We first went to Alexandra to assess my son’s learning disabilities when he was a high school junior. When I first spoke with her on the phone she asked me to tell her about my son. I probably went on for a solid five minutes without taking a breath, at which point, she said “I get it”. What relief I felt; none of the judgey, pitying sounding ‘hmmms’ or ‘oh’s’ that I’d heard from others that had no concept of the difficulties we had.
When you have a kid that functions “outside of the box”- it brings up every emotion in the world. You wonder who you can trust with their well-being and your own, frankly. Alexandra is that person. She is reassuring, crazy-smart, non-judgmental, relatable, insightful, unflappable, trust worthy- all with a healthy sense of humor. Her support and expertise were invaluable while we worked together to bring my son’s school and teachers on board with his accommodations.
She then saw us (separately & together) for a few counseling sessions. She’s like the family practitioner of psychology.
Then lightning struck again because Alexandra is also an Independent College Counselor. We had already met with another excellent college counselor although she didn’t have a lot of experience with students with LD’s. We ended up using some info from our first counselor with what Alexandra offered. She objectively considered my son’s intellect, personality and skills while assuaging my anxiety. She considered our parental needs as well as my son’s and added schools to our list that we wouldn’t have known about. She has an enormous skill set as a psychologist, parent of college students and writing coach. My kid wrote an amazing essay by meeting with her, writing and rewriting under her guidance and shazam! It was golden. Best of all, I had no responsibility for it; it was his process with Alexandra’s support. As a student athlete he was accepted to ALL of his schools- early action. He then had plenty of time to visit and consider, meet with coaches and make a confident decision.
I have given personal recommendations for Alexandra to at least a half dozen people. While my recommendations were heartfelt and confident before my son started college, I would recommend her even more highly now that he is three months in. He is thriving and happy and we owe much of this to Alexandra.
Though Dr.Matthews is helping both my teenagers work on their college resumes, she has helped us with so much more than that. Now we are focused on identifying colleges and courses of study that might be a good fit as well as financial planning and scholarships but we didn't start out knowing that college would be a sure thing for our children.
We first met Dr. Matthews after our preemie twins were born. I was concerned about some missed developmental milestones and identifying learning disabilities early as my children were at risk. Dr. Matthews was just the right person for this (she is a twin Mom as well) and I found her guidance to be accurate and reassuring.
Fast forward a few years and my kids found themselves in a situation where (they were small for their age) they were being bullied. Again Dr. Matthew's expertise was invaluable in helping our whole family deal with the situation and my children learned life lessons about self-confidence, dealing with difficult people and empathy. Both children have since earned black belts in karate!
As we hit middle school one of my children struggled academically. Her grades in class dropped to somewhere in the middle of the alphabet. Again we turned to Dr. Matthews for help. She did numerous tests on my daughter and identified her learning issues quickly and accurately. She helped us with a treatment plan that has included accommodations in the classroom, and finding a school other than our public high school that is a better match for my daughter. I also came to see the value of medication in helping my daughter focus in school. I am proud to say my daughters grades have since returned to the first two letters of the alphabet and we are planning for college for both twins!
Dr. Matthews has made a tremendous difference in our lives. She is smart, straightforward and knowledgeable. Her rapport with my kids is genuine. She is a wonderful resource for families dealing with the challenges of raising healthy productive children. She is wise to the college acceptance game (she has a daughter at an Ivy League school) and I very feel lucky to have her wise counsel!
