Brittany Pray

My son started working with Brittany roughly four months ago. She made him trust her from the first session, and this was critical for any chance of success. With patience and kindness, she guides him to understand areas that need more attention, teaches him step by step how to deal with everyday social or emotional issues. I am impressed how well she understands him, of her thorough notes that keep track of things he said, or struggled with, and of the way she plans carefully what needs to be addressed. I love it that she circles back on a regular basis, helping him to develop new good habits, routines. One other amazing thing about this program is the close interaction I have with Brittany. This way I can share my ongoing observations, so that my son’s sessions are truly individualized and based on his input, and also on observation. She has been for me a great source of education on my son’s condition and much needed support. Somehow, I feel I am doing a better mom job, certainly with less anxiety. She showed so much empathy, flexibility, made everything possible to meet our needs. I feel so grateful to have this wonderful support in our life. And I thank you for sending Brittany our way!

My son’s work with Brittany was definitely beneficial and he learned stress relief techniques, taking another’s perspective - especially understanding how others perceive him , how to continue a conversation and setting up a group outing as well as working on job skills, interviewing and his resume. Brittany took the time to meet him where he was and quickly got to know him. It was encouraging to see how quickly he felt comfortable with her and felt free to open up with her about his strengths and where he needed help. I hope he will jump back in for some sessions with her in the future.

My fifteen year old just completed his first session with Brittany. He has become more confident in social situations, and he has grown considerably in his ability to initiate and maintain conversations. This program is a gift that will continue giving. It is well-worth the investment.

One thing I very much liked as a parent were the check ins Brittany had with me every 2 weeks. She was able to give me an overview of what occurred in the last session and I could share my observations, concerns or questions.

Brittany was a great coach/mentor. My son grew tremendously working with her. He has more confidence going into social situations and sets up times to hang out with his friends.

Brittany Pray was fantastic to work with and was the perfect person to work with my daughter. We love her!

My college kid just finished his second 10-week session with Brittany and we are very happy with the outcomes. The first round of sessions was more social skills and PEERS related and the second included topics he helped choose such as: work relationships, time management, interview prep, work/life balance, etc. Brittany was quick to understand his needs and how best to work with him. Both of us saw differences in how he handled social encounters and his time. This semester is a stressful one and he needs to fully concentrate on his studies, but I feel he will most likely want to work with Brittany again in the future to learn and apply new skills and ways of approaching work, school and relationships. One thing I very much liked as a parent were the check ins Brittany had with me every 2 weeks. She was able to give me an overview of what occurred in the last session and I could share my observations, concerns or questions. I'd like to add that Caryl Frankenberger was very easy to talk to about our needs and the services offered at Frankenberger. She was quick to respond to my inquiries before and after signing up for a our first 10 week session. I would definitely choose to go to Frankenberger again.

Let me state from the get-go that Brittany Pray was one of the greatest people I have ever encountered during therapy and social skills classes for our daughter and we have been working with people for over a decade. This experience was the best one we have had and we could not have been this successful if it were not for Brittany. Brittany brought joy and comfort to, not only our daughter, but to my husband and me as well. The curriculum that Brittany presented was effective and successful, so far! I cried on the last day we had Brittany because she is such a wonderful coach but even more so a wonderful human being. Her patience, respect, and sense of humor immediately came across and she fell right in. We will continue to do the work daily so our daughter feels successful and has confidence, something she did not exhibit prior to Brittany and this program. Keep her. She is truly an amazing person and does a thorough job in her work. We will miss working with her and seeing her face weekly.
