September is here and, although the days are still warm, everything is starting to change! At The Wise Family we know all about changing because we experience it every day – with our patients, with ourselves and within our practice! So, in the spirit of CHANGE, we would like to share with you the exciting changes that are happening!
The WISE Family –
A counseling, assessment and family consulting practice designed
to inspire the growth of WISE families.
We are thrilled to welcome three (yes, THREE) new clinicians to The Wise Family. Here is a bit about each of them –
Kasey Cain, Resident in Counseling Resident is a mom to two fabulous daughters, loves mint chocolate chip ice cream, and loves to dance. She has very acute hearing and can track multiple conversations at once! She loves to read, dance and take naps in her spare time. Kasey’s knowledge of the school system and best practices for teaching and learning, paired with her honed counseling skills, leaves her expertly suited to work with children and their families. She believes in the power of play and that all behavior is communication.
Amanda Beyland, LCSW has called Alexandria home for most of her life. Her ideal vacation is a week at the beach with a good book (or six). She enjoys cooking and baking however she usually gives away most of the treats to her friends and family. Although she does not have her own dog she is an enthusiastic puppy aunt! In her free time you might find Amanda around the fire pit catching up with her friends or scouting new places to photograph.
Dominique Adkins, EdD, LPC is a Hoya from New York that never misses US Open Tennis, NY Giants football, or Georgetown basketball. Dominique enjoys traveling and exercising in her free time. Dominique’s love of Italian food, especially gelato, was solidified after her time in Italy. Dominique’s biggest accomplishment is being the first in her family to earn a doctorate.

“Dr. Amy knows how to relate to children and make them feel comfortable. My son was shy in the beginning but Amy asked him a couple of questions about what he likes and immediately found a connection with him. He happily followed her into the office (just after a 3 min of conversation) and performed the test. He wasn’t nervous or scared and it’s because 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“Dr. Amy is like Oprah – she’s the neighbor you love who is very, very smart”
— Parent of 14-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter“This is my 1st visit at WISE with my son. So far I am very thankful and impressed by the space. I feel light and comfortable here while my son works on his growth. I appreciate that you curated the process well.” ~ WISE Family parent
— Thankful and impressed by the space“Our clinician 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
