Welcome To LEAPS With Lawson!

Empowering Minds, Transforming Futures: Collaborative, Child-Centered Expertise in Student Well-being

My Approach to Psychology

As a nationally certified school psychologist in private practice, I offer a client-centered, collaborative approach to care, focusing on understanding behavior and providing clear, empowering answers. My work affirms individuals and families, helping them navigate differences in development in areas like learning, self-regulation, and everyday functioning. Whether you’re seeking evaluation, mental health support, or advocacy, I’m committed to offering compassionate, accessible care that fosters growth, healing, and clarity every step of the way.

Who is Lawson?

That would be me! Some of my graduate students dropped the “doctor” and called me “Lawson,” and I came to like it. You can read more about me on the About page, but for now I will hit the highlights. My days are full. I am a mom of three. I love being a parent and very much enjoy the work I do too! I have worked with children since I was a kid, and do not plan on ever stopping. I am a warm, approachable, passionate person who takes the scary and intimidating out of testing!

What are LEAPS?

A Safe Space for You

I take pride in creating a welcoming, non-intimidating environment for evaluations and testing. As an approachable practitioner, I strive to make the process comfortable and stress-free, especially for children. Just ask the kids who work with me! My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to be yourself, while offering professional guidance and care.

In-Person and Remote Services Available

LEAPS with Lawson offers flexible service options with a primary office in Oviedo, Florida. I also collaborate with practices in Clermont and Melbourne, Florida, providing services at those locations upon request. Many of my psychological and educational services are available remotely throughout Florida, ensuring convenient and accessible care for you and your family, no matter where you’re located.

Meet Sarah

  • “Sarah was recommended to our family after searching high and low to get answers as to why our 2nd grade daughter was struggling with reading and needing to repeat the 2nd grade. Sarah took the time and was patient with our shy daughter as she worked with her to give us answers. Sarah's detailed information allowed us to present the information to our daughter's school and get the IEP and help that she needed. She is now thriving and loves to read as a now 3rd grader. We have the diagnosis we needed to best help her and understand how her brain works. I recommend Sarah to everyone I know.”

  • "Sarah was diligent and thorough. She explained the process and was communicative."
