Meet Our Founder, Dr. Michelle Beard
Transcendent Student Solutions, LLC is the vision of Dr. Michelle Beard, a psychologist in Houston, Texas, who specializes in identifying children and adolescents with various learning challenges. Over the last decade, Dr. Beard has been astounded at the difficulties families face in finding convenient, evidenced-based interventions for their children that struggle to learn. Of the qualified professionals in town who are properly trained to help students, families report that they are often not taking new students, require students to come to their offices for sessions (which takes away valuable time for homework and extracurricular activities), or are not a good fit for their particular child.
As a result, parents and children become frustrated and overwhelmed with the process of finding help. TSS strives to lessen the stress and time commitment required for families to provide the best interventions available for their children to succeed!
Dr. Beard brings a deep understanding of learning challenges and assessment expertise that serve as the foundation for Transcendent Student Solutions, LLC. First, she is a parent of two children herself and knows how important it is to help your children find success in the increasingly demanding educational arena. Additionally, she worked as a tutor for struggling students in both Austin and Houston while earning her Doctorate in Educational Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. Lastly, as a psychologist trained in the field of assessment, she is keenly aware of how to translate testing data into intervention plans. Dr. Beard has been in private practice since 2006, where she has devoted her time to helping identify students with learning challenges and managing various life stressors.
