– Client

“You guys were awesome at helping me understand my son. He is so much like me that we have bumped heads so much. You all helped me hear him, which is the only thing I’ve wanted. Also, the help of allowing me to be vulnerable about my family helped me to see how I can do things different, talk to him, and allow people that I trust to continue to support him as well. He’s doing so much better in school. I will always appreciate your guidance and support.”
