What People Are Saying


“Dr. Laura Katz conducted a private evaluation for our 9-year-old son, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. He felt at ease with her and her report was thorough and detailed. She walked us through the results with professionalism and care, and referred us to a mediated learning provider that proved to be exactly the right next step.

The progress our son has made since has been remarkable, and we credit Dr. Katz with putting us on the right path. She is the whole package — high EQ, genuinely relatable, and deeply qualified.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Katz for two years in my role as a director of special education.  My school district contracted with Dr. Katz for psychological testing services.  Her assessments and reports were very comprehensive and thorough.  She has such a strong understanding of dyslexia and neurodiversity, and she does a beautiful job of explaining results to families in a parent friendly way.  She is one of the best psychologists I have worked with in 30 years in education.”

“I really appreciated working with Laura. She is kind, down-to-earth, and full of great advice. She helped me to feel heard- and I felt comfortable expressing my struggles with parenting to her. She had great advice that I could easily implement and helped me to feel more calm at home. An awesome resource for parents, so grateful for her expertise!”

“In meetings, under high pressure, Laura is able to deliver sometimes difficult news with respect and professionalism. As a liaison between district, school, and parent, Laura demonstrates outstanding communication skills and an ability to positively shape outcomes to benefit both student, parents, and the district. Laura is a truly compassionate individual, a master at organization, and an excellent resource.”
