This company hires what feels like literal kids to work with your children. I'm talking about…read morestraight out of high school with little to no real experience. Many of them have never worked with children before in any meaningful way. We've had people show up whose background seemed completely unrelated, like DoorDash drivers or waitresses, with no proper training or understanding of what this work actually requires. The director is completely dismissive to parent input. It doesn't matter how many times you raise concerns. You are ignored, and brushed off. There is no sense of partnership or care. The girl that handles scheduling is inconsiderate and unprofessional. Because of this, there is absolutely no progress. How could there be? There is zero consistency, zero experience, and zero accountability. On top of that, the constant call-outs and last-minute cancellations are out of control. You cannot rely on them at all. Sessions are missed, schedules are a mess, and you're left scrambling. This company clearly prioritizes filling shifts over actually helping children. It's beyond frustrating, and honestly, unacceptable. Overall this agency lacks empathy and is the complete opposite of what they market themselves to be.

From the warm and welcoming receptionist, Cat, to my daughter's wonderful RBTs, Mariah and Ina, and her sweet and amazing BCBA, Merrin--everyone is so friendly and caring. Erin, another program director and BCBA, is a gem too. Even the substitutes have been great. We feel so supported here, & I'm beyond grateful for the level of care and attention they give. Anytime we have a concern about my daughter, they're quick to help with ideas, support, & anything we need. They even host a monthly Night Out for kids so parents can have a break, which is amazing! I'm really blown away by how special this place is and how much it means to our family. I feel like my daughter is in the best hands when I drop her off & my only wish is that we found this place sooner.

I brought my son to be seen for many factors and he was seen by Dr. Alanna Dantona-Sherer, PhD,…read moreBCBA. She was wonderful and caring and my son was naturally drawn to her kindness. She assessed him over the course of 3 appts. The scheduling dept is wonderful and quick to reply and schedule as needed. Dr. Alanna Dantona-Sherer is knowledgeable with so much compassion. It's easy to see that she loves what she does and cares for others tremendously. We have also started therapy at Lifespan with Amber Pierce, APCC and again, my son enjoys his weekly appts. Although, mental health and being observed and assesed can be uncomfortable, self knowledge from the help of professionals that care, is the best way to help yourself be your best self. My son is on the right path to becoming the strongest version of himself because of the help from Lifespan, Dr. Alanna Dantona-Sherer, Amber Pierce APCC, everyone in between.

This team is so incredibly patient, dedicated, hard working and loving to these kids and it shows at every single session. I feel lucky to have found them and Noah and I have both benefited greatly by being a part of it. We will miss each and every one of them.

We've been working with Dr. Gillian Binnie for about a year, and she has truly been incredible…read more While she supported our son through his anxiety, much of her role became coaching us as parents -- and it was exactly what we needed. She gave us practical, tangible feedback we could apply right away in our daily lives, and she kept my husband and me aligned so we were consistent in our parenting approach, which was really important. Her tools and strategies were not only straightforward and easy to implement, but also rooted in research and best practices, which gave us so much confidence in putting them into action. Everything she taught felt both relevant to our family and realistic for everyday life. She is kind, compassionate, and understanding, but also honest and direct in a way that truly empowered us. Though we only ever met via zoom, her warmth and compassion made it feel like we were right there in her office. We are so grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.
