This is going to be my favorite review by far! Brenna Hicks has a way with children. We brought our daughter to her as a shot in the dark,... read more not knowing what play therapy was, and little to no faith that anyone could help her be better. Brenna sat is down and let us explain what we were trying to fix per say about our daughter. She asked questions and gave us insight into what play therapy was and how she mainly just let's the kids be kids and they blossom in front of her in way parents don't see or understand. After the first few weeks our daughter was changing and it was not happening in ways we even realized. She was better behaved and it wasnt until we took a step back and went back over our concerns that we were in awe over the changes. Brenna helped teach our daughter how to explain the feelings inside her. That was by far the best time/money ever spent. My 8 year old is thriving now in school at home and with her brothers and sister. She even tested out in school and is considered "gifted". Without Mrs. Brenna Hicks I dont know what I would of done for my sanity as a parent. Highly highly recommend The kid Counselor!

I had someone I knew very well that took their son to see Brenna. And the changes in her son were quite remarkable. She has a very logical concrete approach... read more and is able to see things that the untrained eye would never pick up on. Given our particular situation I had the opportunity to do training with her or to allow my son to have one on one sessions with her.

Not only do I feel like he was able to work through some of his behavior issues but I have become a better mom in communicating, understanding, and connecting with him in ways I have always wanted to but I didn’t seem able to before. The video taped play sessions allowed me to see where I was falling short and where I needed to make changes and also allowed me to celebrate the tremendous growth he and I had in our relationship. I have read a ton of books on counseling and gone to different sessions over the years but the approach she’s taking is like nothing I’ve ever seen. I have recommended her already to a number of my friends.

My daughter struggled with self control, anxiety, and confidence prior to her visits. Today she still has some moments, but she is better equipped to handle those situations with better self regulation. She is more confident and out going in public and has less “meltdowns”. Just keep in mind you as the parent are part of the equation too and Brenna definitely helped my wife and I understand that, and now we are all able to work together.
