OUR TEAM
Jamie Katz
Jamie is the owner and co-founder of Brain Bridge and has spent more than 15 years working with students and families. She received her degree in Psychology from Pitzer College and her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC).
Jamie’s passion for this work is deeply personal. Having experienced learning challenges herself, she understands how easily bright and capable individuals can begin to question their abilities when learning does not come easily. This experience has shaped her commitment to helping students better understand their brains, build confidence, and recognize that academic or cognitive challenges do not define their intelligence or potential.
Jamie began working in cognitive training in Manhattan Beach in 2011, where she gained extensive experience implementing individualized programs targeting attention, processing speed, working memory, executive functioning, reasoning, problem-solving, and other foundational learning skills. In 2015, she helped found Brain Bridge to create a more individualized and comprehensive approach to supporting students.
Today, Jamie leads Brain Bridge’s programs and works closely with children, adults and families to understand the whole person, not simply where someone may be struggling academically or in everyday life, but the underlying cognitive, executive functioning, and emotional factors that may be contributing to those challenges. She is especially passionate about working with individuals with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, learning differences, and gifted or twice-exceptional profiles.
Jamie’s goal is for every student who comes through Brain Bridge to gain not only stronger skills, but also a better understanding of how their brain works and greater confidence in their abilities. She wants students to leave Brain Bridge with practical tools, strategies, and a stronger sense of what they are capable of that they can carry with them long after their time at Brain Bridge.

Brittany Johnson
Brittany received her degree in Psychology from Oklahoma Christian University. She co-founded Brain Bridge in 2015 after realizing that a personalized and hands-on approach was necessary to support youth with learning differences. Prior to that, in 2010 she served as the Training Supervisor for The Learning Gym, a testing and training center established in 1997 dedicated to working with youth to enhance academic and work performance, attention, focus and processing speeds using mostly computer programs. She parted ways with her career in fashion when she tuned into her natural inclination and passion for working with children and families to make a real difference in my community.
