Transformative experience that changed my life for the better.

I can't begin to express how much Erica has positively impacted our family. Her expertise, dedication, and heart for the work she does are beyond compare. She's not just a therapist - she's a powerhouse advocate.

I just wanted to send you a quick note - we've been using your strategies since Friday and they've really been working well. We've had so much more peace and control in our household!

Parent

Erica worked with us for 10 years from 2nd grade through high school. She was able to change the course of his schooling and meet his needs that were NOT being met by the school system. There's no way we could have navigated this alone without her expertise.
