Jacalyn Bruno, Psy.D.

Owner, Licensed Psychologist

Dr. Bruno is a licensed psychologist, former school psychologist, and child anxiety expert who works with clients from preschool through adulthood. She brings extensive experience across special education settings, public and private schools, and intensive treatment centers, giving her a deep understanding of children’s needs across all levels of support. In addition to therapy, she is highly skilled in comprehensive assessments and evaluations.
​
Unlike the traditional talk therapy model offered by many clinicians, Dr. Bruno’s approach is active, engaging, and goal-driven. She focuses on teaching practical skills, building confidence, and helping families create meaningful, lasting change at home, in school, and in daily life. She uses art, games, nature, and each child’s interests to help them feel safe, motivated, and connected. Collaboration with parents, siblings, and school teams is central to her work, ensuring progress continues well beyond the session.
​
As a mother to a neurodivergent child, Dr. Bruno has a special passion for supporting families of children with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and PDA. She is a dedicated disability advocate and helps parents navigate the educational system—preparing for important meetings and even attending CSE or 504 meetings to ensure their child receives the services and support they deserve.
