A Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) is a credentialed school psychologist who has met additional licensing requirements to work independently in private practice. LEPs specialize in psychoeducational evaluations, consultations, and mental health supports related to learning and development.

It’s a comprehensive assessment of how a student learns, thinks, behaves, and processes information. These evaluations typically explore cognitive abilities, academic achievement, executive functioning, processing skills, and social-emotional development.

Evaluations typically take 4–6 weeks from intake to final report, depending on the referral question, testing schedule, and any school collaboration needed. I’ll always give you a clear timeline up front!

Yes! Many components of the evaluation can be completed virtually, and I also offer in-person services depending on your location. We’ll decide together what works best for your child and the referral question.

Not at this time. BridgEdPsych is a private-pay practice, but I can provide a superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
