Kind Words from Our Clients
“I am so appreciative of the Rewire Therapy that you shared with us. The drawings that you had us do helped me so much. It helped me to release some of the pressure that my grief holds... pressure meaning a physical pressure, like a heavy weight. Thank you.”
- K.H. | Seattle, WA
“The support and love was genuine. They fully understood the trauma and addressed everything I needed for the grief that followed. I felt the load taken off my shoulders, and sharing with others in the same emotions was more liberating than I would ever have thought. Highly recommend.”
- J.L. | Seattle, WA
