Testimonials

From Parents:

“Bethany has been an invaluable resource for our family. The breadth of her experiences – as a counselor, a Montessori guide, and a parent – combines with her kindness and wit to provide parenting coaching in the form of real life, really usable suggestions. She has helped our family immensely with handling both big transitions (new bed, new class, potty learning) and little every day occurrences. We are very grateful to have Bethany’s guidance and support.” — Elaine

 

“My wife and I were really at a loss as to how we were going to deal with our very assertive 3 year old daughter. Bethany was able to help us learn to listen to our children, respect their feelings, while at the same time, setting age-appropriate boundaries for them. After we visited with Bethany we implemented the techniques she discussed and as a result, our stress levels decreased exponentially. Both our children continue to grow and thrive in ways we never imagined and we now plan to use Bethany’s services whenever we need guidance or feel unsure about how we’re raising our children. It’s so nice for us to have the “security blanket” that knowing a professional like Bethany can provide. We have spoken with other parents who have had similar experiences with Bethany and would highly recommend her services to anyone who has children.”  — Sam and Claire

 

“I first approached Bethany for help dealing with my two very active, very demanding little daredevils,  but soon discovered that most of my parenting tricks were really pretty solid….it was actually my own  well-being that needed some care and support. Bethany helped me identify all of the triggers and fears  I’d brought with me into motherhood and how it was getting in the way of being the mom, the wife, the  friend I want to be. It’s so much easier to parent now that I’m taking good care of my own emotional  scrapes and bruises.” —Farrah

 ”My husband and I first came to Bethany for parenting advice to help my young son through a challenging transition into a new school and a new town. What I found was a great listener and gentle teacher, attuned to the needs of children and their parents and, most importantly, to families as a whole.

As the focus of our sessions shifted to my individual role in my family and my own personal needs and challenges, she helped me work though some of the central issues in my own life and attain a level of self-awareness that has helped me immensely, shaping who I want to be as both a parent and a person. It has been an enlightening experience that I would recommend to anyone.” – Meghan
