What our clients have to say about working with us:
-
We found a therapist who has a lot of experience working with boys and teens, and he’s amazing — a lifesaver for my son. There’s a side door, and his therapist waits for him there so he shouldn’t be uncomfortable.

-
When my daughter, who is the nicest, kindest kid you could ever meet, had a psychotic episode in camp, I panicked. I was determined to get her the right help, even if it would mean remortgaging our house. I couldn’t imagine that excellent psychotherapy could be covered by our Medicaid insurance. But here we are, six months later, and in a MUCH better place.
