Educational Therapy:
Educational therapy is a specialized approach to remediation designed to help individuals overcome learning challenges by addressing the underlying cognitive and emotional factors that affect their academic performance. Through a combination of targeted interventions and personalized strategies, educational therapy improves executive functioning, memory, organization, time management, and emotional regulation, all of which are essential for academic success and overall well-being.
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. K brings a unique lens to educational therapy by integrating psychological principles with evidence-based learning strategies. Her approach is holistic, recognizing that learning difficulties are not just academic but often intertwined with emotional and mental health factors. By assessing both cognitive and emotional needs, Dr. K customizes each session to address the root causes of academic challenges, ensuring that students not only develop the skills to succeed but also the resilience to thrive.
