Welcome to my practice! 

I'm happy you're here. 

My name is Narges Izadi and I am a bilingual Licensed Educational Psychologist and Diplomate of the American Board of School Neuropsychology working privately, and a credentialed School Psychologist serving the public school system. 

Often, I meet my clients and their families in their most challenging moments. Through evidence-based and mindful exploration, I work with my clients to unravel their lived challenges, and guide them toward a more healthy, happy and fulfilling sense of self and educational experience. This process often includes comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations to understand individual strengths and areas for growth, parent consultation and advocacy, consultation with schools, assessments for educationally related mental health services, and therapy curated to meet the educationally-related emotional needs of clients. 

My experience spans all educational echelons and a diverse array of settings, consistently dedicated to championing students navigating unique developmental, emotional, and learning landscapes. My passion is supporting children, adolescents and young adults who, for one reason or another, have struggled to engage with the conventional educational system. As a school neuropsychologist, I possess a deep understanding of neural pathways and development as they pertain to the educational experience. I specialize in the assessment of students with cognitive/processing, emotional and executive functions needs, often placed in residential treatment, or other alternative settings. I work extensively with public and private educational entities on transition planning in preparation for the successful reintegration of students following inpatient/residential treatment. I apply an in-depth knowledge of school- and community-based resources, trauma-informed practices, and therapeutic techniques to support my clients and families navigate difficult times, challenging emotions and lapses in communication, with a strong focus on prevention of placement in restrictive/residential settings. 

Additionally, as a bilingual professional, I bring a nuanced understanding of bilingual brain development, functioning, and processes. This specialized insight allows for comprehensive and culturally responsive assessment and support for individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds, acknowledging the cognitive strengths of bilingualism. 

The focus of all psycho-educational evaluations is to foster a sense of agency and empowerment in my clients - regardless of their age. Through this process, students, families and educators will come to understand the lived implications of each students' cognitive profile, and will be provided with tangible recommendations to enhance their educational experience. I believe that every student's learning potential can be unlocked through the power of care.
