This was our first session with Dr. Jon Skidmore. We had a great evaluation and he was really easy to talk to. We were able to express our concerns easily and successfully. We look forward to his assessment and possible treatment plan.

The session was conducted well. My concern is my child isn’t transparent in these sessions. We discussed his reactions to things and after the call he was angry, saying I had lied, to the point that he broke a plate, tried to destroy a rug and furniture. We explained we would take his gaming device for the remainder of the week, which we did as he responded poorly. After some hateful comments and cussing, he calmed down and we worked on his homework together.

Dr. Jon introduced me to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Framework in a way that really made sense. He explained it with care and clarity, and it gave me a whole new perspective on how to understand and work with the different parts of myself. It was one of the most insightful sessions I’ve had so far.
