident and fluent reader who can now enjoy the pleasure of reading.
