Hello! I’m Dr. Judith Landess
A passionate and experienced bilingual school psychologist dedicated to promoting equitable access to education and ensuring the success of all learners.

I have two young children under the age of 10, and in 2023 I was at a point in my life where I wanted like to spend more time with my family, but also continue to support high risk youth in my community. There is a national shortage of school psychologists and a critical shortage of bilingual school psychologists, and school districts have been experiencing the impact of this crisis. EduPsych is my way of providing the much needed support for school psych services, while also being able to continue to support my own family as a wife and mother.
