I am passionate about helping children and families better understand learning and attention differences. As a licensed psychologist with a background in school psychology, I specialize in the assessment of ADHD and learning disabilities. I bring a nuanced understanding of how these difficulties can affect students’ learning and day-to-day functioning, as well as how they can present differently from one child to another.

My prior experience as a school psychologist with Minneapolis Public Schools has given me practical insight into the supports and services available to students in school settings. I value connecting comprehensive assessment findings with meaningful, individualized recommendations that help families understand their child’s needs and advocate for appropriate support at school and beyond.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, running and staying active, spending time with extended family, and being involved in my faith community. I also love spending time at home with my husband and our three cats.

Beck Ellingson, PhD, LP, NCSP

Back to all Therapists

  • I enjoy exploring the nuances of ADHD and learning disabilities, including how they can overlap and contribute to similar challenges in learning. Understanding what is driving a child's difficulties is an important first step toward identifying the right supports.

  • I believe assessment should help children and families better understand a child's unique strengths and challenges, not simply provide a diagnosis.

  • I value helping parents make sense of assessment findings and identify meaningful next steps to support their child's learning and development.
