Testimonials & Review

  • “Behavior Roots behavior coaching is exactly what I’ve been needing. Annie’s character and credentials as a behavior analyst make a huge difference in terms of the quality/results compared to any other service I’ve received before.A few months ago, I was stuck in a cycle of anxiety and felt controlled by my emotions. All the opinions and noise from social media and people around me didn’t help either. I have already been going to a professional counselor, but needed help in making daily, practical steps forward. Then, I found Annie.I appreciate how Annie took the time to get to know me, my past experiences, and preferences during our first session. I believe her attentiveness from that first session is what fostered our follow-up sessions to work out so well. Every time we meet, I come out learning evidence-based tools that help me to respond to my emotions. I am the type of person that struggles with consistency, gets discouraged by my shortcomings, and gives up rather quickly. Annie’s coaching has helped me to pace myself and grow in both the short and long term.I am glad to say that I respond to my anxiety healthier, have more clarity, and no longer dread the future. I am truly thankful to have come across such a warm and knowledgeable behavior analyst/coach like Annie.”

  • “Annie from Behavior Roots has been a wonderful asset to my mental health. Thanks to her coaching style and encouragement I have made big improvements in my mental health and well-being. I did a breathwork course with her and it has taught me a lot about learning my cues and given me tools to help me. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to give behavioral coaching a try”

  • “Recently Mrs. Annie Chen from behaviorroots.com had volunteered to teach ABA parent training for parents from Living Together Autistic Foundation (LITAFO ) Founded by engineer Shangwe Isaac Mgaya from Tanzania and East Africa in general. I was among few lucky parents who were able to attend this training. Being a parent of an autistic child living in the US, I had an opportunity to do ABA parent training before. The six weeks training by Annie was by far the best ABA parent training I've ever received. She was very patient and well understood even with parent who speak English as their second or third language. Mrs. Annie Chen, thank you for your time and for the lessons you gave us! Most of these parents living in Africa couldn't afford to pay for this training. May God bless you abundantly. You're the best!.”

  • I have been taught from different people about behavior management and didnt understand from the beginning to the end but through Behavior roots organization I have come to understand more about autism, mentalism, functions behavior, communications, reiforcements vs punishments. The materials are simple to understand with alot of example and now I can stand before people and testify that I have learned alot. I wish I could have more time to learn cause every sesssion i joined I learned alot of new things which are simple to learn and very helpful to my son as a parent with a child with autism.The organization also assisted us with monetary situation since we were suppose to pay alot of money but she was there to help the parents, specialists, caregivers who are from Tanzania and Uganda. She gave her time and energy to support us. We are speechless for that and we pray for the best our heart is full of joy. Annie was always patient, understanding and there to help. We had a six week session but she always understood the parents. We have alot of things that are not tolerable to most of people but she accepted us as as we were.”

  • Annie’s online breathwork course was not only informative but practical. She taught us many useful types of breathing depending on the situation, giving both background on the topic as well as time to practice during the class. I’ve been able to use the knowledge I’ve gained from this course to help with anxiety and stressful situations in my daily life. Highly recommend!
