Client Testimonials
We often ask for anonymous feedback. Here is what some of our clients shared with us:
Trainings & Workshops
“They felt relatable and gave the presentation in a manner that wasn't high-handed and was easily digestible.”
“Amanda and Christina's ability to make you understand the issues without making you feel bad about yourself was remarkable.”
“It was centered around understanding and empathy which I think are universal concepts that make what could be an uncomfortable conversation for multiple different groups a little easier in that it was centered around common ground.”
“They found ways to make the presentation engaging without feeling forced. The choice of videos and scenarios along with the slides kept my attention, (most 90 min workshops, especially on Zoom tend to lose my attention). Lastly, though very familiar with the topic, this workshop still introduced new ways of responding to or intervening with microagressions, which is much harder than recognizing them.”
“You were the single best presenter at a seminar I have ever experienced.”
“I would take this training a third time!”
“I am excited to use this as a jumping-off point for the upcoming session on supervision. I learned new information from this presentation and it gives me a new lens for looking at cross-racial interactions and racial identity.”
“This is the second time I have participated in this presentation, and have really appreciated it both times! It was fascinating to notice how I processed things differently this time. Once again I found that the video clips and the large group discussion about them were extremely powerful and useful.”
“I wish the entire workshop was longer so that we had more time in the small group. I'm going to recommend this workshop to colleagues at other institutions. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! I'm very grateful.”
“The role-play activities were immensely helpful in getting me to start thinking about how race and power show up in my own supervision and tools I can use to start to incorporate culturally responsive skills into my supervisory practice.”
Structured Dialogues
“It's not easy to create a space that is both safe but also very challenging -- you managed to do both. This led to more insightful and deep dialogue on these issues than I have had in other managed settings.”
“I really benefited from the focus on all of us sharing. It felt like a safe space to speak about my experiences and self-reflect.”
“I like that these dialogues were held with a diverse group of peers. Hearing other people's experiences, feelings, and opinions really gave me a perspective I would not find on my own. Many of the conversations we had would not come up with colleagues otherwise.”
“It was very powerful to experience and confront uncomfortable conversations and topics in a cross-racial group of our peers in a work setting.”
“I liked that our leaders were therapists and coached us on how to express our feelings in a way that is empathetic to others.”
“You both did a great job keeping us engaged and not allowing us to duck and hide. I liked the accountability we maintained to you as group leaders and to each other as colleagues. We broke through some of the status quo talking points and it felt good to dig deeper and seek truth.”
“I'm extremely grateful for Dr. Douyon and Dr. Weber's time and expertise. The work you are doing is extraordinary and meaningful and most of all, appreciated. This was my first time participating in this type of group and I felt so comfortable sharing my thoughts and opinions and always left the session feeling grateful and enlightened.”
“This was an incredibly enlightening course that will make me a better human, citizen, friend, and colleague. Grateful to you both for leading, pushing, and engaging me throughout the process. One of the most awakening learning experiences I've been a part of.

Conflict Resolution & Restorative Healing
“The conversations exposed the hidden and pervasive dynamics contributing to the unhealth of this organization.”
“In the most recent session, I walked away feeling like I had so much to reflect on and that we made forward movement as an organization on many levels.”
“Glad we could name the harm done in the [redacted Company Issue]. It pushed me to consider how I recognized responses I felt were dismissive or harmful but chose not to stay anything, instead leaning into the safety of my white silence. I found [redacted Name]'s push at the end of today with "what's the worst that can happen?" in response to those feelings of avoidance or fear, and still tackling that within myself and moving past it.”
“The reflective listening - it was very powerful to feel truly heard. The accountability stems were also helpful.”
“I am so grateful for the space created in these conversations. There were many healing moments when I felt heard and [redacted Group] members took accountability.”
