If you're looking to find a rare gem that understands your needs and actually helps, LOOK no further. I cannot recommend Kristene highly enough. Unlike many mental health professionals who focus solely on medication, she takes a truly 'wholesome approach' to healing. Kristene brings a deep knowledge of both traditional and alternative solutions, and works with you to find what truly resonates and supports your long-term well-being.
My son and I have had a wonderful experience with Mrs. Wade! My son feels very comfortable speaking with her due to her kindness. He tells me that the tools she teaches him actually help him with his anxiety. He even shares some of the skills he learns with me! I love how Mrs. Wade includes both parents in our child's therapy so that we can all be on the same page.
So professional, I liked my class and Joana was quite nice and helpful in her classes. Explaining the Dos and Donts per regulations. It made it easier to understand.
