“Caroline has been great because she gets excited about the work that she is helping you with. She also will make sure that you check in with yourself to make sure you celebrate small victories and make sure you are taking care of yourself. It’s not always about the work you do but also making sure you are being mindful towards yourself. ”
“I am beyond grateful for all that Caroline has helped my son with. He is a new student this year and although he still struggles at times, he is 100% more organized, trusting of building a plan and better at sticking to it. The confidence he has shown because he is learning to be independently successful is invaluable. He knows he can go to his resources like Caroline and get the exact help he needs to be successful. I could not be happier with her work with him. Thank you so very much.”
“My son is doing AMAZING. Thank you again. I feel so blessed to have you helping my son build the skills he needs to manage his ADHD, anxiety and organizational skills. Hearing him tell people “I even have a calendar now” was really amazing and funny over the holiday break.”
