Dr. Michelle Hintz has worked with my daughter for several years now. She has seen us through medication changes, diagnosis changes, frustrations and residential care. She has been wonderful, both for my daughter and for me. She never gave up, as others had. When I first interviewed Dr. Hintz years ago, I was looking for someone with experience with violent outburst in young children, someone I could connect with who was empathetic to my situation, and someone who would commit to a long term relationship. It would take my daughter a year of weekly therapy sessions just to begin communicating. After interviewing several other therapists, I met Dr. Hintz. I was instantly at ease, and impressed with her strength and convictions. My daughter was often non- communicative, oppositional, reactionary and had outbursts of violent behavior. She had few, if any, friends, and no patience with others. She was quite an intimidating little girl and I didn’t know how to respond to her. Dr. Hintz navigated us through a process that has brought us to the good place we are now. We are doing very well, and I hardly remember those early years of constant conflict and confusion. We have found a path that works, a school that works and my daughter now has several friends. She has matured and I have support and advice when needed. I have recommended Dr. Hintz to several people whose children had behavioral issues, and will continue to do so
