Hands-on creative sessions that blend learning, art, and self-expression

we’re guided by a set of values that define everything we do:

we are student-centered.

Every decision starts with what’s best for the student. We use best-practice assessments that honor each student’s backgrounds, needs, and goals to tailor a custom experience. We combine their personalized evaluations with custom therapeutic activities to meet them where they are.
we act ethically and with cultural sensitivity.

We consider how home, school, and community shape learning. We examine academic achievement from a culturally responsive lens, we also support the emotional well-being of learners, building confidence in students and faith in their abilities to reach future goals.
we value collaboration and transparency.

We incorporate input from families and schools into every report and interpretation of the student’s learning and educational needs. We offer clear recommendations that are supported by evidence-based research.
we believe there is more than numbers.

We go beyond test scores to provide clear, practical recommendations that help families and schools support student growth and well-being.

These values ensure every student we support feels seen, understood, and set up for success.

Families and schools trust us to help students rediscover confidence, creativity, and joy in learning.

what they said

“Portia’s professionalism and expertise sets her apart. She’s an exceptional school psychologist: intelligent, thorough, and deeply student-centered. I’m a better social worker because I’ve worked with her.”
– Aisha Kinslow, School Social Worker
“Dr. Randle is just the best! She loves our students and makes sure to meet them where they are. She always has a creative way to approach tough topics. Our group sessions are fun, approachable, and engaging.”
— Althea Ollie, School Counselor, K-8th Grade
“I knew my student was academically talented, but he struggled to focus and pay attention. Though his grades were fairly average, I knew something wasn't always clicking. Dr. Randle's patience and persistence helped me advocate for the accommodations my student desperately needed. I can already see changes in his grades and, most importantly, his attitude towards school.”
— Mrs. Wilson, Parent of a 7th-grade student
