It is my great pleasure to write this long overdue review for Dr. Brendan Pratt. He comes with our…read morehighest recommendation. I have just come home from an IEP meeting at my son's 9th grade school. It went incredibly well, thanks to the fantastic evaluation written by Dr. Pratt. The school psychologist said at our meeting that Dr. Pratt's report was one of the best he has ever seen, and it was obvious that he has worked successfully with many school districts and knows exactly what the district will require in order to provide services. We are thrilled that our son is going to be given all of the requested accommodations he needs to be successful in high school. We have also worked with Dr. Pratt when our son was in kindergarten and needed a referral to the wonderful Charles Armstrong School for learning differences, which he attended from 1st grade through 8th grade. Dr. Pratt made the recommendation for the Charles Armstrong School, and it was the best educational experience for our son and our family, given his learning differences. Previously, we attempted to transition back to our local middle school by initialing requesting an IEP through our local public school. We have been denied services several times when receiving the evaluations from the school district psychologist. We are so glad we returned to Dr. Pratt in 8th grade for the evaluation that has made Max's transition to high school so wonderful. Because of our work with Dr. Pratt, we were able to start high school with a 504 plan in place which gave Max accommodations from the start of the school year, while we waited for the IEP process to take place. We could not have successfully navigated the system as well as we have without the invaluable support and expertise of Dr. Pratt. Best of all, Max says Dr. Pratt is COOL! Thanks, Brendan! We are filled with gratitude for all your help dealing with these complex issues. Happy Holidays!

Whenever I want to quickly change or improve something about myself and my life, now my new first step is a hypnotherapy session with Bridget. I found that Bridget utilizes a combination of education, intuition, and compassionate communication in a creative way to help you have breakthroughs that were previously difficult, costly, and time consuming. Her sessions were so effective that I was actually able to stop biting my nails after one session! And nail biting wasn't even the habit I was trying to break or the reason why I sought hypnotherapy.   How cool is that? :-) Go in for one kind of empowerment and come out seeing how your newfound empowerment is quickly multiplied!  [Thank you, Bridget!  You make healing, growing, and thriving so much fun! ~cmj]
