Testimonials

Melissa has done wonders with my daughter.  My daughter had low self esteem and confidence. After only a few sessions with Melissa I noticed a dramatic difference in her.  She is now more aware of how to handle her emotions and implement her tactics that Melissa has shared with her.  Melissa helped my daughter tremendously and I am grateful for her and she did all this through the pandemic!  I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Every time I spoke to my 20 year old son, I had to ask him all the "did you" questions.  Now when I speak to my son, I can ask him, "How are you"?  "Are you having fun"?  "Are you happy"?  Our relationship is so much better because of Brian.  He alleviates much of the stress, anxiety and frustration in our relationship.  If your child is suffering from ADHD and needs executive functioning help, Brian is terrific at holding our son accountable and reliable.

Melissa came into our lives at a time of mayhem and upheaval.  She was personable, professional, kind and so easy to talk to.  Whenever I needed a confidant during times of uncertainty she was there to guide me through, and ease my worry. Our family learned so much and we grew stronger as the lines of communication were opened between us all.  I thank you so very much for all you have done for us.  You are an amazing person!!

I have found comfort in Melissa's words, structure and approach to setting boundaries and schedules.  She is open, honest and transparent in helping families move forward toward a healthy way of living.  As a parent who is divorced and navigating the waters of co-parenting, school issues, social concerns and pandemic lockdowns, Melissa has been a pillar of strength for me, my children and my family as a unit.  She has always worked fairly and set realistic goals for a divided family unit that sometimes has issues internally.  My children have left virtual meetings with her feeling they have a safe place to speak, and offered an adult perspective that she translates to terms they can understand.  Melissa's approach satisfies me and my ex and allows for each of us to talk and we respect her thoughts.  For this, I thank Melissa.

Thank you Melissa for all the work you have done with our family!  Your expertise and knowledge of our families dynamics was spot on.  It was a real eye opener for us when our children expressed their feelings about me.  It was then I realized I needed to change my ways.  Without your guidance, I don't think I could have gotten through this.  I was surprised how my husband even came on board and looked forward to our sessions. I can't thank you enough.

I don't even know where to begin.  Because of you, we have our daughter back.  It is such a pleasure to see her happy and engaged again with our family.  Thank you for not giving up on us.  Lisa K- New City

When my daughter was struggling with her self-esteem and lack of confidence, I called you and you immediately worked your magic with her in only a few sessions.  I am so grateful not only to work side by side with you but that I can call you my friend.  Jennifer Merz- Congers

Stephanie's mindfulness group was awesome!  And I loved that a friendship developed from it.  My daughter even taught me some strategies for when I feel stressed.  Thank you!   Stephanie C- New City
