Testimonials

  • “Sessions have been going really well. Previously, our daughter would not talk about anything relating to her grief at home, but had a lot of trouble sleeping. She would not discuss how she was feeling or any memories. Lately, she has been able to discuss the good memories and is eager to share what she has worked on during sessions with Jessica.”

    — Parent of an 8 yo client coping with the death of multiple family members

  • “Thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions and expertise! We are so grateful to have you help us navigate through this challenging time.”

    — Parent of two school age children

  • ”We had to say goodbye to our family dog (for a home euthanasia procedure) . My four year old wanted to be there. Jessica helped prepare her and did a wonderful job explaining everything so we knew what to expect. I can’t recommend her services enough.”

    -Mom of a 4 year old virtual client

  • “Jessica, Thank you for all the work you do, not only for my daughter and me, but for all families dealing with grief. This is such tricky stuff and I’m grateful for you.”

    -Mom of a 3 year old virtual client

  • "She said that Jessica knows how to make ‘sad things fun’. She said that’s the reason why she doesn’t cry as much any more. Just wanted to share that you have made an impact and I have seen such improvement."

    -Parent of a school age client

  • "When my mom passed away suddenly we noticed significant behavioral and emotional changes in our 6yo daughter (who was very close to her mom-mom). We reached out to Jess for help and within weeks our daughter was able to better communicate her feelings and started to seem more like herself. It can be so hard to navigate grief as an adult let alone as a child so we are grateful to have someone like Jess to support our daughter and our family through this process. "

    -Caregiver of a Virtual Client

  • " Jessica worked with my 3-year-old for a few months. I am so grateful for all she did to help me approach the topic of her father's addiction and death. She set the foundation of support and gave me the confidence to continue supporting her through this tough experience. The individualized sessions have been so helpful and my daughter is now thriving."
