About

The Village Lighthouse, a psychoeducational assessment and therapy practice in Carlsbad Village, serves children, adolescents, and adults from 2892 Jefferson Street in the 92008 ZIP code. Licensed Educational Psychologists and an LMFT on staff administer standardized batteries for dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder — a diagnostic scope that intersects with the sport and academic performance evaluation offered at the Center for Performance Psychology. Therapeutic modalities include CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based interventions tailored to school-age developmental stages, with educational advocacy services that help families navigate IEP and 504-plan processes within Carlsbad Unified School District. The Jefferson Street office sits two blocks from State Street in the walkable Village core near the Carlsbad Farmers Market. Families considering independent-school placement after assessment often coordinate admission evaluations with institutions such as Pacific Ridge School on the east side of Carlsbad. The practice's most complex evaluations involve full school-based neuropsychological batteries combining cognitive, achievement, executive-function, and social-emotional measures across two to three testing sessions.
