Whole Mind Psychological Services provides comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations, counseling support, and school psychologist services to help students and families better understand reading challenges, learning patterns, and individual strengths.

Struggles with spelling, writing, and language-based tasks

Slow processing of written information despite strong abilities in other areas

Learning differences that may impact academic confidence and performance

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She was professional and diligent in meeting the needs of our schools. Michelle hit the road running and was instrumental in ensuring that our schools remained compliant with state and federal regulations. Her services are highly recommended, and I hope I get the chance to work with her in the future.
