Family and Individual Testimonials

Mama Testimonial of support facilitated for herself as a care-giver and for her 3-year-old daughter:

‘From my perspective, working with you gave me the bandwidth and capacity to process my own emotions while holding space for those of my children and spouse, which I did not have before.  I have been able to steady the waters in our house and be a safe and stable space for my kids to process their emotions.  We still have tantrums and big emotions, but how they are handled looks and feels totally different now!  I’ve also been able to reframe how I view my kids when they are having a hard time- instead of thinking there is something wrong with them or they’re acting that way on purpose, I view their actions from a perspective of compassion, empathy and understanding that the actions are a product of the state of their nervous system, health, and feelings of well-being.

The resources you provided me with outside of our sessions were also incredibly helpful and an extension of our work that I’m now able to refer back to when I need.

[My kiddo’s] favorite times with you were walking in the woods, playing with walkie talkies and making flower art.  She loved holding Bruno and seeing the llamas, and still shakes the glitter jar she made with you when she needs to calm down.  I still hear her repeat things she learned with you as a tool to calm down or process something that happened.’

Family Testimonial of support facilitated for their 7-year-old daughter:

‘Our experience with Care-O-Van has been incredibly positive. Meg’s compassionate and child-centered approach has helped our child feel comfortable and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. Meg skillfully creates a safe space for children to express themselves and work through their challenges. We’ve seen significant improvements in our child’s emotional well-being and coping skills since starting therapy with Care-O-Van.

Meg's animals are a perfect fit for our child's animal-loving soul and immediately made them feel comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. Between all of the members of our family, we have used many therapists over the years and by far Meg has outshined them all, immediately connecting with us all and bringing us peace. We all look forward to our next trip to Care-O-Van.

We highly recommend Care-O-Van for anyone looking for support.’

Family Testimonial of support facilitated for their 10-year-old son:

“My son’s birthday fell on his therapy day, so I gave him the choice to not go to therapy if he wanted to do something else for his birthday instead. I was just blown away when he responded:

‘I love seeing Ms. Meg!

Why wouldn’t I want to go to therapy on my birthday?!?

I want to go on my birthday!’”
