“I’m grateful for EMDR therapy.”

“In therapy, I began to feel a growing calmness and a hopefulness about my future. I had more confidence and was more willing to be honest with myself and those around me. I had more energy and was more engaged in my life.
As therapy continued, the pace of recovery became more rapid and intense, and my family started to see I was improving.
I am grateful for the intervention of the EMDR therapy and feel that no matter where my future lies, that I will have a more solid, balanced, and healthier footing.*”

I am free from anxiety!

“When I entered therapy with Douglas, I was consumed with anxiety that was interfering with my life. I suffered from sleeplessness and struggled to work fulltime. I was filled with worries. I worried about spending time away from my family and scared to talk about what was happening for me, even with my husband and this created distance between us. At first, therapy felt like a black box. I didn’t understand what was happening but I decided to trust the process.

Therapy helped me learn to trust someone with the parts of my life I had never talked about before. Douglas listened with kindness and respect and this was crucial for me. He had a high degree of professionalism and was very focused with me. Therapy helped me acknowledge what had happened to me in the past and the impact it had on my day to day life. Just talking about my past out loud was cathartic.

It was important that Douglas validated these experiences, which allowed me to look forward and feel hopeful that I could heal it. Today I am free from anxiety! The challenges I had in my past are not bothering me anymore. It doesn’t impact my decisions or relationships and I am able to work and travel without worry. I feel a lot of freedom and have more confidence. I enjoy my time with my family and my relationship with my husband has improved a lot. We now have ways to communicate effectively when there is tension between us.”
