At Psychology Connection, Dr. Erika Updegrove partners with schools and educational institutions to design and strengthen behavioral support systems that create lasting change. With years of clinical and educational experience, Dr. Updegrove helps schools cultivate environments where students thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

Through expert school behavior consulting services, educators gain practical strategies, professional insight, and sustainable systems that enhance classroom management, reduce disruptions, and nurture a culture of respect, emotional regulation, and learning success.

Building Strong Foundations for Positive Behavior

Every school faces unique challenges in managing behavior and supporting students’ emotional well-being. From escalating classroom disruptions to complex behavioral diagnoses, teachers and staff are often expected to handle it all without the right tools or support.

Dr. Updegrove provides customized consultation that helps schools develop or refine behavioral frameworks that are proactive, consistent, and compassionate. Her approach integrates clinical psychology, behavioral science, and trauma-informed practices, empowering educators to respond effectively to diverse student needs.

Whether your school is building new systems or refining existing ones, Dr. Updegrove helps your team create a culture rooted in emotional safety, empathy, and accountability.
