Educational psychology with a personal touch
Who I am
I’m Orly Levy, a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP #4476) based in Orange County and Los Angeles County, California. For more than 20 years, I’ve been helping children, teens, and young adults find success at school and in life. I began my career working in schools, which gave me a close-up view of how learning, emotions, and confidence all connect.
I started Sunshine Educational Psychology to give families a place where they could get clear answers and a plan forward without the confusion that sometimes comes with the school system. My role is to take the guesswork out of the process, whether you’re concerned about ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), school readiness for preschool and kindergarten, or you simply want to better understand your child’s academic strengths, social-emotional needs, and executive functioning skills.
My Approach
-
I share results in everyday language so you understand exactly what they mean for your child.
-
Strategies are practical and designed to work at school and at home.
-
Every child has unique strengths and challenges, and I make sure both come through in each psychoeducational evaluation.
-
I guide you through the next steps so you feel confident and supported moving forward.
-
If ongoing support is helpful, I offer counseling for children and teens, focusing on coping tools, emotional regulation, executive functioning skills such as organization and follow through, and confidence to help them thrive at school and at home.
