Company DescriptionLA Mindworks is a comprehensive educational therapy practice, where we specialize in complexity.

Our team of clinicians are deeply trained in diverse fields: Jonathan is a biochemist and executive director, Molly is a psychotherapist specializing in the broad impacts of neurodiversity, Ingrid is a statistician who is updating diagnostic testing for autism, Tony specializes in executive functioning and STEM, Naomi and Anne are certified dyslexia specialists, Lukas has a PhD in theoretical physics, and Samara holds a doctorate in psychology focused on supporting autistic young adults. Each of us can go deep in our areas of expertise, plus we can consult with each other to help a broad range of children and adults.

Many of our clients come to us after finding that teachers and tutoring haven’t been able to bring a child to their full potential. We can help people with isolated issues, like ADHD or dyslexia, but we can also help when several issues co-occur. This can include multiple diagnosed (or undiagnosed) learning disorders in reading, writing, or math, but also mental health dysregulation such as anxiety or depression. We excel at helping people working with combinations of cognitive or affective challenges.Company DescriptionLA Mindworks is a comprehensive educational therapy practice, where we specialize in complexity. \r
