Charlene Andersson

educational therapist, author, and lifelong educator in Los Angeles, CA, USA

I’m Charlene Andersson, an educational therapist, author, and lifelong educator based in Los Angeles, California. For over three decades, I’ve dedicated my career to helping children reach their full potential—both in and out of the classroom. I specialize in personalized learning, differentiated instruction, and educational therapy for students who need more than traditional teaching can offer. My work has taken me from local schools to international stages, including serving as a U.S. delegate for curriculum development in Japan and consulting on education in the Middle East and Cuba. I’ve authored children’s books, developed programs for gifted learners, and created arts-based enrichment programs for children in hospitals like UCLA Mattel and the Ronald McDonald House. My goal has always been simple: to meet each child where they are, listen deeply, and help them grow into confident, capable individuals. Whether I’m working with families privately or speaking at conferences, I lead with heart, creativity, and a deep belief in every student’s potential.
