As new parents with highly demanding careers, we got really concerned when our infant wasn’t making any eye contact and struggled to develop a secure bond with us. Dr. Vieira helped us with practical tips and strategies to create a closer connection with our baby built on trust and love through mirroring behaviour and better meetings our daughter’s needs while also focusing on self-care. Dr. Vieira has made such a different to our lives. We couldn’t be happier.

We went to see Dr. Vieira to assess our toddler’s development. She had an instant fit with our little girl. There were lots of games, smiles and laughter and she made us all feel so comfortable throughout the entire assessment process. In case of any future developmental concerns, I’ll make sure to get back in touch with Dr. Vieira. Highly recommended!!

The performance pressure that used to absorb our son’s daily life has become manageable after months of dedication in and out of therapy. He’s in a good place now. Our entire family dynamics has greatly improved! Dr. Vieira was instrumental in getting him to be where he is today.

After therapy with Dr. Vieira, our 7 year old daughter has become more confident, outgoing, and able to speak in larger groups and public settings which she wasn’t able to do before. Dr. Vieira has been a constant support and always goes the extra mile to make sure we are well informed on how best to support our little girl while going through this process. We cannot thank her enough!

Dr. Vieira has been fabulous with our 2 year old son! She did a developmental assessment over several months to determine our son’s developmental status focused on cognition, social-emotion skills, communication, fine and gross motor skills, and adaptive behaviour. We now have a detailed understanding of our son’s needs and are better able to support him with his developmental growth.

Our 2.5 year old daughter had attachment issues stemming in early childhood due to a family loss and Dr. Vieira helped us create a strong, secure bond after working together for 1 year. She's the most loving, caring, and patient medical professional we've ever encountered. We're forever grateful for her help.

Excellent experience! Our 10 year old son used to suffer from severe performance anxiety and with Dr. Vieira's professional help and the techniques our son learned while in therapy he's now much calmer and confident about his skills. He's so much happier post-treatment and feels good in his skin. We're very grateful for Dr. Vieira's continuous support and care!

Our daughter came into therapy with Dr. Vieira feeling socially anxious and very lonely. Thanks to Dr. Vieira, she has since then made 2 new friends and has really blossomed. Our daughter is in a much better place than ever before and so happy. We're forever grateful!

Amazing! The positive transformation in our son is evident in every single way since starting Dr. Vieira's therapy intervention. Thank you so much!

Dr. Vieira helped our 12 year old daughter when she was feeling down and had lost hope in friendships. After a few months seeing her every week, she is much more positive and open about making new friends again, something we couldn't imagine possible back then!
