        Jake does a great job relating and communicating clearly to my teen. My son is comfortable and feels safe talking to him. The virtual option saves us a lot of time driving so we are thankful for that option!

        Overall, like [that our child's] inpatient experience was phenomenal. As her parents, it was nice that we could stay with [her] during her entire stay. All the staff that we worked with during that time was critical and crucial in [our child's] recovery. And even after we've left, being able to continue working with Jake, her therapist, has been a blessing to our family. And I would recommend anybody that I know, if their child would have a needing disorder, I would recommend that they bring their child to Children's because of the quality care that our daughter received during this difficult and challenging time for our family.
