"After a few sessions with you, Nathan became aware of how he was carrying himself. We noticed a change in his gait. He was straighter, taller and more assertive in his walking. His gait was that of a confident man... He beamed with pride as I went on and on about how differently he presented himself. It shook me up!"- from a letter to Ron Rubio from a mother of a 22-year-old client with Asperger's Syndrome
