Alicia Francois, PsyD Candidate

Alicia Francois is a Psychological Associate with Oak Health Center. She is currently in the final phase of completing her clinical hours and is a Psy.D. doctoral candidate at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, LosAngeles. Alicia earned her B.A. at Claremont McKenna College and her M.S. from the University of Southern California. She has extensive experience administering neuropsychological assessment and working with students who have learning differences. Before transitioning into the field of psychology, Alicia spent many years working with elementary, middle, high school, and college students in various capacities, including helping them to build their executive functioning, organizational, study, and academic skills. As a learning specialist, she helped students who have been diagnosed with different neuropsychological disorders to reach and exceed their educational and developmental benchmarks. While learning the skills to process and regulate one’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions at an early age is invaluable and can help to improve mental health, behavior, and overall quality of life, it is also essential to asses and accurately diagnose learning disorders so that your child can develop the appropriate skills and tools to be successful, independent learners. Ms. Francois is honing her skills in both areas and is dedicated to addressing the needs of the whole child.
