What Our Clients Are Saying
“I was really looking for a therapist and someone I can really trust and talk with. And connecting with you during your workshop because you're mixed race is helping me to understand my upbringing and traumas I have suffered."
[Miranda*, 27 year old undiagnosed trauma related challenges]
*Names have been altered to protect client confidentiality.
"Regular sessions with Amelie helped us connect with our emotions, recognize it and learn to express it more accurately. Through discussions based on real examples from our family life, we were able to better understand what is going on in our children's minds. We started to change the way we react to challenging family situations and feel better equipped to accompany our children in managing their emotions."
[Sophie & Joseph, parents of Canadian family living in Senegal]
"I have been using the tools provided during our last few sessions and have really been enjoying the results of self regulating my built up emotions in my body with tapping and breathing exercises. It helped a lot to finally make the right steps for myself moving forward and have felt so much release and positivity since I made the decision [undisclosed issue]."
[Efwe, 25, mixed heritage, undiagnosed trauma related challenges]
“FocusNest has helped my son get organized, plan ahead and his grades up. The comprehensive and creative approach of Drs. van den Brink has really made a difference in managing his executive functioning symptoms. He is now more confident and I love seeing him smile again.”
[Monica, 10 year old son diagnosed with ADHD]
