Blooming Minds of Virginia

 “Katie has been truly amazing for my son who has severe autism. The services that Blooming Minds offer are outstanding, (and we’ve tried a few in the past!). The goals are always relevant and diverse to make sure that my son is able to do different activities in therapy as well as generalized to other settings. We are really fortunate to have Blooming Minds as our provider.”

"Katie has been an incredible therapist for our son these past several years. She is highly professional and is able to motivate our son and help him progress like no other therapist we’ve had. She has worked with him on so many skills. To give an idea of a few: speech, anger management, potty training, outdoor safety, and eating new foods. We recommend her to anyone looking for the best in behavioral therapy. Katie cares deeply about the children in her program and is working very hard to improve the quality of services available."

 “We have worked with Katie for five years and she has helped our son tremendously. He has made great progress behaviorally and socially and she has been instrumental in that. Katie is very knowledgeable. She is effective at finding solutions for our child and she is easy to work with. Katie is dedicated and professional. My son respects her and we enjoy working with her. I highly recommend her.”

"Our daughter was struggling with destructive and challenging behaviors that had ultimately forced us to make the difficult decision to remove her from her pre-school program. Our family was desperate to find a provider who could make an impact with our time window closing quickly as Kindergarten approached. Katie was able to work us into her schedule quickly. Within 2 sessions we were already seeing improvements. Our daughter would transition to her care without tears and Katie would provide us with valuable feedback that we the parents could implement at home. Just over 2 months after therapy has been underway our daughter started Kindergarten. We were very nervous given her past track record but we have been so proud of her teachers reports. I received a call directly from her teacher of how wonderful our daughter is in class and how she is meeting all the expectations they’d have of her. In addition to behavioral therapy, Katie has also added in social skills to our therapy plan. Our daughter is opening up more and more and is learning to confidently use her voice. I cannot express our gratitude without shedding tears for all the work Katie has put in over the last few months. Blooming Minds has exceeded all expectations we had!"
