Dr. Shirin Ansari is the founder of The Center for Learning and Behavioral Solutions in Irvine, California. A firm believer in viewing a child from multiple perspectives, Dr. Ansari has pioneered a multidisciplinary approach in evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents. Her professional expertise allows her to integrate the four key disciplines of educational psychology, neuropsychology, clinical psychology and special educational into her understanding of each child’s individuality. This approach has gained much recognition among the clinical and research communities. Dr. Ansari and her colleagues have done a number of research studies which have been published in some of the most prestigious medical and psychological journals including The Journal of American Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Orange County Psychologist.

In 2008, guided by her mission to empower struggling children, Dr. Ansari founded Kids’ Potential, a non-profit organization committed to the early identification and treatment of underserved and at-risk children. Kids’ Potential was founded with the mission serving the under-served and at-risk children. Kids’ Potential is proud to have joined forces with the national organization CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) to provide educational and psychological services to thousands of foster children in Orange County.
