Children's Comments

I made high honors for the first time!
I was able to sleep at a friend's house without having to come home.
I have almost no nightmares anymore. The ones I have don't seem as real.
It used to take me hours to fall asleep. Now it takes minutes.
I feel better about myself. I get along better with my family and my friends.
I found joy in little things this week.
I gave a speech today and my face didn't turn red.
It's the best thing I've ever done!

Parent Comments

For the first time he has been able to face his nightmares.
This is the first time he showed and released his emotions.
He said he felt peace for the first time.
I've never seen him so calm.
After 10 minutes he fell asleep!
She feels better about herself and is doing better in school.
She never lets me miss an appointment.

Referring Clinician Comments

My clients have been able to learn what it is like to feel calm
and be at peace which has given them the ability to use more
appropriate behavior to get their needs met
I am convinced that Bruce's work in addition to therapy has
shown to speed up the treatment and healing process for
children and their families.

                                Comments from Educators
     You taught me so much about compassion for children in ways I had not considered before. Your input
and perceptions with our intriguing little student have helped all of us view him in different ways, and will
ultimately be part of a plan that will hopefully help him learn to manage his life."    Special Education Teacher

     Bruce has been a wonderful advocate for children as well as a needed resource for teachers. Principal

     Mr. Cote thinks deeply and is willing to take a minority position on an issue in order that the best
interests of the children can be met."    Principal

     In my twenty years as an educator I have rarely met anyone who has displayed the amount of compassion
as I have witnessed from Bruce."     Principal
