What Everyone Is Saying…
“Phyllis changed everything!! I am not being hyperbolic when I say she saved our daughter!”
We cannot say enough about Phyllis. She came into our lives when we were at the end of our rope with our 14 (now 15) year old daughter. Through begging, pleading, to-do lists, reward systems, crying, screaming and just throwing up our hands in despair, we couldn't get through to our daughter who has severe ADD and high-functioning autism about how to navigate school and how to do life in general. Phyllis changed everything!! I am not being hyperbolic when I say she saved our daughter! Where we once had a child who was hopeless and desperate because of her challenges in school and life, we have someone who seems to be thriving. Where she was getting F's in most of her classes, we now have a kid who is getting A's and is running track for her high school. I don't know how Phyllis was able to do it, but it was 4 years of constant struggle. This recommendation is long overdue. Now, if only our kid could keep her room clean...

Phyllis was a God-send for our sons. Both of our boys struggled with college courses and finding their direction after high school. Phyllis' career counseling services were life changing for them. After working with Phyllis, both had clear career goals and were able to focus and succeed in college. Phyllis' program was perfect for them - in-depth but not drawn out so they would lose interest. In a few short months, they each went from being lost, frustrated and feeling like failures, to being happy, focused and optimistic. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Phyllis!
“Phyllis’ vast experience in education, knowledge regarding how kids learn organizational skills, are equally matched with her kindness and gentle nudging. Working with Phyllis has been essential to our daughter’s success in high school.”
“We’ve been so fortunate to have met Phyllis. Our daughter has been working with her for the last few months with Phyllis, learning how to keep track of assignments, plan long school projects, hone in study-skills, and overcome procrastination. With our neurodivergent challenges, both of us actually struggle with executive functioning. In fact, listening in on their sessions has helped me to both support my daughter, and glean methods to improve my own organization and work habits. Phyllis’ vast experience in education, knowledge regarding how kids learn organizational skills, are equally matched with her kindness and gentle nudging. Working with Phyllis has been essential to our daughter’s success in high school.”

“Grateful”
"We are very grateful for Phyllis’ services. She took the time to connect with our son to determine his interests and strengths, and helped navigate not only the college search and application process, but career possibilities as well.
Throughout the process she boosted our son’s confidence while focusing on his needs and desires and provided him numerous options. Phyllis is so easy to work with, takes the time to genuinely connect with people and focuses on what is in the best interest of the student. We are thrilled with the results and would very highly recommend her!"

“Our family’s life consists of two parts - before and after we met Phyllis. We met Phyllis as my son’s Inclusion Specialist when he transferred to a new school in the 5th grade. My son was diagnosed with ASD when he was in kinder, and the transition to a new school environment was a huge change. I was very surprised when she called me out of the blue to learn more about my son even before school began. Thanks to her, the transition was smooth, and my son loved the new school.
After Phyllis left the school, she attended several IEP sessions at my son’s school, and she helped us get the most support for our son while coaching us on how to work with teachers and school directors. Thanks to her aid, my son has received the necessary support from his school and made enormous progress for the last five years.
Before we met Phyllis, we were afraid of my son’s future. With her dedication, passion, and love for my son, we now have hope for his future. Sometimes I feel that Phyllis seems to know and understand my son better than I do. If you work with Phyllis, you will have a great teacher for your children, and a great mentor and good friend for you. Contact her and get a consultation - it’ll be a blessing for your child and for your family!”
