Dr. Gina Cruz, Ph.D., Ed. Diag., BCCS

Center Director

Welcome! I’m Gina Cruz. As the owner of the North Central San Antonio LearningRx Brain Training Center, I’ve been actively involved in the field of cognitive science and training over the past 18 years. I’m the mother of two young men and hold a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Special Education, and a certification as an Educational Diagnostician. Formerly, I was an elementary, special education, and Montessori-certified teacher. Having worked with students with varying learning disabilities and neurological differences, I believe that all people have potential. It is my goal to strengthen the learning of those with learning challenges and give them the tools they need for success. I invite you to come visit our center, I’d be happy to meet with you to see how we can help you or your family member maximize their/your potential.

I was a Texas State licensed Director for both Montessori Schools and Child Development programs for 15 of those years. I hold a Montessori Certification for preschool ages 3-6 and a CDA in Early Childhood Education.

Nimisha Patel

Director of Trainers

Hello, I’m Nimisha Patel, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology along with a post-baccalaureate certification in Applied Behavior Analysis. After three years as a teacher, I joined LearningRx, motivated by my passion for helping individuals overcome learning challenges. It is incredibly fulfilling to see our clients achieve their goals and to support them on their journey. In my free time, I cherish moments with my family, enjoy solving puzzles, crocheting, and exploring the great outdoors. I believe everyone has potential, and I love assisting my clients in discovering and reaching their goals

Amber Ivey

Brain Trainer

I am a bubbly, warm-hearted person who loves learning and helping children reach their maximum potential. Nothing melts my heart more than seeing a child equipped with the tools to thrive and conquer the world! I enjoy reading, completing puzzles and spending time with my fur baby. I have taught fourth and fifth grade for several years and served as a coach for novice teachers. My favorite subjects to teach are reading and writing, for with a book and a pen, there’s no limit to where you can go! I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Texas Lutheran University and plan on furthering my education in the near future.
