About me

Hi, I am Christina K Almeida, a psychologist, early years teacher, certified autism specialist, and certified parent coach. With over 10 years of experience in education, psychology, child development, and neurodiversity, you can feel assured I understand what children and parents need to thrive.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had a passion for working with children and families. From becoming a psychologist, a school counselor, to teaching children on the autism spectrum, and spending most of my career in early years education. The importance of early years education plays such a vital role in overall child development. Watching children grow and learn was an endless source of amazement to me, and I truly loved watching the progress.
