My Ed Therapist

What My Ed Therapist does

My Ed Therapist is a privately held, bootstrapped educational therapy group practice founded in 2015 by Stephanie Pitts (M.Ed., BCET) and headquartered in Redondo Beach, California. The firm delivers one-on-one individualized educational therapy to children and adults with learning profiles including dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, executive functioning challenges, and processing disorders. Services are delivered in person at two South Bay Los Angeles offices (Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach) and via nationwide virtual sessions. The practice employs 10 or more team members comprising AET-certified associate educational therapists, learning specialists, and an operations director. All clinicians are credentialed through the Association of Educational Therapists.

The underlying service is human-delivered and methodology-driven rather than software-driven. Each client receives an individualized learning plan developed after an intake meeting and review of diagnostic evaluations, with sessions using research-based tools and a proprietary "Game Whisperer" methodology built around a curated library of over 200 games used to make learning approachable. The firm charges a one-time $100 onboarding fee and bills sessions monthly on the 1st, with services paid out-of-pocket (not covered by insurance). Specific per-session rates are not publicly disclosed. Beyond core therapy, the firm operates a coaching line targeting other educational therapists seeking to grow or launch practices, and runs the "Learn Smarter" podcast as a content/brand channel. No proprietary software, platform, app, or AI/ML system is disclosed; there are no funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors.

Direct peers

• Lexercise: Online dyslexia therapy platform connecting students with certified dyslexia therapists for one-on-one virtual sessions. Highly comparable in target population (dyslexia/LD), delivery model (one-on-one virtual therapy), and outcomes focus as My Ed Therapist.
• Brain Balance: Center-based program addressing ADHD, dyslexia, and learning challenges through cognitive, sensory, and motor activities. Comparable in serving families of children with neurodiverse learning profiles, though with a different methodology.
• Reading Partners / Landmarks for Learning: Small-group and one-on-one reading and learning disability intervention provider. Comparable in offering individualized, research-based remediation for students with dyslexia and reading challenges.
• Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes: National educational therapy provider offering research-based instruction in reading, comprehension, and math to students with learning differences. Directly comparable to My Ed Therapist's one-on-one, research-based remediation model for dyslexia and learning disabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Varsity Tutors: Large online tutoring platform offering one-on-one instruction across subjects including support for students with learning differences. Adjacent in virtual delivery model but a broad marketplace rather than specialized educational therapy.
• Wyzant: Online marketplace connecting students with private tutors across subjects including learning differences. Adjacent in one-on-one delivery and online access but operates as an open marketplace rather than a credentialed clinical practice.
• Sylvan Learning: Large nationwide tutoring and learning support franchise providing personalized instruction across reading, math, writing, and study skills. Overlaps with My Ed Therapist's target market but operates as a broad franchise network rather than a credentialed educational therapy practice.
• Huntington Learning Center: Established franchise offering tutoring, test prep, and learning support to K–12 students. Comparable customer base (families seeking academic remediation) but broader, less specialized service portfolio than a credentialed educational therapy practice.

Emerging players

• Cogmed Working Memory Training: Evidence-based working memory and executive function training program delivered through certified coaches. Comparable in addressing executive function challenges in students and adults, overlapping with one of My Ed Therapist's core service lines.
• Dyslexia Training Institute: Specialized institute offering dyslexia therapy, training, and consulting services. Comparable in serving the dyslexia/LD population with credentialed therapists, though more focused on training and advocacy than ongoing one-on-one therapy.
