Tracie was a phenomenal resource to our family during the past school year! We were struggling to parent our 6-year-old son who had been diagnosed with ADHD. As a result, he was demonstrating increasing "problem behaviors" and defiance. Tracie's Parent Management Training course helped us by giving us the tools we needed to skillfully work with our son through this time, building his self-esteem and cooperation and our overall competence levels as parents. By the end of the course, my son was doing so well that he no longer needed behavioral status reports in the classroom or private therapy sessions. He has continued to thrive ever since! We can't thank Tracie enough for her amazing work with us.

When we called Tracie we were desperate. My 4 year old had just thrown a wooden hammer at my head for no apparent reason. We had been through hitting, biting fits where we felt desperate and didn't know how to stop it. We had been to multiple parenting classes and read many books and nothing was working. In fact, I think it was making it worse. I am a strong believer in positive discipline, and never thought I would do time outs or rewards. I was so worried about having my son feel heard, and I didn't realize that I was failing to set calm limits for him that he needed and we were actually reinforcing the negative behavior.
With Tracie, WITHIN 24 HOURS THINGS RADICALLY IMPROVED!! IT WAS LIKE MAGIC! We are so grateful that Tracie helped us find a way to set limits while being kind and respectful and calm. In fact, using her method made me feel like I was being a calmer, kinder parent than with the other methods. I listen to other struggling parents with strong willed children and I am so grateful that we found her when we did. I LOVE being with my 4 year old now and our home is peaceful and happy!
THANK YOU!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of my husband and myself for all the support you provided us. As mentioned to you, I was feeling really hopeless and to a certain point depressed for not being able to get my son to follow instructions or behave well. This is when I read the book from Dr. Kazdin and was able to find you at the beginning of the year. My son was my top priority in 2014 and thanks to your help, support, advice and teaching, we have seen massive results not only in him but in us, as parents as well, which we believe was the key to get him to change.
When I look back to where we started 4 months ago to where we are today, I cannot believe how much things have changed in our lives for the positive. Our home feels safe, secure and quiet. The constant yelling, pulling, hitting or expressions of negative emotions seem to be something from the past.
All we can say is THANK YOU because only when one experiences such difficult times, one can realize how important the help of someone as qualified as you are, would mean. Thank you for your patience, willingness to help and flexibility with the schedule.
Our experience with you was an excellent one and we highly recommend you for those parents who at this very moment, cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel because of issues with their kids. They just need the right help and the right coaching to get them where they want to be, so I just hope they find you in the same way we found you.
The job is not done... With kids it is always a work in progress, but we are so thrilled and enthusiastic with the tools we learned, that we feel we can always reach out to them to overcome future challenges.
Thank you once again for improving our lives for the better.

My heartfelt thanks to this remarkable PMT program! Without Tracie's guidance through the use of these skills I can't imagine what would have happened to my daughter. She made a dramatic turnaround from a defiant, rude, disrespectful teenager to a calm decent person to be around. I'm not saying we don't have our moments but they are few and far between!
