Hello, my name is Dr. Lara Kroodsma and I work with parents and caregivers to answer questions about children's development, behavior, emotions, and learning. Through the assessment process I seek to support parents and other caregivers, such as teachers and doctors, by providing a clear picture of each child's unique strengths, challenges, and needs. The goal is to provide detailed, practical, and concrete recommendations that will best support each child's path to success.

I am a person that believes life is a learning experience and each day can be essential in laying the foundation for a better tomorrow.
I think the ideal client is someone who is motivated to change. I am a practitioner of positive psychology and believe that every person has tremendous resources and just needs to discover these gifts. I think the Psychologist must build upon assets and strengths. I think that humans can build pyramids or travel to the moon when given the right encouragement and belief.

As an educator for 20 years of kids ages K-college, I have experience working with neurodivergent kids, and am well versed in IEP's and other barriers to learning.
Are you feeling out of balance? Do you need help identifying what is keeping you from living your best life? Mental health is health. My approach is based on the idea that people can change and want to change, and it starts with your own thoughts, feelings and beliefs. I utilize evidence based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, EMDR and Motivational Interviewing. I hold a BA in History, MS in Education and a PhD in Education. I am also graduating with an MA in mental health counseling later this year.

None of this is easy. Maybe you're adjusting to a change, like parenting or job loss, and looking to find your identity. Maybe you're becoming aware of a problematic pattern in your life, like constant anxiety, difficulty with relationships, or intense emotions. You don't have to feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, shame, or anger any more. Let's talk about it and find some strategies to soothe it now, and stop it from reoccurring. If you're reluctant about therapy, I can reassure you that I'm not here to judge, and want to make it a safe and fun environment.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
