        Client Feedback

          Dr. Sasha Hileman is truly a gem. We were on her waitlist for years, and finally got the chance to work with her. She is a top-notch child psychologist who has a deep understanding of neurodivergent children and their development. Her patience and caring nature helped her quickly build a great rapport with my son, and her gentle guidance has already led to noticeable positive results.

          Dr. Hileman’s expertise goes beyond just working with children; she is also exceptionally skilled in parenting coaching. Her insights and advice have been invaluable to me as I navigate the challenges and joys of raising a neurodivergent child. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her support and look forward to continuing our work with her for years to come. I am very grateful for everything she has done and continues to do for our family.
