This was an incredible first session for my son. He has a hard time sitting still and he definitely has a hard time connecting with certain people... We've had some difficulty finding the right match for him but today was great. Elise was amazing and so sweet and kind and patient and she just came with so many great tools and feedback and things that made him excited for future sessions. We are very excited for him to work with her and know that she will help him so much.
