What Clients Say

"My 18-year-old son spent three weeks with Mrs. Rifka Schonfeld this summer and it was time and money very well spent! She was experienced and caring, allowing my son to work through his challenges and fears. Rifka helped us map out a program that would be realistic and productive. I highly recommend Mrs. Schonfeld to other families who have struggling teens."

A Client's Parent

"My 15-year-old son began to display alarming symptoms of anxiety and mental distress. Thankfully, we connected with Mrs. Rifka Schonfeld. My son was able to resume his life and complete Mesivta, and is now a thriving bais medrash bochur. When anxiety or OCD rears its head, Mrs. Schonfeld is there for us for the support we need.”

“Mrs. Schonfeld helped me change my life. I was suffering from social anxiety that was holding me back on a number of fronts including relations with my family, professional achievement, and my self-esteem. She taught me about CBT and provided instruction on using CBT tools to alleviate my anxiety, allowing me to grow and achieve in many ways. I am grateful for her support and counsel.”

“If you’re looking for an expert who has decades of experience with ADD, but still has tons of energy, Mrs. Schonfeld is the right person for you.”

D.H.

“I referred my talmid to SOS when I realized that he couldn’t read. I don’t know how he fooled his rebbeim until now, but he is a brilliant boy, and he somehow got by with memorization. That doesn’t work with Mishnayos. After several weeks with Mrs. Schonfeld, he learned how to read, and he is now one of the top students in my class.”
