Found a Way to Reconnect

“My adolescent daughter was on a very self-destructive path. I feel so fortunate to have found Veronica, who somehow found a way to connect with a girl who was disconnected from everyone. Veronica worked directly with my daughter, but also worked with me in a way that helped me to support my daughter’s recovery and growth in a way that also respected her confidentiality. Veronica helped my daughter (who is now a college student) to develop the insight and tools to understand her own needs and desires and to make good choices in life.”

The Pace of Change

“When we first came to Veronica, we were in a state of crisis with our child. Being in the Silicon Valley, we were used to things moving at a fast pace, so naturally we wanted a quick solution to the problem. Veronica helped us to quickly see that the problem was not just our child’s, but it involved our whole family and the ways in which we communicate. She gently guided each of us, separately and together, through our own process of finding what made sense to each of us. Although the journey was much longer than we anticipated, we are all so much better equipped to handle the ups and downs of our lives and our communication has improved dramatically. It is difficult work to look into the mirror, acknowledge your faults, understand how they came to be and then do the work to improve them. Veronica is a great guide for the process. For me personally, she helped me to distill each decision down to a simple mantra of “it will either work, or it won’t” and that all I really have control over is how I let things affect me. This has proven to be incredibly freeing”
