Sarah McGuiness has been a very crucial support during our struggle to find answers. Our 12 year old son was going through a really tough time with depression, school refusal, and gaming addiction. We knew we could no longer provide him with what he needed at home. We had tried counseling, creating an IEP at school and even a treatment program near us but it was not what our son needed and only made things worse. My friend told me about Sarah and how she really helped her family find an effective program when her son was going through something similar.
On our first call we learned so much and Sarah’s expertise really helped us navigate the overwhelming choices we faced. She guided us and answered all of our questions with compassion knowing this was a really difficult decision to make. Ultimately we ended up in a great wilderness program with the perfect counselor for our very bright son who had shunned all other counselors. Following wilderness we needed to find the right therapeutic boarding school. We found one we thought would be a good fit but as it turned out it didn’t offer enough support for our son. We were unfamiliar with the workings of how these programs work and took our concern to Sarah.
She saw exactly what was happening and went to bat for us. When we didn’t get the results we needed Sarah quickly got us on board with another school. We checked it out and transferred our son that weekend with great success. Now our son is at a school that is helping him move forward, learn new life skills and find happiness again. And we are very grateful for that.
And thanks to Sarah working with our IEP team at our local school she helped us get our district to cover the cost of the school which means he will get the support he needs until he is ready to come home. We are so very glad to have found Sarah. Her compassion and experience has really helped carry us through this journey.
Thanks Sarah!!!
