About
Families don’t come to this work because things are mildly hard.
They come because anxiety or avoidance has reshaped daily life; school isn’t working, routines feel fragile, and parents are carrying more than they can sustain alone. Life has narrowed, and what used to feel manageable no longer does.
Choice Point exists for families navigating those moments; when the goal isn’t perfection, but getting life working again.
What makes our work different is that we focus on what happens outside of sessions, in the real-life moments where progress either stalls or starts to take hold.
Our Story
Sheree Emmons and Holly Banusiewicz have been working together since 2013, across schools, clinical settings, and real-world implementation, with a shared focus on one core question:
How do we help kids move forward in real life?
Over the years, they kept seeing the same problem: kids often know what to do, but struggle to do it in the moments that matter most. Families are given advice, schools put supports in place, and clinicians teach valuable skills; but day-to-day life can still feel stuck.
Choice Point was built to close that gap.
Together, Sheree and Holly created Choice Point to bring evidence-based, practical, real-world support to kids, teens, and families navigating anxiety, avoidance, and the challenges that come with them.

Holly Banusiewicz
Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer
Holly Banusiewicz is Co-Founder and COO of Choice Point. She brings over two decades of experience across education, program leadership, and behavioral health.
She spent 18 years in public education supporting students and families navigating learning differences and complex educational challenges, building a deep understanding of how academic, emotional, and environmental factors affect student success.

Our Approach
Practical, coordinated, and deeply relational.
We help families translate insight into action.
That means supporting parents in how they respond, helping kids build tolerance for discomfort and take small, meaningful steps forward, and creating more structure around the moments where anxiety and avoidance tend to take over.
We also work collaboratively with schools and other providers so families are not carrying the full weight of coordination alone.
This work is not about fixing a child.
It’s about helping the system around them function differently.
Progress does not mean anxiety disappears. It often looks like calmer mornings, fewer power struggles, increased engagement with school or daily responsibilities, and a growing sense that life feels more manageable again.
This work is intentional, hands-on, and designed for families whose lives are being actively disrupted and who are ready for coordinated support.
