Wesley Shelley, licensed school psychologist<\/h1>\n

I am a school psychologist who is passionate about teaming up with kids, teens, parents, and adults. \u00a0I\u2019ve worked in schools for nearly two decades, completed over 600 comprehensive evaluations, and led several school-based problem-solving teams to ensure that struggling students could thrive: academically, socially, and behaviorally.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ve changed course and am now focusing on my private practice. \u00a0Why?\u00a0 Quite simply because there is a need for excellent evaluations–for kids, for teens, and for adults.\u00a0 And because in a private setting, I’m not rushed.\u00a0 I can truly take the time to complete a super-thorough evaluation.\u00a0 Because what I believe deeply is that a good evaluation matters.\u00a0 And I’ve seen this time and again over the years.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s my training? \u00a0After graduating from Dartmouth College, I spent several more years in New Hampshire where I worked at a school for at-risk boys. \u00a0Here, I met my beautiful wife and now mother of three kids. I retired my snowboard after my family moved to Virginia then completed my graduate studies in school psychology at James Madison University. \u00a0Since this time I have been a school psychologist for a few districts in central Virginia. Somewhere amidst these years I have taught art and math in both public and private schools as well as for UVa\u2019s Summer Enrichment Program.<\/p>\n

But, perhaps my most important experience–both rewarding and terribly humbling–is raising three markedly beautiful yet markedly different children. I\u2019m a parent, too, and I know the highs and lows, the hopes and fears of this winding road.\u00a0 Speaking of kids and gifts, most recently I did the sweetest and perhaps stupidest thing in decades: I brought home two foster kittens, thereby tripling my family’s cat population.\u00a0 I guess my kids were right, I am a sucker for cats.<\/p>\n

Our Team<\/span><\/h1>\n

As a psychologist and business-owner, my standards are super-high.\u00a0 So, when I invite professionals to join my practice, know this: I\u2019d trust them with my own child.\u00a0 That\u2019s a high bar to reach and not many make it, but I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.\u00a0 So, below are people whom I have the privilege to work with.\u00a0 – Wes<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Weaver, licensed school psychologist<\/span><\/h1>\n

Anna spent her formative years living with and working in a community for adults with disabilities.\u00a0 Here she led a team with a clear mission: people\u2013regardless of age, label, ability or disability\u2013deserve compassionate care.\u00a0 This was her work and her passion: the mundane of the day-to-day, the simple joys of living together, and even the intermittent crises.\u00a0 So, when this chapter of her life ended, she transitioned to school psychology.\u00a0 As a graduate student, she spent two years at JMU\u2019s Office of Disability Services.\u00a0 Here she helped college students with disabilities navigate the ins and outs of classes, accommodations, and finding their stride.\u00a0 Since this time, I\u2019ve had the pleasure of supervising Anna, guiding her as she blossomed professionally.\u00a0 And what I can say is this: her evaluations are insightful, personal, and precise.\u00a0 Her counseling skills are astute and above-all solution-focused.\u00a0 I\u2019ve literally worked alongside Anna 500+ hours.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen her firsthand, working with kids, teens, adults, parents.\u00a0 And what I know deeply is this: I trust her completely.\u00a0 And not just as a psychologist, but more importantly as a person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of person, Anna claims to be a dog person, yet she has no dogs.\u00a0 Curious.\u00a0 Who knows, maybe she’s an imaginary dog person.<\/p>\n

Rick Krogmann, licensed school psychologist<\/span><\/h1>\n

Rick and I met years ago\u2014I supervised his year-long internship as a school psychologist. We worked side-by-side: completing evaluations, setting up small group supports, counseling, consulting with teachers, and more.\u00a0\u00a0What was clear to me from the beginning was this: Rick had a passion for helping kids and families.\u00a0\u00a0For giving them his absolute best.\u00a0\u00a0For not compromising.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s these characteristics that made him a trusted colleague in the public school setting.\u00a0\u00a0He tried hard to cut through red tape, do what\u2019s right for kids, and make the Special Education process personal.\u00a0\u00a0After all, to a parent, there\u2019s nothing worse than feeling like your kid is just a number in this massive and impersonal machine.\u00a0\u00a0Rick pushed against this, and\u2014even as a young professional\u2014he\u2019s had the guts to openly disagree with a number of decisions he believed were wrong.\u00a0It\u2019s this drive and mission that I love about Rick.\u00a0\u00a0He is consistently striving to be better and do better for our clients.\u00a0\u00a0And diving into private practice is his next step.<\/p>\n

Rick loves the outdoors, music, mindfulness, and mutts\u2014just ask him about his latest adventures with Georgia.\u00a0\u00a0And just for the record, I don\u2019t hold it against him that he\u2019s a dog person.\u00a0 Georgia is pretty cute after all\u2014but not as cute as my cat Walter.<\/p>\n

Jessica Williams-Chase, resident in school psychology<\/span><\/h1>\n

Jessica started her career as a special education teacher, first in high school, then elementary.\u00a0 Through the highs and lows, she decided to continue serving kids and families, but shifting her focus to psychology: offering both counseling and evaluations.\u00a0 So, she enrolled at JMU\u2019s school psychology program, she completed her internship with me (Wes), and she\u2019s been at it ever since.\u00a0 What I love about Jessica is that she doesn\u2019t just embrace learning and serving, but she\u2019s passionate about learning and serving.\u00a0 Jessica has served public schools well and after four years, she\u2019s diving into private practice with us.\u00a0 Although her old team is sad to see her go, we\u2019re ecstatic to work alongside her.\u00a0 In addition to her warmth and calm, Jess brings not just knowledge but also first-hand experience in curriculum, instruction, and teaching.<\/p>\n

Jess is a mom, a wife, an artist, she even sews her own clothes, and\u2014arguably most important\u2014she loves cats.\u00a0 She has two tabbies, Leah and Han Solo (plus one dog, Mae).\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note the numbers here: since she has more cats than dogs, she\u2019s officially a cat person.<\/p>\n
