Anonymous

"We came to Bright Star because we needed help with our daughter. Sonja’s warmth and kindness made us all feel at ease right from the first meeting. She helped my daughter manage her anxiety and become so much more confident. We can’t say enough about Sonja’s skills.”

Dr. Tuyet Nguyen

“As a pediatrician with 30 years of experience, I have been always impressed with Sonja’s astute assessment of children with mental health issues. I always enjoy her uncanny sense of looking at problems from a different angle. Sonja goes straight to the heart of the child with lots of compassion and understanding.”

“... our family has found our joy again through counselling. Our son was very angry and getting in trouble at school. He was able to trust Sonja very quickly and always looked forward to play with her in her wonderful bright therapy room. We are so thankful to have found her.”
