His motivation diminished. It was a tough journey. James and De Andre were lifesavers. They were incredibly helpful, calm, and equipped with solutions for every obstacle."

Testimonials
“When my mom first told me about yet another person to try and help me, I fought it. Turns out De Andre was awesome! He was so calm and understanding. He challenged me to really think differently and to get up and get going.”
“We had lost all hope. Tried everything we could on our own. Sought out many professionals. Nothing worked. Finally, we worked with James and De Andre and they were invaluable in helping us get out of the mess we were in. We are grateful and now able to enjoy our lives much more, knowing our son is all right on his own.”
“I didn’t have the tools to be able to handle my daughter and it was taking me down physically and emotionally. The stress of that relationship was working its way into other parts of my life. Thankfully, a friend recommended James to us and my husband and I can honestly say that meeting him has forever changed our lives. We are still a work in progress, but James has given us the ability/tools/knowledge to handle real situations.”
