Parent Feedback
“Ours is a success story thanks
to you! Our seventeen-year old son, Clint, was in very serious trouble
during
his junior year in high school. And, our family was in a crisis situation.
We were desperate to help him and had tried every conventional means,
or so we thought. Thanks to your knowledge and clear understanding
of what we needed to do, we were able to navigate through the storm.
We were concerned that we had waited too long and that he was too
old to be accepted into an adolescent treatment program. But, because
of your expertise and excellent reputation, the emotional growth
boarding school you chose for Clint accepted him immediately. We
realize now that we would never have gotten him into this excellent
facility without your recommendation.
Clint has grown into the most wonderful, self-confident, loving
and happy young man. He’s a delight to be around and he’s
excited about his future. Clint loves to tell people that that he’s
a miracle. He believes that Lindy Kahn helped save his life, and
we agree! Thanks for everything.”
Mr. & Mrs. W, parents
of Clint
"I owe Lindy a huge thank you for helping with Eli.
I don't think parents faced with a child in crisis can successfully navigate the therapy
options without someone with the skills and knowledge that Lindy offers.
We struggled for nine months with therapists, testing, and medication adjustments until
talking with Lindy. In just a few days she had our son on the path to reclaiming his life.”

"The problem with the English Language is that
words do not adequately express appreciation. Japanese is a little
better
because
you can
convey in Japanese the deepest and most appreciative thanks by saying
"domo arigato gozaimasu," which means great thanks. But, English
just does not seem adequate, or I am not articulate enough, to covey
to
you the deep thanks that Johnathan's grandparents, Aunt Peggy and
I feel to you for what you have done in helping us find a school
for Johnathan.
From me, I simply can say thank you from the bottom of my heart;
but, it seems so inadequate. But as I think about it, I am thanking
you for the wrong thing. It is not for placing a child in school
that I owe you thanks. It is for taking a child that God put in my
life and finding a school to help save his. And with those facts,
the words thank you take on a new and different meaning, and it is
that degree of appreciation that one hears in Joy's voice or Aunt
Peggy's thanks that I hope I am trying to express in this simple
e-mail."
Mr. G., mentor to Johnathan, age 11
"Thank you for all your help. We appreciate all that Lindy has done for Laura to complete this task in a timely manner. We have certainly gained a new perspective on the entire college selection process. I know Laura will land somewhere wonderful and continue growing into an exceptional person."
Mrs. D., mother of Laura, high school senior
"Last year, when our 16 year old daughter was troubled, truant, unmotivated and
involved with drugs, we knew we had to act, but did not know how best to respond.
We were investigating boarding schools, local schools, treatment centers and
other options. The amount of information is overwhelming and we did not want
to waste money on something which might not be effective. In searching the internet
one Saturday, we came across a web site referencing Educational Consultants.
However, we chose to work with Lindy Kahn because she gave us the most positive
feeling, was enthusiastic and
very knowledgeable. She provided choices in so far as escort services, wilderness
programs and therapeutic boarding schools. It made us feel comfortable to realize
that Lindy knew the facilities which she recommended, knew personnel and settings
and had personal contact with the parties. She gave us several choices each step
of the way. We stopped feeling overwhelmed and started feeling empowered and
hopeful for our daughter. She is doing much better and moving on with her life.
Thank you Lindy, for all your help!"
Mr. & Mrs. B., parents of Caitlin,

"During a period of several months when my 12 year old son was experiencing severe behavioral and emotional problems you provided clear, concise direction which we desperately needed at the time. We were receiving contradictory information from the mental health professionals and we were struggling to make the correct choices in treatment for our child. I truly believe that without your guidance my family would not be intact today."
Dr.
and Mrs. M., parents of Michael
"You did so much to help my son with his essay and applications.
We would not have been able to offer him the precise, detailed supervision
during the application process that you were able to do."
Mrs. F., mother of Igor - Rice University graduate
"I once thought that educational consultants provided services
only for the wealthy families of gifted, college-bound children.
I turned to Lindy Kahn & Associates for help with our daughter,
who was suffering from severe depression and substance abuse. The
weekly counseling sessions previously recommended by physicians and
social workers had proven to be woefully inadequate and the family
was in turmoil, as our daughter engaged in more self-destructive
behavior. Lindy helped my husband and I find residential treatment
programs that, quite literally, saved our daughter's life. She recommended
programs that were staffed by competent professionals who understood
the problems of troubled teens and that provided an opportunity for
our daughter to complete high school and learn to make better life
choices. Our daughter is now on the road to recovery and we are deeply
grateful to Lindy for all of her help."
Mrs. A., mother of Erin
"Thank you, thank you for your support! Wilderness and the therapeutic boarding school you sent us to worked a miracle. We can't thank you enough for directing us to them. We continue to be very much in touch with the wonderful individuals at our son's school. Ben is a freshman at University of Puget Sound and could not be happier. We have our son back!"
Mrs. H., mother of Ben
