“Dr. Parks has a deeply empathic understanding of children, adolescents, and young adults. She cares enormously about supporting optimal development for youth and has designed creative and effective methods to achieve this aim. Dr. Parks is equally attuned to the opportunities and challenges for the adults who love and care for youth: as parents, educators, therapists, and administrators.

Dr. Parks has great respect and appreciation for individual differences as well as a deep grasp of the impact of systemic issues.

Her extensive experience in treating complex trauma gives her invaluable tools for understanding and addressing issues pertinent to almost everyone. As a professional, she is highly ethical, dependable, and brings a uniform excellence to all aspects of her work. As a person, she is warm, delightful, and a joy to interact with. Working with Dr. Parks is meaningful, enriching, and profoundly satisfying.”

Dr. June Parks' style and delivery are perfectly suited to her message of well-being for higher education professionals. She gift-wraps and delivers warmth, calm, and optimism to her audience. She has a rare talent for balancing light-heartedness and laughter with the recognition and gravitas her topics and audiences need. Through anecdotes, stories, inspiration, and experiential engagement, she guides participants to a new perspective filled with possibility. Having seen June speak and facilitate on multiple occasions, I would highly recommend her as a speaker, trainer, and facilitator for any organization wanting to support their student services and higher ed professionals to continue with excellence without sacrificing their own well-being.

“Dr. Parks’ presentation allowed me to think about youth resilience in a whole new way. Her presentation was well researched, thoughtful, vulnerable and inspiring. I had several aha moments and key takeaways I'm excited to implement. The things I learned have already helped me to interact with my youth in a more compassionate way.”

“Dr. June Parks created and facilitated a wonderful series of group sessions...Bringing this program to our school was one of the best choices we made. Our students connected with Dr. Parks’ warm, enthusiastic, and down-to-earth style. Moreover, our students-of-color were particularly joyous about seeing a woman-of-color (someone who looked like them, as they said) lead a group on mental health and talk about issues, feelings, and challenges that pertained to their lives. [The group sessions were] therapeutic, without feeling overly clinical, and engaged young people in helping them construct further insights about their experiences and within their lives.”
