About Jenny Hornby (in her words)
My heart is to help children. I am passionate about teaching parents how to help children as well as working directly with children through play. I am very engaging with people and am an easy interview. I provide simple tools for audiences without overloading them with a lot of information and steps. As is true for most therapists, I am paying forward the help I was given when I was struggling with depression and anxiety.
