Our first therapy celebration of the year
This client has been in therapy with Anastasia for about 6 months, and the entire team was excited to celebrate her therapy graduation with her. As we do with all graduations, her advocate purcahsed some treats, a present, and we all signed a copy of Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
This client was so excited to have the attention on her. She was beaming and clearly SO PROUD of herself for what she accomplished. The most special part of the celebration was when she opened her pink cookies and brownies, making sure to give one out to each member on the team, one by one. We are all still talking about it weeks later!
