  • Mr. Cote thinks deeply and is willing to take a minority position on an issue in order that the
    best interests of the children can be met."   
  • In my twenty years as an educator I have rarely met anyone who has displayed the amount of
    compassion as I have witnessed from Bruce."

  • Forty-five years of clinical work has taught me that it is in a respectful environment and
    through a caring relationship that one's spirit finds the hope to heal and Bruce provides
    both.                                                                              Roberta Wentworth, LCSW, LMT

            peace which has given them the ability to use more appropriate behavior
            to get their needs met

    up the treatment and healing process for children and their families.

    especially those dealing with PTSD or anxiety. They are able to experience
    safe healing touch without re-experiencing their pain.

    recommending Bruce Cote to all my clients.
