"Allison’s body of knowledge regarding babies, kids and child development is immense. She is an amazing resource and voice of reason for parents everywhere. As a parent, having Allison to answer all your questions is like having a safety net in the circus of parenting. Allison’s calm manner, open-minded approach and non-judgmental demeanor makes parents feel like they can share their deepest fears and anxieties and know they will be safe and supported. I cannot recommend Allison enough as a parenting consultant and therapist."
Dr. Jenn Berman
Author of the Los Angeles Times best selling book The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy Confident Kids

"As a psychologist myself, it can be quite challenging to find other professionals whom I fully trust when I have questions about my own parenting. Allison is one of the very few in whom I place complete confidence. She brings to her practice a rare combination of depth and breadth of knowledge about child development, coupled with empathy, wisdom, and humor. I'm a better parent, and also probably also a better child psychologist, for having been in her groups and consultations."
Shannon E. Daley, Ph.D.
“...Allison has opened my eyes to a world of respectful and mindful parenting, and everyday I consequently feel more capable as a mother...”
Sarah McCormick
“...Allison is a guiding light who will help you navigate the sometimes precarious waters of family, parenting, marriage, friendship…
I can't count how many times a day I think to myself, 'Now, what would Allison say?'
She is just the best. Real, human, empathetic, smart, funny, invaluable, a dream."
Patricia Cocciolo
"Allison has been instrumental in helping me develop as a parent. She is a superb educator, and draws from her experience, as well as from all the recent literature available on child development. She has taught me to strive to maintain a balance between honoring my child's need to express himself and experience his emotions, while also maintaining my authority as a parent and using positive discipline techniques. With Allison and the group's support, I feel more confident as a parent, and I have enjoyed my relationship with my child more."
Kristen Melnyk, M.D.
“I have been so inspired by Allison to constantly check in with myself about my parenting skills, so that everything I do and say considers building self-esteem and independence in my children.
She reminds me…"You are not just raising children, you are raising adults too.”
Dawn Eason
"...Allison is a font of information on the latest in the vast array of parenting information and literature. She is a calming presence and a wonderful sounding board and guide through the parenting journey.
...I love being a mother to my three beautiful, well-behaved, and well-rested little boys, and I have Allison to thank!"
Molly Coleman
"... Allison is on the court as a mother of two and a wife…. I find it comforting to know that she's tackled a lot of what she is teaching.”
