Feedbacks

"Jaiden really enjoys the game activities with Amanda. He is slowly learning that losing a game is not the end of the world and that he doesn’t need to have a meltdown because of it. We are so grateful for what Amanda does for Jaiden and our family as a whole. He loves therapy sessions and responds well to the structure provided."

"I felt so lost and guilty for not understanding what was happening with my son. He was always anxious, struggled to connect with other children, and I didn’t know how to help him. Since we started therapy with Amanda, everything has changed. He’s more confident, can express his feelings, and our connection at home has greatly improved. She didn’t just help my son; she also taught us, as parents, how to handle things more calmly and empathetically. I’m so grateful for everything!"
