Davinia Parton, Ed.S., M.A., NCSP

Founder, Lantern

Davinia is a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) with an Ed.S. in School Psychology, an M.A. in Educational Psychology and a California Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Psychology.

Her professional experience includes working with children, families and educators across school settings, with experience in educational assessment, consultation, executive functioning, social-emotional learning, intervention, parent education and helping teams understand the factors affecting a child’s experience at school.

Before entering school psychology, Davinia spent many years working professionally in communication and media. That background continues to shape her approach: complex information should be understandable, useful and communicated without unnecessary jargon.

As both a professional and a parent, Davinia understands that educational information feels very different when the child being discussed is your own. Lantern brings those perspectives together, combining professional knowledge, lived understanding and clear communication to help families see the bigger picture and find a practical way forward.
