Lora Helton, Ph.D.

I am a clinical and school psychologist who provides diagnostic assessments, consultation, and therapy on a part-time basis at CORE Coping and the Center for Psychology and Learning. I specialize in comprehensive psychological and educational evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults.

With experience across public schools, clinical day schools, hospitals, and private practice, I bring a well-rounded perspective to supporting individuals and families. My background in school, clinical, and pediatric psychology has given me a deep understanding of the mental health needs of youth and the systems that serve them.

Collaboration is central to my approach. Whether working with students, families, or educators, I aim to create clear, actionable recommendations that support growth and success. My work is person-centered, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice.

I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Rhode Island, my master’s degree from SUNY College at Brockport, and my bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children, practicing yoga, being outdoors, gardening, and enjoying a quiet cup of coffee.
