– Stephanie Sarnoff, Executive Director, Schaumburg Township District Library
It isn’t easy to maintain the attention of 35 experienced psychotherapists who have “heard it all.” Dr. Sasser succeeded with flying colors! Interesting, informative, clinically relevant and entertaining, I would highly recommend her workshop on memory for the lay person and professional alike.
– Glenn Weiss LCSW, CADC, President, Arbor Counseling Center
Oftentimes, speakers that talk on more dense topics are rather dry, but Linda makes her presentation about the brain fun and engaging. She is an excellent presenter for staff days and really helps kick our brains into action!
