Jessica Brown-McBroom is one-of-a-kind. Jessica’s patience, kindness, perception and creativity really stand out when it comes to tackling challenging, complex, difficult, upsetting, and confusing situations. Jessica is an expert at gifted issues including but not limited to perfectionism and asynchronous development. She understands how gifted kids think and is versed in myriad of different tools and strategies to help them. She understands that what works for one person might not for the next! She is highly skilled with a full range of giftedness. This includes 2e children, highly gifted children, and profoundly gifted children. Jessica builds bridges and a deep, meaningful relationship with children and their families regardless of the specific reason they sought Jessica for support. Jessica is sublimely professional, responsive and collaborative in her approach when schools or other therapists are involved. Jessica uses strength-based, positive techniques only. She is one of the few therapists in Illinois that knows how to actually help this population. She is a miracle worker.

We cannot recommend Jessica strongly enough! She is SO GOOD at connecting with kids and meeting them where they’re at. We reached out to Jessica for our twice exceptional child and she’s helped give us tools to parent our son in a way that’s best for him. She is fun, engaging and helps us see results with better self-regulation, focus, and executive functioning deficits. And the best part… SHE COMES TO YOUR HOME! This has been HUGE for us to have her help our child with struggles we face in the home. Her knowledge, skills and light-heartedness are just what we needed! She is truly a gift!

Working with Jessica has been life changing. We have a 12 year old gifted child with ADHD and executive dysfunction. Over the years he has been able to manage on his own however as he reached the middle school years we knew that there was need for more. Over a short time in the last few months, Jessica has achieved a great rapport with my son and has also been a great asset for parenting questions related to our child. Although he is an introverted child he has opened the door to her. She has a positive, magnetic personality that my son loves and engages in. She is very knowledgeable, has great ideas and suggestions, and most importantly, appreciates the whole child. We are so grateful to have found Jessica. We are excited to see the future successes of our son which we are certain will be attributed in some way to the work he will have done with her!

Jessica is amazing with my son. They connected immediately and he automatically felt comfortable with her. The techniques Jessica has taught him for his ADD have been amazing. Among other things, she’s taught him time management skills, which have made a huge difference in his life. I highly recommend Jessica!

Jessica Brown McBroom is a talented therapist who is an expert on twice exceptional children. I highly recommend Jessica and her services. She was highly instrumental in providing the right accommodations for our son. Jessica takes an individual approach with her clients to develop the right program and ensures success by setting short- and long- term goals. One of Jessica’s true talents is her ability to connect with my son. He looked forward to his time with her and didn’t view it as work. Over the years, I have used several different therapists, but I cannot overstate the difference that Jessica’s services made to our family and will always be grateful. I truly do not know where we would be today without her expertise and talents! Thank you, Jessica!
