Dr. Ballin has transformed a strategy that was typically used to support higher needs students and made it a highly effective Tier I intervention available to students in all grades, kindergarten through grade 12. Dr. Ballin’s Calming Corners model has been one of the most impactful Tier one interventions in our district.Brian R. Wallace, Ed.D.,Director of Social Emotional Learning,Everett Public Schools
As a parent of both boys and girls, I’ve had the pleasure of seeking advice and coaching from Amy for over 20 years as my children have grown, from ages 5 to 25. As a parent herself, she brings both personal experience and professional knowledge to her advice. I’ve consulted her on a wide range of issues, from maintaining family harmony to navigating school challenges and peer relationships. She is incredibly easy to talk to, always non-judgmental, and truly listens with empathy. Her advice is trustworthy, practical, and grounded in real-world solutions. What I appreciate most is the flexibility to reach out for short consultations whenever I need guidance, without the commitment of an ongoing therapeutic arrangement. I highly recommend Amy to any parent looking for sound advice and support!A mother of three from Cape Ann, MA
