Testimonials
Wendy has helped hundreds of young teens and adults during her decades of experience. See what some of them have to say.
“One of the most challenging situations a parent can face is watching their child struggle with peer relationships. We tried everything- team activities, camps, organized play dates, but due to disability my son did not pick up on social cues. It put my husband and I in the awful position of trying to tell him what he was doing was wrong and feeling like we were telling him he wasn’t likable. The problem persisted into high school. Finally, after therapy and teacher conferences and everything we could imagine we found Wendy. Thank goodness!! She worked with him in a gentle, but persistent way to address his areas of weakness. She used helpful worksheets that she tailored specifically to him. She also worked with me as a parent to get as much information about how others experienced him. It was quite simply a miraculous change. He is dedicated to the work he does with her because he sees the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone of any age who has lived in the heartbreak of isolation or just feeling that you are missing something and could benefit from a little help socially.”

"As the Mother of a teen with autism, I am grateful for Wendy's services, for she's a rare individual who can make a difference when no one else can. In my son's situation, he was seemingly so close to fitting into the "typical" world, and yet, so far. Wendy takes on her clients' challenges with a unique combination of clarity, creativity, straight talk, and empathetic understanding. She has a seemingly endless bag of tricks and a passionate belief in the success of her clients. It's hard to be a winner without a great coach and those lucky enough to work with Wendy get a chance for a win at this game we call life, even when the cards are stacked against them."

“Wendy has made such a difference in my daughter’s life as well as my own. Since Wendy has been working with her this past year on improving her social skills, she is developing and strengthening her abilities toward independence. She is learning to stand up for herself while at the same time understanding that give and take is needed in relationships with family and friends. Wendy has helped her gain self-confidence and begin to accept that she is a ‘good person.’ She looks forward to her weekly sessions and has found a good teacher, confidant and friend in Wendy. I am thankful that she has this opportunity to grow.”
