Evalution. Understanding. Intervention.

School neuropsychological evaluations, therapeutic counseling and family support.

Where the heart and the mind meet.

Compassionate Care with Purpose

We help families who have tried everything to understand their child’s learning and emotional struggles and realize they cannot do it alone.

Let’s uncover the “why” and do something about it.

Our Services

We understand that seeking an evaluation often comes after a long journey of uncertainty. That’s why we’re committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our approach to testing is both thorough and timely, with flexible scheduling and clear communication every step of the way.

As a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP), she brings expert care to children’s academic, behavioral, and emotional development. Her mission? To foster a warm, inclusive space where every child can thrive—at school, socially, and beyond.

Comprehensive & therapeutic testing is our specialty!

If you are looking for Person-Centered Mental Health Therapy and evidence-based techniques, you are at the right place.

Through a person-centered, comprehensive lens, we provide therapeutic evaluations that consider the whole individual; how they think, feel, learn, and relate to the world around them.

We believe in going beneath the surface – where the heart and mind meet.

Trusted by Lakeland Families

Dr. Shey exceeded our expectations in many ways. She was not only very accommodating when scheduling, she was able to fit us into her busy schedule with short notice. Scheduling, testing, and billing was seamless. Her office is clean and inviting and my child quickly warmed up to her controlled, yet gentle demeanor. Her final report was prompt and detailed. Star Psychology / Dr. Shey were both on the approved provider list for many of our scholarships, which helped with reimbursement.

We will be using Dr. Shey soon for our additional testing.

Dr. Shey is the BEST school psychologist I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is kind, trustworthy, knowledgeable and really takes the time to get to know her families and establish incredible rapport with children. She finds the strengths in children and makes parents feel at ease and comfortable. As a speech-language pathologist, she is the one school psychologist I refer all my clients to for observations and evaluations. She is thorough in her reports and takes the time to connect with families on a personal level. She is truly remarkable, special, and professional. It is an honor to know her and get to collaborate with her.
Dr. Shey provided excellent support for my child’s behavior challenges. The practical strategies she offered improved our family interactions significantly, with signs showing better communication and fewer outbursts. Always responsive when needed, she made herself available for questions between sessions. Her approach made a real difference in our daily lives, and I highly recommend her to parents facing similar challenges
Does your child’s psychologist care for your children the way you do? Dr Shey does! She goes above and beyond to ensure that your child feels safe, heard, seen, cared for, and important. She is patient and pays attention to every detail during interactions. She will take the time hear your concerns, rejoice in your wins, educate you when needed. We LOVE Dr Shey in our household ❤️
