"Working with Tara was the game-changer our little family desperately needed. Our 6 year old son's behavior had been getting worse for two years at this point, and as parents, we were exhausted and often at odds in terms of how to respond. Tara came to our home to meet with us, she listened, and she helped us understand some of the factors behind our son's behavior. Then she helped us come up with a clear, ADHD-friendly parenting plan that got us on the same page and gave our son the consistency he needed. It's been six months now since our last meeting and the results have lasted: happier kids, happier parents, and a lot more peace and cooperation in our home!" Elodie, Gatineau Ontario
"Tara's behaviour consultation approach really helped my daughter who has difficulty with self regulating her emotions. Tara was very professional and approachable. She is extremely knowledgeable in Applied Behaviour Analysis, answering all my questions and helping with my daughter's needs. My daughter warmed up to her quickly. Tara is very hands on and her recommendations are easy to follow and comprehend. I strongly recommend Tara and her consultative approach."Nancy Lanthier, Ottawa Ontario
"We have worked with Tara for over 2 years primarily to deal with verbal and physical aggression. She has been instrumental in creating a behavioural plan to help my son manage his aggression and anxiety both at home and at school. Tara has provided concrete, realistic strategies tailored to my son’s situation and needs. She is excellent at problem solving and fine-tuning the plan when situations change or old behaviours return. Her positive and collaborative approach with parents, caregivers, and teachers allows for optimal success. As a mental health provider myself and having worked with a number of providers for my son, I strongly recommend Tara’s approach to behavioural issues. Her services have been invaluable to my son’s success at home and at school."Tammie Moretton, Ottawa Ontario
"Tara's compassion, patience, and experience have helped me create positive change in my home. My whole family is in a much happier place. Thank you Tara!"Ryan, Ottawa Ontario
