What Parents Are Saying
“We are the parents of a bright and energetic toddler, leading busy and sometimes challenging lives in our day-to-day routines. Our family experiences periods of highs and lows, much like any family we know. We had reached a really low point last fall, and I realized we (as the parents) needed additional help. I walked into PIL and sat down in Aleshya’s office, willing to take any and all measures to create what I thought was a safe environment for our toddler. After confiding in Aleshya and Landon about everything we were facing, they offered a service I did not realize was available to us. PIL’s very own Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Angel Thomas (who provides individual and family psychotherapy), contacted me and asked to set up therapy sessions. I agreed to the service and began seeing her individually for three months. Once I felt I was in a healthier mental space, Angel invited my partner to join us and try to work through our issues together, as one. While recognizing we are two completely different individuals with unique childhoods, our focus remains the same: to be the best parents we can be for our child. We are now entering our seventh month of therapy with Angel, and our household is flourishing. Don’t get me wrong, we still have our differing opinions, but Angel is continuing to teach us how to work through these situations as a parental unit. I am so appreciative for the safe space Aleshya and Landon provided for me to open up and tell my story. It’s not easy to admit you need help. PIL has been a blessing to our family, and I am forever grateful to the staff who have made a difference, not only in our lives but especially for our child.”
