Our Leadership Team
Lamis Jabri, MD
Founder & Director
Board Certified Psychiatrist
Licensed in the State of California
Dr. Jabri has been practicing as a psychiatrist in various clinical settings since 2014, and has enjoyed teaching children since 1998, and graduate-doctoral level students in academic and community settings since 2010.
Dr. Jabri designed the 2e4Me Program because she needed something exactly like it.
Dr Jabri enjoys working with our students directly as an "undercover" therapist" while teaching many of the Science and Social-Emotional learning classes herself.
The students call her "Ms Lamis" as they view her as their teacher or "principal".
Dr. Jabri fosters an environment where children are encouraged to express their concerns truthfully and trust that they are heard. She specializes in helping teachers and families understand the unsolved problems that are preventing students from meeting expectations, and then engage students in solving those problems collaboratively. Learn more by visiting Dr Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions model, as well as Bridges Academy's dual differentiation and Badges models.
Centering on CPS unlocks the path forward in the classroom, the playground, and everywhere.
Dr . Jabri also offers psychiatric assessments, individual and family counseling.
