Alyssa Peterson

Alyssa Peterson, EdS, NCSP, understands that adversities in life can hinder mental availability for learning, potentially widening achievement gaps and increasing the risk for school failure. For those navigating a long road of challenges towards academic success, school psychological services offered by Alyssa serve as the antidote to unlocking new heights in learning and life. Her practice is firmly rooted in resilience, focusing on empowering children and families to overcome barriers and reach their greatest potential. Through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, screenings, and evaluations, Alyssa provides essential support for unlocking strengths in the classroom and beyond. Parents who believe their children are capable of achieving more academically or who wish to explore their child’s aptitude will find tailored assessments that screen or evaluate areas such as cognitive/intellectual functioning, academic achievement, language development, social-emotional or behavioral development, and adaptive functioning. Alyssa’s services and programs are inspired by the unique needs of underrepresented populations within public school systems. While school psychological services are available at local districts free of charge, the benefits of establishing a relationship with a dedicated private practitioner like Alyssa can provide special attention to each family's unique needs.
