About Us

Dr. Alessandra Chiesa (also known as “Dr. C”) is a multicultural trilingual Florida Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Florida Certified School Psychologist.  She is Italian-American by origin, was born and raised in Latin America, and came to the United States to complete her higher education.  She completed her undergraduate degree at Emory University and post-graduate studies in Psychology at Connecticut College and the University of Connecticut.  Dr. Chiesa has over 20 years of experience working with children and their families in school settings, community mental health centers, and psychiatric inpatient hospitals. 

In her private practice work, Dr. Chiesa is committed to bridging the gap between parents, schools, the community, and children when conducting Psychoeducational Testing.  Through Psychoeducational Testing, she aims to gather and weave together information from the family, the school, community providers, and her professional observations during testing to reach a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of each child she works with.  Once she completes an evaluation, she uses test results to generate recommendations and a comprehensive intervention plan tailored to the child.  Results and recommendations are shared through a written report, as well as through verbal feedback.  Verbal feedback may include an in-person meeting, a telephone conference, and/or a virtual meeting.
