Growing Images is the private practice of Winifred Bedford, Ph.D., HSP, created as a space for thoughtful psychological assessment and deeper understanding.

Licensed Psychologist | PSYPACT Provider

Dr. Winifred Bedford is a Licensed Psychologist and Health Service Provider (HSP) who approaches psychological assessment through a holistic, brain-mind-body lens.

While her clinical work is rooted in supporting children, adolescents, and young adults.

Rather than viewing a diagnosis in isolation, Dr. Bedford considers how clinical findings connect to the individual’s full experience.

Her background as a School Psychologist in K–12 settings, combined with her training in clinical counseling, allows her to translate complex testing data into practical recommendations for individuals, families, and educators.

Dr. Bedford earned her Ph.D. in Psychology from Tennessee State University and her Master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University.

As a PSYPACT-authorized provider, Dr. Bedford offers tele-assessment services to clients in over 40 states.

She is a fluent Spanish speaker and has lived and studied in Madrid, Spain, which informs her work in bilingual and cross-cultural assessment.

She believes meaningful growth begins with understanding how our brain-based patterns, emotional experiences, and internal world come together to shape how we live.

When she isn’t working, Winifred is an avid traveler and, occasionally, a reluctant writer of her own third-person biographies.
