My son attended a total of 10 sessions with Richard and I can say it was a success. I can tell there's a difference in my son's behavior and communication skills from session 1 to today. Richard also gave me helpful parenting tips and helped me realize my part in our home issues. I am very happy to have taken this step and in having Richard as our therapist.

I am very excited to see where these sessions take us. Tonight was the first session and my daughter was so vocal. She’s not the one that talks a lot, but she was very vocal and explaining things to Dr. Nancy whenever she was asked a question, she got off the phone and said to me that this is fun so once we can make it fun, I know definitely we can keep her interested which would also help getting us where we need to be.

“Elsie is such a wonderful therapist! During one of our family sessions, she introduced somatic art therapy, and it was honestly such a freeing experience. I realized how much I had been holding in without even knowing it, and being able to express those feelings through art was something I didn't know I needed. What made it even more special was seeing my daughter express her own feelings in such a beautiful way. It gave both of us a chance to open up and express things that aren't always easy to put into words. Elsie truly goes above and beyond in every session. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about the families she works with. I'm so grateful for the safe space she creates for us to grow, heal, and connect with each other. She's truly amazing at what she does! ”

Creating a safe space for healing, self-discovery, and emotional wellness.
“My daughter (11) looks forward to seeing Brittany. She is helping her learn coping skills for her anxiety and is warm and welcoming every time. She remembers small details and asks about them. 100% recommend”
“Laura has been working with my daughter for about six months now, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her! My daughter genuinely looks forward to her sessions and has developed such a positive connection with Laura. One of the things I appreciate most is that I'm starting to see my daughter actually use the coping strategies Laura has been teaching her in everyday situations. As a parent, it's easy to hope for immediate results, but I also recognize that emotional growth takes time. While we may not see overnight changes, I know the tools, confidence, and support Laura is providing will benefit my daughter for years to come. I'm so grateful that my daughter has someone like Laura in her corner—someone she feels comfortable talking to, who listens to her, and who is helping her develop skills that will serve her throughout her life. I would absolutely recommend Laura to any family looking for a caring, supportive therapist!”
