What They Say about Dr. Crenshaw's Presentations and Workshops

"Dr. David Crenshaw is a master clinician who has the ability to combine both theory and clinical application in his work with seriously at-risk youth.

He has a wealth of information to teach and share and participants in his workshops always come away with enhanced understanding and new commitment to working with needy and troubled children."  Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, BCD, RPT-S, Distinguished Professor and James R. Dumpson Chair in Child Welfare Studies--Fordham University 

"I would like to add my enthusiastic endorsement for Dr. David Crenshaw's presentations, most notably "Fawns in Gorilla Suits." I have heard David several times, and as an experienced presenter myself, have found his presentations both highly informative and quite humorous. He keeps his audience captivated from start to finish. He is a presenter with much to tell!!" Lois Carey, LCSW, RPT-S, Past President, New York Association for Play Therapy.
