“A Nurturing Mind always goes above and beyond to offer the best care possible. Taryn communicates right away with you about everything and your questions are always answered timely. Prior to A Nurturing Mind, I would call places and many times, never get a returned call. Taryn will work with you to make sure you are paired with the best therapist for your situation and needs. My family was recommended to work with Zack Elisio and it was the best recommendation. I have never been happier with the progress my family has made and the impact Zack has had on our lives. Thank you A Nurturing Mind! The best therapy practice in West Chester!”

“Over the years I’ve watched caring staff help hundreds of families. Kids (patients) walk in the first day with hoodie up and barriers firm. Parents walk in the first day – exhausted and scared for their child. Slowly thing soften and kids build confidence and learn how to handle issues and parents find peer allies during Multi Family Group. I overheard a patient (probably 14yo) recently say to another patient… “I’m not usually funny – I think I must be comfortable here.” My heart melted. Lizzy McCarron provides amazing leadership.”

“Kate Baum of Comprehensive Neuropsychology Services is an asset to the special needs community. As a fellow professional, I have collaborated with Kate and referred multiple families to her practice. Kate is a knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate neuropsychologist who goes the extra mile to support the children and families that she works with. Kate is well respected among the educational community, as her neuropsychological reports have been used to develop and improve individualized programming for children with disabilities. I wholeheartedly recommend Kate to any family seeking to learn more about how their child learns, and how they can be best supported in school.”

“Dara is a highly-skilled clinician in our community with a talent for providing insightful feedback in a gentle way that truly instills a sense of safety. She is a fellow clinician in our Pennsylvania Clinical Social Work Society and has consistently provided support to our case consultation group, sometimes dropping everything to help at odd hours of the day! She recognized some of my strengths as a clinician which encouraged me to further pursue additional training that has greatly benefited my patients. Her clients are loyal and committed to their work with her. Dara is not one to promote herself, but in her quiet way is actually a leader in the field and I think she would make an excellent clinical supervisor to other therapists.”

“As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Founder of a group practice in PA that supports struggling kids, teens, young adults, and their parents, Dr. Christine Mulligan, who works with Dr. MacIntrye, is one of my go to referrals for kids and teens in need of psychiatric care. Having worked with her in varying capacities for many years now, I find that she is highly skilled in providing care to clients with comorbid diagnoses and high risk behaviors. I am grateful for her ongoing support and collaboration and would definitely recommend her to parents looking for psychiatric care for their kids.”

“Dr. Burke and her team (specifically Dr. Ursula Schwartz) are instrumental in our children’s overall health plan. Dr. Burke initially provided the evaluation and diagnosis of ADHD in my oldest and recommended further evals from other specialists including Speech and OT, which proved to be necessary. We went years without psychology, relying more on PT, OT and Speech. Eventually, we determined that mental health also needed to be a part of their overall health care. My children have learned coping techniques that assist them through their daily activities at school and at home. With a middle school child and a high school child, communication with parents can sometimes be a struggle, however both enjoy their appointments with their therapists and share with us what they have discussed (or at least what they feel comfortable sharing). Knowing my kids have an unbiased outlet to freely express themselves gives us a peace of mind. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr Burke and her staff to those seeking help.”

“Nicole and I are both maternal mental health colleagues. It has been a joy to watch her practice grow and see her impact our community through education and leadership. In the last year she has had numerous speaking engagements and presented a powerful conference on the topic of Mom Rage at the Postpartum Support International Conference in D.C. She is also a clinician who heavily supports other clinicians in our community. We provide case consultation for one another from that foundation, I have grown to have great respect for her clinical skills and keen business sense. She’s a gift to our community and truly passionate about reaching women who are feeling alone and unsupported. I’m so thankful to know her!”

“We had an amazing experience with our 11 year old. He was struggling emotionally as well as in social settings and we were struggling to help him! His counselor exceeded our expectations. Their offices are warm and inviting; making it comfortable during an uncomfortable time. We recommend their experienced and reliable services all the time and we are thankful to have them serving our community.”

Clients feel wholeheartedly cared for, seen, and heard when working with Sarah. Sarah also places an emphasis on building community with colleagues. She facilitates a successful therapy consultation group where all members feel welcome. Sarah never stops learning. She believes in the importance of continued education and training and is always at the forefront of the field. Sarah is the best of all worlds – clinically competent, compassionate, and caring. Our community is truly a better place because of Sarah!”
