Maybe you are like me about 2 years ago, searching for a therapist you can trust with the person you love most. I had a very hard time finding reviews about success stories with their children. I ended up just trying out the closest option to me, with a recommendation by Eddins that Joey Harmon would likely be the best fit for my son. My, then 3rd grader, son was expressing deeply alarming feelings of worthlessness (amongst so many negative feelings toward himself) and struggled so much with emotional self-regulation. For a long time, my son did weekly sessions, at my request. Eventually Joey did say my son was likely at the end of his need for therapy, however, we continued to monthly appointments. I just was too afraid, honestly. The amount of progress my son made with Joey, I cannot thank Joey enough. He taught my son several different techniques to deal with his “explosive” feelings. He helped him deal with strong anxieties of being left behind… of loved ones passing, and generally dealing with sad things we have to deal with in life. Now my son shows me positive perspectives at times when I’m worrying or checking in on him. I had intense fears of what would happen with my son when he goes into middle school next school year, if he couldn’t start controlling anxieties and emotions, but the progress I’ve witnessed, his teachers have witnessed… I’m so happy. My son at first was very embarrassed by needing therapy, but soon after growing a trusted bond with Joey (plus he thinks he’s very cool) he had no shame and would proudly tell anyone he was headed to therapy when anyone would ask where he was going when being picked up for school and whatnot. I cannot stress enough, if you’re a parent looking for help… reach out to Joey Harmon. A very kind human who I’ll forever be thankful for. And I know my son will never forget Joey.
