EDUCATION THERAPY & COACHING FOR ADHD

Their Success Is
Everything to Me

My son struggles with focusing and staying on task. Some days are worse than others. So we set out to find someone who could help him with tools to stay focused and on task.

Christine has done just that. She has been one of his biggest supporters. She’s given him tools and confidence. She has a way of connecting with him and getting him excited about small tasks.

We’ve seen so many changes in him. We are excited to see him continue to grow and learn. Thank you Christine for all that you’ve done and continue to do for him!

Parent of a 6th grader

Love working with Dr. Christine Powell as she has made me a better Educational Psychologist. Her experience as a classroom teacher and academic test administrator has helped me truly understand the connections between assessments and classroom instruction.

Christine’s unique ability to connect with students makes her a powerful, positive force in the lives of the students she works with.

I highly endorse her for her expertise and ability to make a difference in the skills of individuals fortunate enough to work with her.

Dr. Edwin Mils
Educational Psychologist (UCLA)

School is super hard for me because of focusing problems, especially now that I am in 8th grade and school is in the classroom but we also do stuff online.

Dr. Christine helps me with goal setting, breaking up assignments into parts, and making a plan to get my (school) work done.

My mom is so much less stressed and I am stoked that I am getting better grades than last year.”
