WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Beth, Parent
"I highly recommend Sarah Macek and Tandis Taj from Connecting Us! They have been working with my college-aged son for the past several months and have already made such a huge difference in his life. They have helped him navigate a variety of real-life social situations at college such as dating, appropriate use of humor, misunderstandings with friends, and e-mail/texting guidance--just to name a few! My son feels like he has two communication experts in his corner. This makes him feel more comfortable and confident out in the world. They are also such kind and caring clinicians. We can't thank Sarah and Tandis enough!"
Josh, Program Manager

Gabe, client
I'm Gabe, a client of ConnectingUS. Sarah and Tandis have been helping me develop my social skills with individualized meetings for around a year now, and I've already seen so much progress. They've helped me step out of my comfort zone to own social scenarios I would normally never enter in my life, and as a result, I feel much more confident in my social and communication skills. Sarah and Tandis have broken down social skills into simple steps, a way that allows me to understand what goes on in communication. I'm grateful for how ConnectingUS has helped me, and if your story is similar to mine, I recommend taking a look.
