"My daughter went to her when she was younger and she was amazing!!!!!! I didn’t realize how much therapy could help my daughter and she really helped her grow and deal with the issues she had! You won’t regret taking your child to her!"

"My daughter played with Mrs. Brenna to help address some underlying issues we were having at home and at school. I have seen such a positive change in her behavior and her self esteem has improved tremendously. Thank you so much!"

"We have 9 yr old boy/girl twins and recently had a few major changes that was causing anxiety and sometimes panic for both kids. We tried the usual therapy talk sessions with someone else, but wanted to try something more for them. We are extremely impressed with the results from play therapy. We did both individual and group (my 2 kids together) sessions. We were amazed at what all Brenna could see in each of our kids through play. We gradually saw improvement each week and now have the skills and tools needed to cope if anything were to arise thanks to her!! My kids loved going each week!! You will not be disappointed. Best investment you will make to help your child for sure!!"

"We loved having Mrs. Brenna work with our 5 year old daughter. From the moment we met with her at our consultation we felt that Brenna knew our daughter. Brenna was describing her and the dynamics of our family and other siblings to a T having not even met her. We knew in that moment that what felt like a hopeless situation now had hope and we felt confident that Mrs. Brenna knew what our daughter needed and had a plan to get her there. We were so impressed with Brenna and how she communicates with children and parents. Brenna never makes kids or parents feel defeated or judged. She is generous in her time and efforts to provide parents with free resources through her blog and YouTube channel. Last year our family of 6 was unable to do normal family outings, or even go to a store or have family routines without a meltdown, power struggle or harsh words. Brenna helped us understand how to reflect our daughter’s feelings and how to validate her and give her choices that helped minimize our power struggles. In paying attention to all that Brenna does so intentionally, intricately, and yet gracefully, we as parents were able to reflect on ourselves, our habits, and role in our daughter’s behavior. She taught us to reflect on how our parents parented us and how that’s affecting us now, and learned strategies that have even been helpful with our other children and healing our entire family dynamic. After less than 6 months we are now able to enjoy our daughter, can go out and about and do things we used to enjoy. We are seeing the gifts come out in our daughter that she has always had that were buried in bad behaviors. She is happier, calmer, more in control, and most importantly, more self-regulated. I’d love to keep my daughter with Brenna forever but that’s not a reality. Thankfully we leave confidently knowing that we have the skills and knowledge to do the hard work that continues daily, and Brenna has helped us understand our role in helping our daughter feel her emotional best. We are so thankful to have found Brenna and love that she believes in the inherent goodness in children, despite seeing them often at their worst. Brenna believes in her methods using play therapy and knows that she can use play therapy to modify behaviors using a holistic approach. She allows kids to play like kids and bring about changes to their issues at their pace and through their own direction. Brenna never once tried to diagnose or label our daughter with something that could have shifted her identity or affected her with lasting implications in the future. Brenna showed us that she understood our daughter’s behavior was not who she is, and she helped me and my husband see it too. Brenna is gifted in her work with families and we know we can always visit her again if we need it."

"Brenna is absolutely amazing, and by far the best choice I have ever made in regards to my sons growth and development. My son began seeing Brenna on a weekly basis about a year ago at the age of 4. I went in not knowing what to expect or how beneficial play therapy would actually be. We had undergone some extreme life changes including a relocation and a move across the country. I provided my observations, concerns and background. Within about 4-5 sessions after my son had developed familiarity and realized he was in a free thinking and peaceful environment, we began seeing a lot of underlying struggles, but also a lot of progress. Brenna provided me with her thoughts and educated observations as well as action plans and solutions. My son was really able to work through bottled emotions and insecurities even at the age of four, it was so eye opening not only on his level as a child but as well as my parenting style and how I can learn, grow and cater to his personality and development. Brenna is a God send and is highly recommended by our family, we will continue to work with her and recommend her."
