Testimonials

"When Miss Gina came into our lives, I didn't know just how much she would impact my family in such a positive way. She was the only one who looked past my son's behavior and saw the bright, smart, and loving boy underneath. Since she came into our lives my son's behavior has drastically improved. She helped him believe in himself again and helped me learn how to best deal with the situations I was facing with him. She has a big heart for working with children and is so passionate about it. I highly recommend working with her, her services have been life changing for my family."

"Ms. Gina’s expertise as a Behavior Specialist in my classroom was life changing! Connections and trust were built through each child she worked with. Her approach was incredibly consistent as she constructed tremendous confidence and provided needed tools to the students with impulsivity challenges and social interactions."

-Katie Hill, 6th Grade MSA Science Teacher, Brookside Middle School

"I first met Gina while working with a local mentoring program. She was matched with a child who had experienced significant trauma and who was angry at the world. Gina eased in their friendship with kindness and grace and earned this child’s trust- and love. They bonded over sports, art and their love of humor. He opened up to her and was able to express how he felt. This opened the door for a better relationship with his mom and counseling. Gina is an incredible child-advocate, and she is in it for the long run--- that is what matters."

-Colleen Duffy, Mentor Manager, Nonprofit 

"Gina has been AMAZING with both assigned clients in my classroom. In this short time, Ms. Gina has managed to help shape both boys' behavior for the better. Ms. Gina goes above and beyond to help redefine the behavior of both students, and I've seen progress with the each one of them. While these young men have improved their behavior, there is still a lot of work to do; but I do not doubt they will get to where they need to be with her help and influence. I have learned a lot from Ms. Gina, and I look forward to working with her more. She has a lot of strategies I plan on using in the future!"

-Audrea Barnum, Intensive Reading Teacher, Brookside Middle School
