About Us
Supporting Learners. Guiding Families. Strengthening Outcomes.
At CultivatED Minds, our mission is to help children feel understood, supported and capable of growth. We partner with families and schools to provide insight, clarity, and evidence-based recommendations that support each child’s learning and development.
As Licensed Educational Psychologists and co-founders of CultivatED Minds, we bring over forty years of combined experience in education and psychology. Throughout our careers, we have been dedicated to helping children, families, and schools better understand how students learn—and how to support them in meaningful, lasting ways.
We specialize in comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations and Independent Educational Evaluations, providing clear, thoughtful assessments that go beyond scores to highlight each child’s unique strengths and areas of need. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practice and collaboration, with recommendations that are practical, realistic, and designed to make a positive difference in everyday life.
In addition to working closely with families, we partner with school districts to provide assessments, consultation, and guidance that support informed decision-making and effective educational planning. We value a collaborative approach and strive to ensure that our evaluations and recommendations are both legally sound and educationally meaningful for teams and students alike.
Our goal is to create an experience where families and educators feel heard, supported, and empowered. We believe that an evaluation should not only provide answers, but also offer direction, confidence, and hope.
As both educators and parents, we understand the importance of seeing the whole child and partnering with families in a way that feels respectful, personal, and encouraging.
At CultivatED Minds, our mission is simple: to provide clarity, guidance, and thoughtful support so every individual has the opportunity to thrive. When you’re ready to gain insight and a plan forward, we welcome you to schedule a consultation.
Best Regards,
Nicole and Becky

Why We Do This?
Through years of working with students and families, we’ve seen how overwhelming it can feel when a child is struggling and the path forward isn't clear.
CultivatED Minds was created to offer a more thoughtful, supportive approach- one that helps families gain clarity, understand their child and move forward with confidence.
Who Are We
Dr. Rebecca Ryun
Licensed Educational Psychologist, PsyD
License: LEP 4732
Dr. Rebecca (Becky) Ryun is a Licensed Educational Psychologist, Co-Founder, and Co-CEO of CultivatED Minds. Holding a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Educational Psychology, Becky specializes in comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, executive functioning, anxiety, depression, and other learning and emotional differences. She has a particular passion for autism assessment and helping families better understand the unique strengths and support needs of neurodivergent children and adolescents.
With over 25 years of experience advocating for children and families and 23 years as a practicing school psychologist, Becky has developed expertise in evaluating autistic children and adolescents across a wide range of presentations, including high-masking individuals, twice-exceptional (2e) learners, and children whose strengths may have delayed recognition of their support needs. She understands that every child experiences the world differently and believes evaluations should do more than identify a diagnosis—they should tell the story of how a child learns, communicates, connects, and thrives. Her comprehensive evaluations examine the social, emotional, behavioral, and educational impact of neurodivergence, providing individualized, strengths-based recommendations that help children succeed at home, in school, and in their communities.
Becky is also recognized for her expertise in evaluating dyslexia and dysgraphia. She is known for identifying the underlying cognitive and linguistic processes contributing to reading and writing difficulties, allowing her to recommend evidence-based interventions tailored to each learner's unique profile. Her goal is to help families and schools move beyond simply identifying a learning difference to understanding which interventions and supports are most likely to help each child succeed.
Becky also serves as an adjunct professor at the university level, where she educates and mentors future school psychologists. Families appreciate her warm, collaborative approach and her ability to translate complex assessment findings into meaningful, practical guidance. She believes every child deserves to be understood, valued, and supported in ways that honor their individual strengths. Becky also serves as a board member of Creative Alternatives, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and families in the community.

Holding an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree, she specializes in comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations and consultation for students with diverse and complex learning profiles, including Intellectual Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and ADHD — an area of particular focus and passion in her practice.
With nearly 20 years of experience in education, Nicole has worked across school districts throughout Central California and the Bay Area, developing deep expertise in navigating school systems and supporting families through thoughtful, individualized assessment and guidance. She has experience conducting evaluations in the context of due process, supporting families and districts through complex and high-stakes educational decisions.

Nicole lives in the Turlock area with her husband and two children and enjoys cooking, spending time outdoors, and staying actively involved in her children’s extracurricular activities. Her work is grounded in a simple belief: that every child deserves to be understood — and that the right support, delivered with care and expertise, can change the trajectory of a life.
