Testimonials

 Dr. Nolfi’s assessments were comprehensive, synthesized and focused specifically on the skills necessary for the student to be successful in accessing academic curriculum. Her oral reports to the IEP team were extremely ‘parent/teacher friendly’. It would not be unusual for a parent to tell Dr. Nolfi that her results and recommendations were extremely valuable and that this was the first time someone had provided a comprehensive understandable explanation of what was going on with their child’s learning. Overall, Dr. Nolfi’s assessments were exceptional. 

DR. N. FRUMKIN: Ph.D CCC-SLP District Supervisor & Coordinator

 During my time working with Dr. Nolfi, I can say the elements of her character that were most pronounced were her desire to help every child she came into contact with and her endless desire to gain more knowledge... Dr. Nolfi is a professional in all areas of her work and is diligent with regard to ethical practice. 

DR. P. SHEA: Clinical Psychologist, President of NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Health Initiative

 Kristen demonstrates leadership qualities. Kristen is adept with a diverse population of disabled students, as well as a broad range from elementary students to young adults. She is well liked by students, colleagues, and parents. She has fostered many relationships with citizens, and community groups. She never shies away from a task that needs to be accomplished. She is a qualified and talented candidate. Dr. Nolfi is a capable individual who would approach a new challenge with dedication and determination. 

DR. A. STOLAR: Director of Special Education

 The Teams that worked with Kristen were impressed with her ability to effectively assess students who puzzled the Team for some time. It is my professional opinion that this ability does not simply lie within the pages of a measured instrument, but that Kristen possesses unique abilities to understand students through keen observation, experience, and analytical skills. As a member of a local review team for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), it should be noted that school administrators stated that Kristen’s skills were of high value to the district in which she worked as a psychologist. I would recommend Dr. Nolfi for any position for which she has applied. 

M. Oldenberg: DESE (Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education) Investigator

 Kristen was a highly professional and well respected member of the Academy team. Her reports were clearly written, thorough, and her conclusions helpful in developing academic and behavioral goals. She established positive relationships with students, even difficult and challenging ones who were assigned to her. Kristen has a passion for working with at risk youth and would be an asset to any organization or program seeking a caring, professional, and knowledgeable psychologist who has both seasoned experience and practical expertise for working with emotionally disturbed youth. She is truly dedicated to stopping the pipeline to prison model that sadly exists in our society today.

 I have known Kristen Nolfi since 2002 and the qualifications that she has amassed over the last eighteen years illustrates a tireless and indomitable commitment to excellence in her chosen fields of psychology and education. Her entry into the field of forensic assessment capitalizes on the skill sets that she has previously acquired and I look forward to utilizing her professional expertise for many years to come.

 Kristen has changed our lives! She really understands what we’re going through and helps us see our strengths. Her advice is always spot on, and she makes us feel confident about our future. We’ve learned how to handle stress, set goals, and believe in ourselves. She’s not just a mentor; she’s a true friend and guide.

 We would like to extend our sincere appreciation for your time, effort, and professionalism in regard to assisting with the development of Michelle’s Individualized Educational Plan that took place yesterday. This was our first IEP meeting. I had approached the meeting with trepidation, as I had anticipated yet another conversation about Michelle’s weaknesses, both academically and socially. Instead, I found that those assembled were looking closely at who Michelle is, and what she is capable of accomplishing. We value this. Not just this but your recommendations, and the way you explained how to meet her ongoing day to day needs. Thank you!
