“Dr. Webbink has been instrumental in the healing process for my family. The abuse and trauma was so toxic and dangerous that it led to us meeting Dr. Webbink through DC Superior Court, Crimes and Victims Department. The therapy she provided was instrumental for me and my children moving forward in life and becoming successful people of society. Dr. Webbink introduced new ways of dealing with the trauma and how to process it without the perpetrator’s apology. Dr. Webbink is very convincing in acknowledging the pain but still holding you accountable in a way that empowers your weakness. Of course, I was a little uncomfortable but I trusted the process until I saw the sunshine. You are an Angel on Earth that conveys love in everything, such as the teddy bear image to think about that you gave my son many years ago as an adolescent that he still has as an adult man with a loving wife and two sweet daughters.” Cora Julia
