Marissa Kiepert Truong, Ph.D.
Educational Therapist and Consultant

My name is Dr. Marissa Kiepert Truong and I am an educational therapist who specializes in early literacy and the assessment and treatment of dyslexia. I provide intervention when it matters the most - the early years and am committed to preventative strategies that minimize the impact of special needs on social-emotional health, overall well-being, and success in life. As a parenting educator, I provide expert guidance while always ensuring parents are included in the process of treatment. As an owner of a small educational practice, A First Foundation, LLC, I build high quality, personalized relationships with my clients. My focus is on knowing them as individuals and tailoring sessions to their needs. In addition, having a dual background in education and psychology allows me to view my clients from a holistic perspective, recognizing the important interplay between the various developmental domains and the social-emotional elements impacted by learning, developmental or behavioral needs. As a parent of children with disabilities and neurodiverse needs, I have walked in your shoes and can help guide you in your journey based on personal experience, in addition to my training. 

​

As an educational consultant who has experience launching a school from scratch and over 15 years of experience in educational leadership roles - I provide professional development to preschools, aid with implementation of processes/procedures, and provide support for individuals who want to launch their own child care centers or schools.
