What our clients have to say

“Thank you so much for your help today!  It was lifesaving.”

– Mother of a 13 year old client.

“I think she’s really feeling empowered in overcoming some of her fears around covid and wants to enjoy the freedom of that. Thanks so much for all you are doing to work with her.  She has come a long way, and we are so relieved!”

– Mother of a 12 year old client.

“You’ve been a lifesaver to us and a comfort to my daughter– if we need to resume work with you in the future, I’m hoping that would be possible. Thank you for everything.”

– Mother of a 9 year old client.

“Thank you so much for all your help over the past few months, it has been invaluable to addressing my mental health concerns.” 

– 20 year old client.

“The growth my daughter is having from your conversations as she settles into the world has been beautiful. She likes seeing you weekly, and I’m guessing she has things she is wanting to bounce off of you.  I can see her thinking through any of her friend conflicts, how she approaches her (siblings) at home, and how she even constructs her arguments.  She is far more logical in her approach v. her overwhelming frustration. Whatever the two of you are doing – it is really working.  Her emotional intelligence is far more balanced right now. When we came to you I was so worried for her. She has really grown so much with you – THANK YOU!”

– Mother of 12 year old.

“I wanted to reach out because (my daughter) has brought up a few times that she’s feeling like she’s in a wonderful place and feels like it could be time to ease off of therapy. And I agree, she does seem settled and is able to work through big emotions in a safe and beautiful way.  Our whole family is so grateful for the amazing service you’ve provided. Thank you for being available and so wonderful to work with.”

- Mother of 15 year old.

“I wanted to get in touch to let you know that (my daughter) is doing really well and is still using the tools you gave her to manage her anxiety. She recently went to stay with friends in a remote cabin and before going she was getting very anxious about bears! But she looked up the stats and agreed that a bear encounter was so unlikely that she didn’t need to worry about it! Thank you for all you did to help us and her.” 

- Mother of 8 year old.

“I told (my daughter) tonight that I am so grateful that she feels comfortable talking with you and looks forward to seeing you each week. Your support means so much to us!” 

– Mother of 15 year old.
