"Thanks, and I learned very much in your class, thank you for enhancing my life, and therefore that of my children's life also. your class really helped me very much. I am proud of that." - Crystal
"Nearly three years ago, Brenna Hicks, The Kid Counselor, entered my family's life. Struggling with a number of issues that our very young son was dealing with, we were desperate for help. At just the right time, we connected with Brenna, and the results of her work with our son were nothing short of amazing. Her brand of therapy for children, her patience, and her calm demeanor were such a blessing for us. Thank you, Brenna, for your commitment to children!" - Josh
"After a 10 week session, I am amazed in the difference I see not only in my son, but in myself as well. There are many great pointers I have learned and applied. Personally, this 30 minute session with the Therapist, and 30 minute session with my son once a week has completely changed the way we parent and how he reacts to us. (It has overflown to my daughter as well) After week 10 - AMAZING changes, and results!!!" - Amy
