Dr. Jessica Maria Costosa-Umina, PhD

She was amazing

My daughter was diagnosed with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome as a toddler. My daughter is now 14, and we have numerous evaluations and psychologists throughout the years and never seen the results that Dr. Umina has given us. She started from scratch, rather than just rely on other studies and Doctorâ??s opinions. She re-evaluated and considered our observations as part of her diagnosis and treatment. When we started, my daughter was constantly suffering with bouts of anxiety and depression. I am proud and grateful to say the after a year and a half under Dr. Uminaâ??s care, my daughter has learned to rely on her coping skills rather than medication and has adjusted to understanding and compensating for her symptoms. If you have a child with this disorder, I cannot say enough and come to tears when I think how far my daughter has come. I am thankful for finding Dr. Umina. Because of her, my daughter now plans to be a Child Psychologist.
