TESTIMONIAL

Our Customers Speak for Us!

Chris B.
"Our 26 year old son with Down syndrome is one of the 16% of people who also share a diagnosis of autism. Lou participates in several activities , and we have seen a marked improvement in social interaction and the desire to initiate conversations . The minute he walks in their place (the decor is even uplifting) he knows he is in a safe and encouraging environment . Whether he's there for drum circle, preparing a dinner with his friends, or adaptive piano lessons, we know he will grow in ways we , as parents, are not professionally equipped to accomplish. An integral part of his life!"
Roxanne L.
"Sunny Days Therapeutics is a wonderful place for children and adults with special needs. I noticed a big difference in my adult son the very first visit at Sunny Days. He looks forward to the sessions and always comes out of group therapy with a smile. The sessions are full of fun and laughter. We love the staff at Sunny Days Therapeutics!!!"

Amber Buchanan

Amber Buchanan, founder and CEO of Sunny Days Therapeutics, earned her Bachelor of Science in Business from a small private college in West Virginia. Despite her degree being in business, she has always had a passion for helping others. During the onset of the pandemic, Amber engaged in some soul-searching and realized she wanted to dedicate herself full-time to helping individuals within her community and surrounding areas.

Seeing a pressing need for enhanced mental health support in her community, Amber took the initiative to make a difference. She sold her home to cover the startup costs for Sunny Days, hired administrative staff and therapists, and secured an ideal location to establish a new mental health practice.

Over the past few years, Sunny Days has evolved and expanded, becoming a vital resource for mental health support in the Athens and Watkinsville communities. The connections formed, the support from the community, the dedication of the therapists and staff, and, most importantly, the patients, are truly what makes this journey worthwhile.

Amber hopes that Sunny Days will continue to thrive and support those in and around her communities for many years to come.
