Parent of an 8 year old · Sep 30, 2026
She is wonderful at getting my son to open up both to her and to us. Post session, he expressed that I had hurt his feelings and asked why I’d said something to him earlier…this type of communication is something that is going to help out whole family moving forward and we are so appreciative of the work Jamie does!
