A Little About Me

I’m Jenna Palacios, a bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Educational Psychologist with over ten years of experience in education. I have worked in various school districts across San Diego, San Bernardino, LA, and Orange counties. I hold dual B.A.s in Psychology and Spanish, an M.S. in Counseling, and an Ed.S. degree in School Psychology, all from San Diego State University. My journey also took me to work in schools in Mexico, enriching my understanding of the Mexican education system and how to apply a global lens to my practice.

My Commitment To You

When you work with me, you are guaranteed to receive high-quality care and services guided by principles of radical self-love, compassion, liberation, equity, and inclusion, especially for marginalized communities. As a neurodivergent individual myself, I am passionate about empowering other neurodivergent individuals and families with neurodivergent children. I am a neurodiversity-affirming clinician, which means that I acknowledge that all neurotypes such as ADHD and Autism have unique strengths, interests, and support needs that do not need to be “fixed.”

Here’s What You Can Expect When We Work Together:

Compassionate and Affirming Care

I approach every evaluation with empathy, focusing on strengths and celebrating differences.

Thorough and Insightful Evaluations

My assessments are comprehensive, providing a clear understanding of findings and areas for growth.

Clear Communication

I excel at transforming complex assessment data into real-life applications for clients and families.

Personalized Recommendations

I create specific, tailored recommendations that fit each client’s unique support needs across various settings.

Strong Advocacy

I am a dedicated advocate for my clients and families, unafraid to engage in difficult conversations to ensure your needs are met.

Collaborative Approach

I believe in the power of community care and work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to achieve the best outcomes.

My commitment to equity and inclusion ensures that every individual receives the support and access they deserve.

A Little More About Me

When I'm not working, I love reading, roller skating, watercolor painting, doing nails, meditating, and traveling. These activities keep me grounded and inspired to continue to help others in my professional and personal time.
