Rita has given us new insights, new approaches, new strategies and unending support

We came to Rita during a difficult time. Our family had undergone loss, a move, and for our adolescent daughter, depression. All of the strategies and supports that worked earlier, no longer were working for us. It was overwhelming and very frightening. Then we began working with Rita. My observation is that sometimes, for lack of understanding, we focus on and tend to treat symptoms rather than causes. Rita has so wonderfully engaged my daughter and myself to see beneath the surface to identify thoughts, emotions and behaviors that may be finding a negative expression in the way we think or act. As a parent, I cannot explain the stress and desperation you feel when your child is not sleeping, not enjoying anything they used to, have no energy, have no desire and try to function everyday under a darkness. Working with Rita has given us the keys to unlock what was hidden and unknown in our daughter's mind and heart, as well as helped us to understand how, as a family, we function as a unit and can have a large influence on one another. Rita has given us new insights, new approaches, new strategies and unending support. We are seeing improvements every week and I now can see we have the missing piece to help our daughter navigate her large emotions. Rita's wealth of experience, positivity, compassion and energy has given us the support we needed. We are very grateful.
