Sandra E. Clifton, M.Ed., PCC, CEP, CDP, BCET
Board Certified Educational Therapist
As a coach who trained in Emotional Literacy at Yale University, I now provide educational therapy for Highly Sensitive Students and Twice-Exceptional Teens. My private practice is a safe space of learning to support overwhelmed individuals who struggle with issues of perfection, motivation, organization, anxiety and learning differences. I share a special affinity with both athletes and artists who shine with strengths outside of school—but may encounter challenges with critical thinking skills, literacy, time management, confidence, and/or academic insecurities in the classroom. I know that young people are incredibly capable of succeeding both on and off the court, and love helping to create the right tools to support each of my clients.
As a Certified Educational Planner with AICEP, I also guide parents through curriculum decisions and school transitions to create more joy in the journey of learning, as well as provide parent coaching.
