What families say about UMR providers in Illinois

4.9from 500+ session ratings in the last year

Made my 10 year old and myself feel very comfortable and trusting in her care. Looking forward to our next session.

Parent of a 10 year old · Jul 11, 2026

Wayne has been working with our son for months. We have seen consistent improvements over time and whenever we speak with Wayne, he is very insightful and helpful with his suggestions. I would highly recommend him for anyone that wants to work with someone who always has a positive attitude.

Parent of an 11 year old · Aug 23, 2026

I’m very grateful that Dr Zuniga really listened to me and my son during our first session. She was patient and didn’t make us feel rushed. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her on a treatment plan for my son.
