TESTIMONIALS
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.
