WHEN MY SON TURNED 2 YEARS OLD, WE NOTICED THAT HE SEEMED TO ONLY HAVE TWO WORDS UNDER HIS BELT AND WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED THAT HE COULDN’T COMMUNICATE WHAT HE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD. ELAINE HAS MORE THAN JUST A GOOD BEDSIDE MANNER. WHETHER SHE IS TALKING TO YOU OR YOUR CHILD, SHE IS ENCOURAGING WHILE BEING REALISTIC, LOGICAL WHILE PASSIONATE, AND DETERMINED WHILE CONSISTENTLY WEARING A SMILE. MY SON ABSOLUTELY LOVED BEING AROUND HER AND NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT GOING TO A SESSION. IF WE HAD TO MISS A WEEK HE DEFINITELY SEEMED DISAPPOINTED.
NOT ONLY DID SHE KEEP FOCUSED ON HER GOALS AND SURPASSED THEM WITH MY SON, SHE ALSO HELPED HIM ENGAGE IN OTHER AREAS SHE THOUGHT COULD USE SOME NUDGING, SUCH AS BUILDING SOCIAL SKILLS AND INTERACTING WITH OTHERS. SHE NEVER FAILED TO SHOW ME KNOW HOW PERSONALLY INVESTED SHE WAS IN MY SON’S PROGRESS AND IT SHOWED IN HIS UNENDING TRIUMPHS UNDER ELAINE’S GUIDANCE. MY SON NOW HAS MORE WORDS THAN I CAN KEEP UP WITH, ALL THANKS TO ELAINE AND HER FABULOUS WAYS OF WORKING WITH CHILDREN. I APPRECIATED THE WAYS IN WHICH SHE COMMUNICATED TOPICS THAT I KNEW LITTLE ABOUT SO THAT I COULD FEEL SAFE LEAVING HER WITH MY LITTLE ONE. THE ENVIRONMENT SHE PROVIDES IS SO SUPPORTIVE AND COMFORTING. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME EXCELLENT GUIDANCE FROM AN EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE THERAPIST, LOOK NO FURTHER! THANKS ELAINE!
