    Brittni Winslow (Owner of Emerge Pediatric Therapy)

  • Melissa is so great to work with! She has helped me navigate how to get appropriate supports for my high schooler, and provided guidance on ways to best provide support at home. Her advice is thoughtful and specifically designed for our family. She's knowledgeable and we easily communicate. My child even calls Melissa one of her favorite adults - definitely high praise not usually expressed by this one.

    Krisha (Durham, NC)

  • Melissa is nothing short of amazing. As someone who is neurodivergent, with neurodivergent kids, l've never worked with someone who I thought understood and cared for me and my family the way that she does. She's helped us navigate many BIG life changes and gives me tools and ongoing creative, individual guidance to nurture my relationship with my children. She is very knowledgeable in child development and neurodiversity, kind, thoughtful and clearly loves what she does. There's no one better!

    Ariel (Carborro, NC)

  • Melissa is so wonderful!! She offers support that matches your own parenting style, personality, and needs. Cannot recommend highly enough, especially if you are neurodivergent or have neurodivergent children. She's affirming, realistic, and so helpful!!!

    Sara (Cary, NC)

  • Melissa genuinely cares about supporting other parents on this journey. With years of experience as a trained behavioral therapist and lead toddler teacher as well as raising her own children she has a wealth of knowledge and is able to evaluate and provide actionable steps to help parents overcome so many of life's hurdles. They say it takes a village to raise children and I highly recommend you let her be a part of that village we are all so desperately looking for. Melissa can help.

    Jenna (Austin, TX)

  • Melissa is a fantastic parent coach. She really helped us through a tumultuous time, as two exhausted parents with a baby and a preschool-aged child. She is kind and encouraging and takes an individualized approach, focusing not just on parenting frameworks and methodologies but also on really getting to know our family, including our and our children's temperaments and our priorities and realities as a family, so that her recommendations and guidance were grounded in what we needed and what was realistic for us at the time. We're so thankful for her!

    Petra (New York, NY)

  • Melissa has been an amazing resource for my family. Her knowledge in childhood education and development is comprehensive, and her empathic approach makes her an outstanding coach. I'd highly recommend reaching out if you are looking for any type of support or feedback on anything related to raising children.

    Desiree (Boston, MA)

  • Melissa has been a Godsend. She has helped me get perspective on my children- what they need to be successful and how to best guide them to that. She reminds me of the long-term goals and what's realistic in the short-term. She's sympathetic and compassionate when I share my parenting failures and excited for me when I share my successes. She approaches parenting support from a holistic lens that considers the whole family's needs, family dynamics, environmental, financial, and psychological limitations. She's non-judgmental and recognizes that parenting is hard under the best of circumstances and even harder when there are challenges. In just a couple of months, I'm starting to recognize improvements in myself and my parenting as well as in my kiddos behavior. It's a journey, but it's nice to know there is someone who can help me navigate it more successfully.
