What Our Clients Say

Parents

“Dr. Schmidt was professional, thorough, patient and kind.  Our daughter, who is hesitant around new people, was immediately comfortable with Dr. Schmidt.”

“Dr. Schmidt’s clinical expertise is evident.  She explained her findings in great detail and made it easy to ask questions.  When we met with our daughter’s school, Dr. Schmidt did an exceptional job relaying her findings and advocating for our daughter.”  

“Since working with Dr. Schmidt, our daughter has lots of additional support at school.  Her teachers and guidance counselor have a strong understanding of what she needs to succeed.”

“Dr. Schmidt provided me and my husband with tools and strategies to help our daughter manage her anxiety, which has strengthened our relationship with our daughter at home.”  

“I cannot stress how thankful we are that we came across your amazing services. Our child walked out of your office in SUCH a great mood and has shown SO much improvement already.’’

“Ultimately, I feel we have finally made some kind of break through with our child. I just, from the bottom of my heart, can't thank you enough for what you have done!”

“After an extremely difficult time figuring out how to help our child, Dr. Schmidt provided us with a helpful diagnosis and a comprehensive path forward for our daughter.”

“During the evaluation process, Dr. Schmidt compassionately evaluated our daughter, connected with her and us to determine her abilities and attended school meetings and evaluations to gather information to provide feedback on our daughter’s cognitive abilities and limitations.”

“After this through process, Dr. Schmidt met with us and gave us her findings.  Her findings made so much sense after struggling to understand why our daughter was having difficulties in school despite her meeting all the public school benchmarks.  It was like an “Ah!” moment for us and for her as well! Finally, someone was understanding what our child had been going through for several years.”

“Our daughter found Dr. Schmidt to be so engaging, interesting and compassionate that she claimed that she wanted to be a psychologist when she grows up (at the time —4th grade— and to this day —9th grade).  I don’t think it would be overstating things to say the Dr. Schmidt helped our daughter achieve a path to educational as well as emotional well being that definitely "changed her life for the better.”   

“As a result of Dr. Schmidt’s findings, we were able to get our daughter a 504 plan in her public school to provide her with accommodations as well as expanding on her existing GIEP. She continues to be a resource to us as our daughter matures and other challenges have cropped up whether with a 504 accommodation revision or implementation or any other questions that we have had along the way.’’

Professionals

“Kara is highly professional,  thoughtful, and most importantly a fierce and effective advocate for her clientele. The ultimate compliment I can share about Dr. Kara Schmidt is this; when it was time to have my daughter tested, there was no hesitation regarding which professional was going to work with our family, Dr. Kara Schmidt.”

“Dr. Schmidt and I have worked together on a clinical team for over three years. She is very involved in the creation of treatment plans and setting treatment goals. Dr. Schmidt keeps goals achievable and measurable. She established trust and genuine care for the client we work together with.”

“I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with your professionalism and tenacity in the IEP meeting to make sure our client’s specific needs were being met. But not only that, your evaluation was so incredibly excellent. Reading your report was very beneficial to me in my work with the family on PTSD and trauma.”

Special Education Teacher

“As a special education teacher, collaborating and working with Kara broadened my understanding of neuropsychological evaluations and various neurodevelopmental disorders. Kara's insights continue to shape my approach as our ongoing consultation extends to my cases as well as shared clients.’’
