We want to thank you for trusting us as we, S R & R Counseling, take pride in evaluating your situation and determining the root cause of your dilemma/s. We educate and prepare parents on what to expect at a 504/IEP meeting. We go to your child's school and talk with the directors to help advocate for your child/ren and their particular needs.

S R and R Counseling was found to help heal the strong that have temporarily lost their way. Serving children and adults, our friendly and experienced therapists are here to assist with your needs.
