My experience with Perspectives staff has been nothing short of amazing. They care about the children they work with. They've taken the time to lay down a foundation of trust and build a relationship with them.
This in turn has allowed them to evaluate what is happening with my children with more clarity and understanding. They are then able to relay that info to me and my husband in a way that helps us address what our children need.
Our daughter has made tremendous progress. She continues to grow mentally and has truly done a180 compared to the way she was before she started therapy. Having a teenager growing up in this world today is stressful enough, but with supportive therapists, we have been handling life and the blows that it has been throwing very well.
