Unlocking Potential, One Bright Mind At A Time

Every mind shines. We help you see the light

At Bright Insights, we believe that understanding is the first step toward meaningful growth. We provide expert mental health and educational evaluations for children and teens, helping families make sense of learning, behavior, and emotional well-being. Our goal? To spark insight, guide positive change, and support brighter paths forward—at every age and stage of development.

Bright Solutions

Our Bright Solutions offer families and schools expert evaluations, thoughtful guidance, and practical recommendations. Whether you’re seeking answers, direction, or a clearer picture of your child’s strengths and needs, we provide compassionate, customized support every step of the way.

Services

  • A Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessment provides a clear picture of a student’s cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning. At Bright Insights, we tailor each evaluation to uncover not only challenges but also the unique strengths that help students shine.

  • Cognitive Testing offers insight into how a student learns, thinks, and solves problems. It helps identify learning challenges, giftedness, or a unique blend of both.

  • A Social-Emotional Evaluation explores a student’s emotional and behavioral needs, whether privately or through the school to determine eligibility for Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS).

  • We provide contracted Psychoeducational Assessments and Observations to support schools with staffing gaps, referral spikes, or specialized needs—always delivered with quality and in line with state guidelines.

  • We provide Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) that offer a thoughtful, strengths-based second opinion when further clarity is needed after a district evaluation.

  • We help families navigate IEPs, 504 plans, and school meetings with clarity and confidence—offering guidance, preparation, and support, including attending meetings alongside you when needed.

The Bright Side of Our Work

  • "I highly recommend Anna Mangino as an engaging, knowledgeable, and honest psychologist. She worked exceptionally well with my 9-year-old son, who has ADHD, creating a supportive and positive environment that truly resonated with him. Mrs. Mangino’s expertise and approachable style helped my son feel understood and motivated throughout their time together, making the process both effective and enjoyable. Her ability to connect with children and tailor her approach to their unique needs is truly impressive."

As a school psychologist, she brings a rare combination of deep expertise, thoughtful insight, and heartfelt compassion to every interaction. What makes Anna so special is her ability to truly see the whole child—not just the behaviors or test scores, but what’s happening underneath. Her ability to translate complex data into meaningful, actionable recommendations has been invaluable for families and educators alike."
