Has anyone used her personally? I'm looking for a great social worker or psychologist for my DS (younger elementary), behavioral issues, social issues, impulsivity, and trouble keeping his hands to himself (now translating into inappropriate touching but not overly troubling... a lot of age-normal stuff but a little too much). She was recommended by the school and I'm starting to look into her, she has a very complicated intake process and I want to make sure she's really good before I start all this.
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I don't live in Lakewood, and have never used her, but she writes in the Binah. You can possibly get a picture of her style by reading her articles.

I have heard great things about her from people I respect but no personal experience as I'm not in her geographic range.

Thank you all!
She actually just called me back to say that I should pursue a basic BOE eval first to see if she's the right address for him. I guess that's my next step...
These things are so frustrating and stressful.

I think it's ethical of her to tell you to first get any evaluations you can for free. This way, by the time you see her, there will be some information for her to work off. There's a reason why schools refer to her - she's honest, and she won't let you spend a lot of money on her services if a lower level of care will help you. I don't think her intake is complicated - she has a trained intake person who does a very detailed questionnaire with you, which you don't pay for - that way, when you are face to face with her, every moment is worthwhile. She doesn't take everyone on, because if she feels a free service or someone less trained can help you, she'll refer you immediately. I work for a school that also recommends her, and we've been very happy. She's really honest, and that's more rare than it should be. If she does take you on, you're in good hands. It means she thinks she can help.

I went to one of her workshops and was very impressed by her. She seems really knowledgeable and good at what she does.

Diagnosis and therapy. She's good at figuring out the kids who are confusing. We refer to her. The one thing is - if she doesn't think she can help you, she won't take you on, no matter what. It's a little frustrating sometimes, because sometimes a parent wants to use her and she won't take them on. But I guess you can't blame her. BTW, we sent someone to her and she gave them great advice of who to go to and didn't charge them a penny because she personally didn't take it on.

She has two articles in the Binah this week. You can get a sense of her style from them. One of them is about her approach towards working with kids.

Has anyone used her recently for their child? School recommended her.
Are you happy & did you see an improvement with your child?

She has an Instagram account with live events , and a podcast. You can get a really good sense of how smart and insightful she is. I haven’t used her myself (I don’t live in NJ), but I’m impressed by her.
