Testimonials for Melissa Perrin

Dr. Perrin should write a book! I’d read it and I’d give it to everyone I work with. I didn’t think I would get much out of today but she talked about things I haven’t given much thought to. As the day went on I began to see and understand things in my family life and my work life that are connected. More importantly I feel like I’ve got a template to work with beginning to shift how I engage. Lots to think about!

I am a clinician as well as a Federal Firearms License dealer. This seminar [on the four types of gun violence] was very beneficial to me in both fields. This seminar was a very open minded perspective on gun violence. It should be offered in more places.

Dr. Perrin is committed to providing us with info. She is passionate, interesting and funny – the “Rachel Maddow of trainers!”

I found Melissa’s style to be very effective because she covered clinical ideas and research then wove her experience into providing information on how to use all of that with clients (and myself!).

Dr. Perrin is excellent as usual. I appreciate many of the concepts she uses to assess a client’s decision making, identify where they can change and how to facilitate the client’s ability. I appreciate a fluid, interesting presentation with solid material like this that can be used before I leave the auditorium.

“Dr. Perrin knows. I appreciated how she gave me strategies I could use immediately. I can’t wait to try them out. They make sense and are things we can start using today. Very excited to re-read my notes.”
