Hello! I'm Dr. Allyana W. I bring a unique mix of psychology clinical skills and coaching success. I've spent over 10 years mastering complex application cycles personally and professionally. I successfully applied to top universities (like Columbia) and prestigious training sites (like Kaiser Permanente). I'm also a licensed California teacher. I was a teaching assistant for my PhD program director for several years. I've become an expert at guiding students through complex application cycles including internship and fellowship matching. This includes writing complex personal statements and creating strategic college and training site lists. I've also aced many standardized exams myself (GRE, SAT, ACT, etc.). I love sharing that expertise.

I specialize in helping neurodivergent students (ADHD, Autism). I enjoy helping students outline meaningful, authentic stories to land their dream placements. Clinically, I have special training in career counseling for older teens and young adults and this is as personal passion of mine. My PhD doctoral focus included health management for kids, executive function skill building, and complex neuropsychological assessments (IQ testing, and more). Feel free to reach out if you want to application strategy, tutoring, or even nerd out on mental health!

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I love working with neurodivergent students! This includes students with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have extensive training and experience in supporting educational advocacy and accommodations for students. I offer a unique approach: I was a classroom teacher for three years, and I've been a mental health provider for over eight years. This allows me to focus on executive function coaching to help students meet their goals. My psychology clinical background includes training in diagnostic evaluations (diagnosing ADHD, for example), so I understand the foundation of these needs completely. I'm here to empower students academically and personally!
College Counseling
