The following is some wonderful feedback from a parent in which their daughter just graduated from the River of Hope therapy program. God is good!
"I just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for Kate. Sending Kate to River of Hope has been one of the best decisions we have ever made as parents. Since she was little, she has suffered with anxiety and perfectionism. We as parents tried to deal with it in our own way for many years. Just when we thought she was “over it” , a new school year would start, and we would be right back where we were before. All the worrying and crying was so hard to watch, but we didn’t know where to turn. Kate is a beautiful, well-liked, smart, athletic girl who has everything she needs to be a confident , stress free child. We just couldn’t understand why she was so timid and unsure of herself. After being referred to River of Hope Ranch by Kate’s Sunday School teacher, we were able to get the answers we had been searching for. Josie was not only able to tell us why it was that Kate suffered with perfectionism and anxiety, but helped us as parents to learn proper ways to deal with these issues, and to help Kate “rewire” her brain to change her negative thought patterns. After just a few sessions with Josie, we were able to see dramatic transformations beginning in our daughter. She has become more confident in every way imaginable. She commands a new respect while working with our dogs and horses. She has become a dominating player on her soccer team. She is now able try new things without the fear of “failing”. She has learned to deal with change in a way that is healthy. She is so much more peaceful and relaxed in every way, and is no longer worried about being “perfect”. It has been such a joy to watch the freedom that has come into her life. Thank you again."
