Read what our clients have to say about working with Annie

“I want to write few words about our experience with Annie. My son started working with Annie 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 Annie. 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 Annie our way!”
