working with Brittany
“My son’s work with Brittany was definitely beneficial and he learned stress relief techniques, taking another’s perspective - especially understanding how others perceive him , how to continue a conversation and setting up a group outing as well as working on job skills, interviewing and his resume. Brittany took the time to meet him where he was and quickly got to know him. It was encouraging to see how quickly he felt comfortable with her and felt free to open up with her about his strengths and where he needed help. I hope he will jump back in for some sessions with her in the future. ”
“Brittany was a great coach/mentor. My son grew tremendously working with her. He has more confidence going into social situations and sets up times to hang out with his friends. ”
“Brittany Pray was fantastic to work with and was the perfect person to work with my daughter. We love her!”
“My college kid just finished his second 10-week session with Brittany and we are very happy with the outcomes. The first round of sessions was more social skills and PEERS related and the second included topics he helped choose such as: work relationships, time management, interview prep, work/life balance, etc. Brittany was quick to understand his needs and how best to work with him. Both of us saw differences in how he handled social encounters and his time. This semester is a stressful one and he needs to fully concentrate on his studies, but I feel he will most likely want to work with Brittany again in the future to learn and apply new skills and ways of approaching work, school and relationships.
One thing I very much liked as a parent were the check ins Brittany had with me every 2 weeks. She was able to give me an overview of what occurred in the last session and I could share my observations, concerns or questions.”
“My fifteen year old just completed his first session with Brittany. He has become more confident in social situations, and he has grown considerably in his ability to initiate and maintain conversations. This program is a gift that will continue giving. It is well-worth the investment.”
