Every part of your child's world matters. We take the time to understand the whole picture so we can truly support your child.
We partner with you, their school, and other providers so support doesn't stop when the evaluation ends.
Recommendations grounded inhow your child's brain develops and processes information, so they're actually meaningful.
Everything explained in plain language, so you understand your child's strengths, their challenges, and exactly how to help them moving forward.
Behind every evaluation, every coaching or counseling session, and every family meeting is a team that genuinely cares about your child.
EmpowerED was founded by Annalise Puentes and Bethany Deniz, two Licensed Educational Psychologists who built this practice on a simple belief: every child deserves the support they need to succeed.
Together with a growing team of specialists, they've created a place where clinical excellence and genuine compassion are never in competition.


Collectively, our team has supported more than 5,000 children and families across the North Bay Area.
