Welcome
Hello and welcome. So glad you are here. I know it took a lot of courage to get here so give yourself some credit for coming this far.
​
My name is Dr. Lea LaPointe and I am a licensed psychologist in Florida. I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for the Tampa Bay area.
A comprehensive evaluation can help explain why we think, feel, learn, and act a certain way. This information is not only helpful for you but for your loved ones and other professionals in your life as well (e.g. teacher, therapist).
I love evaluations! I get to join you in sorting through the pieces of your life to help you find the missing piece to complete the puzzle. I don't know about you, but I find a puzzle much easier to complete when I'm not working on it alone. I believe in conducting thorough evaluations. In other words, no piece will be left unturned! Once we find the missing piece, you will be better equipped to meet your goals. Common goals include finishing your education, finding or maintaining a job, and improving relationships, among others.
​
A little about me: I grew up in upstate New York (basically on the border to Canada) but I received my doctorate in psychology from Arizona School of Professional Psychology in Phoenix, Arizona. There, I also learned that even a “dry heat” is still very, very hot. I enjoy getting lost in a good book, spending quiet time on the water in a kayak, delighting in the use of puns, and hanging out with my German Shepherd named Ziva.
