Mr Jeffrey Spike

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“Dedicated psychologist for 15+ years. Transitioned to private practice, holding titles of Licensed Educational Psychologist, Certified Clinical Tele-mental Health Services Provider, and Certified Clinical ADHD Provider.”

About Me

As a psychologist with over 15 years' experience, I help individuals navigate challenges related to learning and ADHD. My background as a Licensed Educational Psychologist and Certified Clinical ADHD Provider offers deep understanding of unique brain differences. I offer accessible tele-mental health services, allowing you to receive support conveniently from your own space. Clients appreciate my long-standing dedication and specialised knowledge.

Approach

Years of supporting clients with attention differences and learning challenges shape a straightforward, paced approach: we clarify patterns, set small experiments, and track what actually changes. Sessions from my Simi Valley office or via secure video are practical and focused, with clear agendas, brief skill practice, and time for reflection between meetings. I use careful assessment and collaborative problem-solving to tailor strategies that fit daily life. People who want structured, results-focused work that respects their pace tend to find this helpful.
