Overall, he was looking forward to his session today. He enjoys having someone else he can talk to. He has an instant connection which makes it easy and makes him comfortable opening up.

Wayne is especially kind and creates an environment of safety, and for a very nervous 13 year old and old mom… it couldn’t possibly have gone any better! I am excited my kiddo will now have someone to talk to. Wayne has personally achieved incredible things, valedictorian and poet to only name a couple of things. This is going to help my smart and creative daughter find common ground with him and really be able to hear and trust him. Highly recommend Wayne!

Great talk and made me feel comfortable. Never felt uncomfortable or like I couldn’t speak my mind or ask questions. I also was able to take positive things from the first session. Looking forward to future conversations
