I have an 8th grade daughter that is having a difficult time with her self-esteem and friend issues. We think counseling would benefit her. Do any of you have experieces with the following counselors:
Iris Dennen (Prosper)
Diane Ayers (McKinney)
Amalia Collins (McKinney)
Kim Ferren (McKinney)
Karen Hales (McKinney)
Erika Saldivar (McKinney)
Cathy Woodyard (McKinney)
Tanya Davis (McKinney)
Sharon Clayton (McKinney)
I work in a law firm here in Plano. We specialize in family law and many of our Clients have taken their children to Iris Dennen. I do not have personal experience with her, but our Clients love her. She has always been able to work through a tought time with the children and parents as well. I would highly recommend her.

Deborah Kabrane is the best! She is interactive and helpful from the get go... no listening for 9 months to give you an opinion or advice.
Good luck... C.
Linda Alexander in Richardson is excellent, is licensed in family therapy and is very good with teenagers. She helped our youngest son when he was really struggling to make sense of things. Her phone # is ###-###-####.
Good luck! 13 is a tough age, but it will pass.

I don't know any of the counselors listed, but I do recommend you find one that your daughter is very comfortable talking to - even going to several until she finds the right one.
My daughter experienced being targeted by the Mean Girls in middle school and they were relentlessly cruel. Being in a small school system our options were limited, but counseling did help some.
For our daughter, it got better in high school. Good luck in helping her find a solution.
