At The Village Lighthouse, we know that learning and development look different for every child, teen, and adult. Whether your child is struggling in school or you're seeking answers about your own learning or emotional needs, we’re here to help guide the way. Our team includes Licensed Educational Psychologists and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), allowing us to support not only learning needs but also emotional well-being. We specialize in working with trauma and use evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices.
We offer comprehensive psychoeducational and school-based neuropsychological assessments to identify learning differences such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Autism, and mental health challenges that affect education. Our evaluations include detailed recommendations to support academic success, emotional growth, and future planning.
Our goal is to help families gain insight, uncover strengths, and feel confident about the path ahead. Whether you’re just starting to look for support or have been searching for answers for a while, we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
