“Amy brings together the best emotion-focused strategies with cutting-edge brain science to change the lives of children and families”

— Parent of adopted twin girls

Amy knows how to relate to children, and make them feel comfortable . My son was shy at the beginning but Amy asked him a couple questions about what he likes and immediately found the connection to him. He happily followed her in the office (just after a 3 min of conversation) and preformed the test. He wasn’t nervous or scared and it’s bc of her ability to relate to kids.

We had a great experience and he wants to go back! Thank you very much!

— Dad of 5-year-old assessment client

Thank you very much for testing my child and getting us the report so quickly. We know how busy you are and appreciate the rapid response. We are grateful for your time. It has made a difference in my child’s schooling, and I can’t thank you enough! Yea, Wise Family!

PS. I have even used the triangle breathing technique I read about on your office door recently. You make a difference in all kinds of large and small ways.

— Parent of 9 year old testing client

She has been a tremendous help with family issues and getting our children organized for success in life. Highly recommend her.

— Mom of three young adults ages 20 – 24
