Kelly BraggAimee did wonders for my child. Her approach, personality, and open line of communication were exactly what was needed to overcome a few obstacles we were facing. The practice as a whole is top notch!
Meghan ThorellMy son had the most amazing experience with Open Minds Psychological. The therapists there were so communicative and understanding. They knew exactly how to help my 8 year-old son who was really struggling. In less than a year, he was able to build confidence and strategies to help him through his difficulties. This practice also offered group sessions for him and he was able to meet with peers who were going through something similar. He just recently graduated from his therapy sessions and is doing extremely well. I am so incredibly grateful to Open Minds for everything they did for my son and my family. I can't recommend them enough!
