Lorena Byrod, M.A., Licensed Educational Psychologist
Founder of Cognitive Compass Educational Psychology

I’ve been dedicated to supporting learners since 2016, when I began my career as a speech therapist working in public schools, non-public settings, and private practice. My passion for understanding how students learn and thrive led me to pursue a Master’s in Education, which I completed in 2020 to become a credentialed school psychologist and later a Licensed Educational Psychologist to expand into private practice.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with TK–12 students across a wide range of educational environments. I specialize in comprehensive psychoeducational assessments and collaborative consultation, working closely with families and school teams to better understand each student’s unique learning profile.

I believe that every learner is different, and my goal is to help uncover the strategies and supports that empower them to succeed—both academically and emotionally. Whether through assessment, counseling, or consultation, I’m here to help students build confidence, access the right resources, and reach their full potential.
