Dr. Nicole Llerena Gonzalez

Licensed Psychologist

I am deeply committed to understanding and nurturing the unique academic and emotional needs of your child.

Is your child requiring extra time to complete academic tasks and assignments?

Is your child struggling with attention and concentration?

Are you questioning why your child isn’t reading at grade level?

If you’re noticing your child struggling in school or if they seem to be falling behind their peers, let me assure you, I’m here to help illuminate their path to success.

Identify, Empower, Excel

In my comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations, I delve deep into understanding each child’s distinctive learning profile. I believe in the incredible potential within every child, and it begins with recognizing their individual needs and strengths.

How I can help…

  • Detailed Assessments: My evaluations are extensive, covering areas such as intelligence (IQ), academic skills in reading, math, and writing, attention, visual processing, memory and learning, as well as social and emotional well-being.
  • Inclusive Approach: I believe in a holistic understanding, gathering insights not just from tests but also from teachers and other significant figures in your child’s life.
  • Timely and Thorough: I am committed to conducting these evaluations efficiently, providing timely insights into your child’s cognitive, academic, social, emotional, and behavioral strengths and needs.
  • Tailored Recommendations: Beyond identifying areas for growth, I provide practical, actionable recommendations for parents, teachers, and counselors, designed to support both the personal and academic growth of your child.
