CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

Family Facing Severe OCD

Since we started working with Amanda and Cultivate Families, we have our family back!  We understand better what our son is going through, and know exactly what to do in moments he is struggling.  He had lost all his functioning, but the strategies we learned have him back on track! 

Navigating Emotional Outbursts and Aggression

We found Cultivate Families after our daughter was diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, and 2E.  She had horrible outbursts when she didn't get her way, constantly got in trouble at school, and was getting aggressive at home when we enforced rules.  Everything was a fight!  Amanda helped us learn skills to prevent and manage meltdowns, work with the school to get her needs met, and rebuild our family!

Finding Hope After Failed Treatment

Amanda has an incredible ability to connect with us as parents and with our children, and gave us hope after several failed attempts at therapy.  She gave us tools and feedback in a way that felt honest but compassionate.  After years of feeling judged, misunderstood, and having no results we have finally found  the help we have needed!  She worked with our child, but also taught us skills as parents to have the family we have always wanted.
