About Us

BLPS is a private practice located in downtown Portland, ME. Founded in 2022, we currently offer neuropsychological evaluations and parent coaching with a focus on children, adolescents, and young adults.

Our vision is to serve as a trusted, steady guide—a beacon of insight and support—helping each client move toward understanding, peace of mind, and well-being. Our mission is to provide high-quality, personalized psychological care that translates insight into meaningful action. We work collaboratively with each client and their support network, delivering practical strategies that make a tangible difference in daily life.

We are grounded in values that define every aspect of our work:

Quality: We deliver high-quality, evidence-based care with professionalism, precision, and excellence.
Approachability: We create a welcoming, non-intimidating environment where clients feel safe and supported.

Attentiveness: We prioritize clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through.

We believe that when clinicians are respected and supported, client care naturally improves—and that’s why we’re building a team that values integrity, collaboration, and meaningful clinical work.
