I am an experienced School and Clinical-Child Psychologist. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families. I provide comprehensive and tailored psychological and psychoeducational evaluations. I also provide play therapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) one-one and in groups to help children with anxiety, mood, attention, behavioral concerns. Being a parent is a rewarding experience, but our children sometimes have challenges and need some additional support. Perhaps, your child is experiencing learning difficulties at school or is struggling to make friends or listen to teacher instructions.

I, Dr. Edwina Hamilton Bell, am dedicated and passionate about what I do as a Clinical Psychologist. I am effective at utilizing the therapeutic relationship to identify individual strengths and to promote positive emotional and psychological change. I specialize in conducting comprehensive psychological and psycho-educational evaluations for adults and children.

Dr. Kity D. Laboriel is a Florida licensed clinical psychologist with both a wide and deep range of experience providing services to children, adults and families. For the last years, Dr. Laboriel worked as the Mental Health Specialist for the Head Start and Early Head Start Program in Broward County Public Schools. She believes that early identification and intervention is imperative to the prospect for success in life. This is particularly important with the significant increase in developmental delays in early childhood, behavioral disorders, and pervasive developmental concerns such as Autism.

Working with children and adolescents in the public schools has provided me with contacts and experience that I can use to help you manage what's best for your child. Learning difficulties are being looked at in new ways, especially in Florida and I can help you make sense of it. In addition, I have spent the last few years researching the effects of Sports Related Concussions on student-athletes and can provide consultation, baseline assessment, and follow-up for your child.

My focus is on psychoeducational and psychological testing for children, teenagers and young adults who are having academic, emotional, social or behavioral difficulties. The first step in any assessment is establishing a strong relationship with the family and/or child to ensure valid and reliable results. Assessments are individualized for each client and consist of but are not limited to standardized tests, self-report, parent and teacher checklists, direct observations, formal and informal interviews and gathering of background information.

Why is my child having difficulties in school? Why is my child reading below grade level when practice reading at home every night? Why is my toddler not talking yet? What can I do if I feel my child is smart and needs more challenge at school? Why can my child not sit still for more than two minutes or follow direction? If you have found yourself asking these questions about your child, it may be time for you to consider a psychoeducational or psychological evaluation for him/her. A psychoeducational evaluation can help pinpoint why your child may be struggling and assist in determining interventions to help your child succeed.

Families seek my services to receive answers to their questions regarding their child's learning and/or behavior. Typical concerns include learning disabilities (i.e., dyslexia), giftedness, intellectual functioning, ADHD, developmental delays, and Autism. My ideal client is one who is looking for a clinician who can diagnose, consult, and collaborate to provide meaningful recommendations and resources to bridge the gap between their child's school, home, and community.

Are you looking for support for your child, adolescent, or young adult, or support through the hardest job in the world (parenting)?

My goal is for every student to feel their personal best. I want my clients to realize their abilities and attain everything they want to achieve. I empower your student, by helping him or her realize strengths and provide skills to overcome or compensate for challenges. We ALL have some attention deficit, anxiety, depression, learning, and autism spectrum disorder characteristics that interfere at times. Private psychological testing helps us know when these behaviors or feelings are beyond what is age expected and how it may hinder success. Individual therapy helps us learn to minimize the negatives, feel confident and be happy.

I provide comprehensive, professional psychological services in a private, confidential, compassionate and comfortable setting. The goal of all therapy interventions is to empower individuals to lead healthier, happier and more productive lives as they navigate their own paths.

If you're seeking answers for a brighter academic or professional journey, testing is your gateway to clarity, understanding, and empowerment.

I believe that problems are a part of life. It is not the presence of problems that determines our health and well-being, but what we do when we encounter them. My mission is to help my clients find solutions that will lead to personal happiness. I specialize in Individual, Adolescent, Family, Couples Counseling & Psychological Assessment.

I have worked in various settings including schools, medical centers, and university-based clinics.

I have a 100% online practice, and I especially enjoy working with young adult clients who are in transition—into college or adulthood—and are motivated to learn techniques to grow and evolve. I especially love helping teens and young adults w/ High Functioning Autism, ADHD, LD, or Social Anxiety navigate college, work, or life. Making improvements in one's life takes time and energy both inside the virtual therapy room and in daily life, and I believe that learning concrete skills to implement outside of therapy is necessary to make progress.
