Client Testimonials

"Ms. Renee was a patient and kind therapist who met my child’s needs every session and transformed him back into the happy and confident boy I knew in just a short amount of time seeing her (16 months). My son left knowing so many strategies that he can use to help him be successful in his life at school and home. We can’t thank Renee enough and if he needs to see someone in the future it will definitely be her! Thank you thank you Ms. Renee!"
