La Mindworks

LA Mindworks is a Los Angeles-based educational therapy practice helping children, adolescents, and adults develop strategies to learn more effectively. Educational therapy is a way to identify, then bridge, gaps that are impacting a person’s learning. These gaps often appear as persistent difficulties in school or work. Educational therapy can help clients with disorders in attention or executive functioning, specific learning disorders, mood disorders, or other difficulties. We typically meet with clients 1-2 hours per week in our office, often through the academic year. Indications that educational therapy is effective will vary: for one client, it may be fewer missing assignments or “surprise” exams, another will realize quantitative gains in oral reading fluency, while another may finally “get” how to write a solid essay independently. Our approach is to leverage a client’s strengths so that they can learn with strategies that will carry them through a range of classes or outside-of-school thinking.
