Confidential, steady care for students at New England boarding schools — and reassurance for the families who love them, wherever in the world they are.
A New England boarding school can be the making of a young person — and, at the same time, a great deal to carry. Homesickness, academic and athletic pressure, the work of finding your place socially, and the simple fact of being far from family can weigh heavily, often quietly. Most students don't need a crisis to benefit from someone steady, outside of school, who is entirely theirs.
Nonie offers confidential therapy for boarding-school students — in person near Newport and New York, or by secure video from anywhere on campus. The relationship is the student's own: a calm, non-judgmental space to be honest, away from the social weather of school.
Where it helps, she draws on Brainspotting for anxiety and stress and on the integrative, relational approach that anchors all her work — meeting each student where they are.
Distance is hard on parents, too — especially for families abroad or with demanding schedules. Nonie keeps families appropriately informed and reassured, while protecting the trust and confidentiality that make the work possible for the student.
The student's trust comes first. Family communication is age-appropriate and agreed in advance — never a back channel.
Secure video keeps care consistent whether the family is in New York, London, or abroad — and through breaks and travel.
The same therapist during term, over the summer in Newport, and home for the holidays — no starting over.
Where helpful, Nonie liaises quietly with parents, advisors, or school staff — always with the family's direction and consent.
A confidential conversation with the parent — and, when ready, the student — to understand what would help and whether it's a fit.
Sessions begin in person or by secure video, on a rhythm that works around classes, sport, and the demands of school life.
An ongoing, dependable relationship — there through the hard weeks and the good ones, for as long as it's useful.
Tell Nonie a little about your child and what's on your mind. She personally reviews every inquiry and will respond with discretion.
