Are you worried that your child is not reaching his/her academic potential? Are you an adult learner who is in need of additional support to excel? Do you think you may have undiagnosed ADHD or Autism that is impacting your ability to succeed? Are you in need of an assessment resulting in targeted recommendations or diagnosis? If your answer is yes to any of these, I am here to help! My name is Crystal Patel, and I'm a Licensed Educational Psychologist with more than 12 years of experience in the field of school psychology. At Cognitive Canvas Psychology, we offer an array of assessments and counseling options to meet client needs.
Having previously worked as a full-time school psychologist, I know what is required to meet the individualized educational, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of learners as young as preschool age. My goal as a practitioner is to help clients reveal their strengths and deficiencies, so that they may be equipped with the tools to meet their potential.
I specialize in comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations, neuro-perspective psychological evaluations for educationally related purposes, IEEs, bilingual assessments, ADHD and Autism assessments, IQ/gifted testing, and mental health counseling and tele-therapy for students and adult learners of all ages. Please reach out for a free initial consultation!
