Who Are We
Jeffrey Spike, M.A., L.E.P. & Carissa Duran-Spike, M.A.
With more than twenty-five years of combined extensive and wide-ranging experience in the fields of school psychology, counseling and behavior/ academic intervention, Jeffrey Spike (AKA "Spike the Psych") and Carissa Duran-Spike provide the highest quality of numerous services for students (elementary school through post graduate) of all ages and their families. They have worked as school psychologists, school counselors, and behavioral intervention case managers in several areas of the San Fernando Valley for several years, serving special education and general education students of all ages.
The Spikes have conducted psycho-educational assessments and have directly provided supports and interventions for several hundreds of general education and special education students to help them improve their skills and progress in the following areas: social skills; positive work habits and routines; study skills and organization; appropriate classroom behavior; stress/anxiety management; anger management and conflict resolution; motivation and attitude; self-esteem and self-confidence; impulse control; coping skills; and appropriate decision making.
Jeffrey Spike became a licensed educational psychologist while continuing to work at LAUSD schools. He was the recipient of the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists (LAASP) Outstanding Psychologist of the year Award. As experienced assessors and evaluators, the Spikes have successfully identified the primary strengths and needs of students with Autism, ADD/HD, learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, intellectual disabilities, speech or language impairments, and other health impairments. They have both developed a reputation for being able to connect with students of all ages and, therefore, producing positive results through educational counseling and intervention.
