Mental Health and Socio-Emotional Learning

 My name is Jessica Riordan and I am the School Psychologist at St. Mark School.  I began my career at SUNY Buffalo, working in the Center for Children & Families lab.  My primary focus was with kids exhibiting externalized behaviors, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD).  Working side by side with parents and teachers, I realized how much I enjoyed working as a team to affect positive change.  I have been working as a School Psychologist since 2010 and continue to enjoy making a positive impact on students and their families.

 After 11 years in Allentown, my family moved into the Parkside area in 2020.  My husband, four children and I love the neighborhood, and enjoy reading together, outdoor adventure time, and the chaotically amazing baseball/softball season!

 As a School Psychologist at St. Mark, I will be very involved in student well-being.  I will be meeting with students individually, in small groups, pushing into the classroom, creating programs for the classroom in conjunction with teachers, and assisting parents with behavior plans for home use.  Should you have any interest in any of these services for your child or family, please reach out to me at [email protected]

 Looking forward to our work together,

 Jessica Riordan
