Thank you to Alison at Tender Hearts counseling. We started seeing Alison last year for our 8 year old's anxiety that was affecting her. Alison was able to see right away, I don't know how, that she needed help regulating her nervous system. This, and her ability to connect and provide a safe space for our daughter has helped her progress. She felt like she had a person outside the family that could normalize her feelings as well and this has been a tremendous help.

With care, empathy, and actionable advice, Allison has helped my two kids navigate the challenges of ages 3-6 and build their confidence along the way.
We have had a wonderful experience with Tender Hearts Counseling. Aubrey has been amazing with my adolescent daughter. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of service and responsiveness of the provider.
Excellent therapy services with Aubrey Berry. My daughter gained useful tools and strategies that help her manage challenges and support her well-being long after sessions end. Professional, effective, and highly recommended.
My family has a strong genetic disposition for OCD. However, none of us knew what we had, what it was called or how to treat it until adulthood. When our son started showing signs at age 8, I began the endless search for a child therapist. While we were put on multiple waitlists, our son’s OCD symptoms really exacerbated. Enter Allison- who will be a treasured member of our village for always. She made room for us and her connection with our son was instant. His relief after just one session was palpable. She knew right away the correct modality to treat OCD, which is not always evident to clinicians. After about 6 sessions, he is doing so so well. I also benefit from Allison greatly with my own OCD, its been really healing for me as well. The office waiting room is warm and welcoming, where kids sit with their parents relaxed and without shame. I couldn’t recommend Allison and these clinicians any higher.
I thank God every day that I found Tender Hearts Counseling and in particular Jason Jeffery. He has such a warm heart and spirit that it shows through his smile. His attentiveness and careful listening of my son has helped us on our journey. He hears what’s there and what’s not there. He pushes my son to be honest and feel safe in his honesty. My favorite quote of his is “smoke and mirrors” when either he or I try to deflect. I’ll be honest they don’t take insurance but it is worth EVERY PENNY! Jason is a treasure! Look no further.
Allison's the best. could not recommend more.
Allison has been an amazing therapist to both of our children and our family. She saw each child’s needs ( one is 7 and the other is 11) and adapted to these. She was able to address our boys’ and our family’s needs with empathy, love and care while teaching both boys and us valuable tools and skills that we take with us and which have made the boys thrive. We could not recommend her more! Thank you Allison!
Michael was wonderful. He helped us through a tough time. He was available right away.
I saw Michael MCcoy who was fantastic. Easy ro talk with and discussed many approaches to my issues. Thankfully they worked smoothly. Even after I try to check in every once and a while . Highly recommend
