RACHAEL STEVENS, Ed.S, NCSP,  LPA-T

LICENSED PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATE
As a Licensed Psychological Associate and Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP), I bring a comprehensive and holistic approach to the psychological and educational assessment of children and adolescents. My academic foundation began at Eastern Kentucky University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I subsequently advanced my training by obtaining a Master’s degree in Psychometry alongside an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology from The University of Alabama. This rigorous preparation equipped me with specialized expertise in standardized measurement, cognitive assessment, and evidence-based educational interventions.

My professional background spans both public education and private clinical practice, allowing me to understand a child's development across diverse environments. Serving as a past school psychologist within the Kentucky public school system, I have extensive experience conducting comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for students ranging from preschool through high school. In this role, I collaborated closely with multidisciplinary school teams, educators, and families to analyze academic, behavioral, and emotional barriers to learning, ensuring that interventions supported the child holistically.

Now, in private clinical practice, I continue to conduct specialized psychological evaluations for children aged three and older. My diagnostic experience includes assessing for a wide range of neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions, including but not limited to Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and anxiety disorders. By integrating objective diagnostic data with collaborative input from families and educators, I strive to provide clear, actionable pathways that support each child's cognitive, social-emotional, and academic growth.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones (cats included), weight-lifting, and traveling whenever and wherever. I strive for adequate work-life balance.
