Dr. Yolanda N. White

Dr. Yolanda N. White is a licensed school psychologist in Florida and Arizona whose work centers on brain‑based, comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessment. She specializes in helping children and adolescents understand how their brains learn, process information, regulate emotions, and manage attention. Her evaluations integrate neuroscience, cognitive theory, and evidence‑based assessment practices to provide families with clear, actionable insights into a child’s strengths and areas of need. Dr. White has extensive experience conducting assessments that examine cognitive functioning, executive skills, attention, memory, academic achievement, social‑emotional development, and behavioral patterns. She uses a neurological lens to help families understand the “why” behind a child’s challenges and to design targeted interventions that support long‑term success. Her approach emphasizes translating complex brain‑based data into practical strategies that improve functioning at home, in school, and in the community. In addition to assessment, Dr. White provides counseling and behavior intervention services for children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD‑related challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties. She is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environment where students feel understood and empowered. Her dedication to staying current with emerging research in neuroscience and child development ensures that her work remains grounded in the most effective, evidence‑based practices. Dr. White earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida. She received her Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from Argosy University and completed her Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) with a specialization in School Psychology at Capella University. With more than 12 years of experience in both public and private K–12 settings, she has served children and families from diverse backgrounds, including youth in residential facilities, teen mothers, and children with incarcerated parents.
