We’re still getting used to the whole therapy process, but she has made it easier for us. She explains what to expect, answers our questions, and treats our child with a lot of respect.

One thing I like is that she encourages my daughter to try things on her own while still being there when she needs help. She seems to understand when to step in and when to give her a little space.
