His broad knowledge of the human brain proved invaluable in helping me through my ASD son’s teenage years. He taught me how change my own thinking and redirect my impulse reactions. I have a wonderful relationship with my adult son because of Chris’s support. I returned to working with Chris during a horrific divorce and once again he pulled me through the morass. I am now a happier, healthier person, confident of my own power and self-worth. Dr. Chris Ticknor provided the tools I needed to get here. I highly recommend him!
