380 Maple Avenue, West, Suite 303B Vienna, Virginia 22180 703-938-5234, ext. 3 wendycarria@aol.com Wendy Carria, licensed and nationally certified school psychologist provides a variety of services to youth, from preschool to college age. I bring 20 years of experience conducting comprehensive psycho-educational testing and counseling young people, as well as providing consultation to parents and teachers. I received my undergraduate degree from Athens State College (now Athens State University), Alabama and my graduate degree from George Mason University, Virginia . I have maintained national certification in school psychology, awarded by the National Association of School Psychology (NASP), throughout my career. I maintain memberships in NASP, the Virginia Psychological Association, Academy of School Psychologists (VPA, VASP), the American Psychological Association (APA), and Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD). I am a certified trainer of the "QPR-Question, Persuade, and Refer" suicide prevention program and am a member of the Virginia Department of Health Suicide Prevention Stakeholders Committee. I have also been a participant of VA-HELP, the Virginia Higher Education Leadership Partners, a group whose mission is to lower the barriers that students with disabilities face as they transition to post-secondary settings. Most importantly, I have two daughters and two sons, all adults, whom I credit with the largest part of my education about growing up in this century. In addition to working in private practice, I continue to work full time within the public schools in Arlington, Virginia. I enjoy supporting children, teens, and parents as they work toward educational success. At times, the focus is on academic abilities, but may also include social skills and academic self-concept. Areas of particular interest are assessment, advocacy, and the process of seeking accommodations in post- secondary settings.

Clinical Psychologist, 500 N. Washington Street, Suite 101, Falls Church, VA 22046, 703-538- 3400, mlkrass@aol.com I provide play therapy and talk therapy for kids and teens. I work with kids having a range of challenges, including Asperger's Disorder, ADHD, eating concerns, anxiety, phobias and depression. I also work with their parents to develop behavior plans that are tailored to their child's personality and the family's "culture." My work with parents focuses on making sense of their child and the problematic behaviors they might display so as to best address both their child's and the family's needs. In addition, I often speak to parent and teacher groups on a variety of topics having to do with special needs children, teens and related parenting issues. |
