Testimonials about Lisa and EMDR Therapy

What present and past clients are saying about working with Lisa and using EMDR therapy:

On increasing self esteem, confidence and releasing childhood traumas

“Lisa, this was the most amazing experience of my life. You always made me feel at ease and there was no subject I couldn’t discuss. You made me feel comfortable. The EMDR process was fascinating. After every session I felt progress. I was able to use the tools I learned at home to alleviate my anxiety. I was so skeptical at first and as I got into it, I had results right away and this kept me coming back. It helped clear things that I had been holding onto for years. I just feel good about life now. I feel good when I get up in the morning and I don’t feel overwhelmed anymore. I feel like my head and heart are clear now. Thank you for giving me my life back.”

“Before seeing Lisa, I used to have very low self-esteem, and often felt sad, lonely and in despair. I never felt good enough. My life revolved around men and relationships. These feelings intensified after a break up and I knew I couldn’t live this way anymore.  I needed to learn how to be independent and happy. After working with Lisa, my self-esteem and confidence have never been healthier. I no longer fear meeting new people, new experiences or rejection. Now I feel worthy and loveable, and confident.”

“I first began sessions with Lisa several months ago when I was in a very low place, dealing with mood swings and lack of self-worth. Upon our first meeting, I knew that I would have no trouble talking with Lisa and sharing my thoughts and feelings. She is supportive, encouraging and insightful. With Lisa as a steady guide, we used the techniques of EMDR as we worked through difficult experiences and feelings. I am grateful for her patience and knowledge, and amazed that I finally feel free from so many negative beliefs about myself. I feel like a different person—more grounded, empowered and strong, much different than I did months ago.”

Obsessive and ruminating thoughts

“Working with Lisa has helped me immensely. After the death of my father, I was emotionally overwhelmed and nothing seemed to make sense anymore. I struggled for months with negative and obsessive thoughts that truly impeded my day-to-day life. I sought Lisa out because se provided EMDR treatments. I’ve been having weekly sessions for just over two months, and I really believe her treatment has helped me get my life back. I’m no longer plagued with obsessive and negative thoughts, and my life is starting to make sense again. I can’t thank her enough.”

PTSD and Driving Phobia

“After I was involved in a car accident, I became afraid to drive, something I used to enjoy doing. Within the first 3 visits sessions with Lisa I was feeling more confidant, and within a few months I was back to driving normally again. This treatment was nothing short of miraculous.”

Relationships

“Lisa has helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. She helped me make the changes I needed to improve my life and save my relationship. I almost lost one of the most important people because of the way I would lose my temper and not knowing how to handle my own emotions. If I didn’t change, I was on the going to sabotage my relationship. Each week we met, I could see the progress. She gave me the tools I needed to make the changes I always wanted too, but didn’t know how to accomplish. Meeting with Lisa was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.”

Dating and Social Anxiety

“I started working with Lisa to address my social anxiety and improve my confidence with dating. The EMDR sessions helped to retrain my brain to see things in a calmer, more realistic, rational way. In my time with Lisa, there’s been a major shift in my thinking. I feel better about myself, more confident and capable and my friends and peers have noticed my increased confidence too.”

Grief and Loss

“Recently I lost my husband suddenly after 35 years of marriage. Within the same year I had two more significant losses. I consider myself a strong person, so it was difficult to open up to someone else to share my sadness. Lisa has been my rock during a time of great change in my life. She is caring, compassionate, professional and supportive with a touch of humor and down to earth personality. I often wonder where I would be in my life without her support.”

Doreen K.

“I have been working with Lisa as a Life Coach and therapist for several years. After experiencing several personal losses, she helped me get my compass back, find my direction, and encouraged me to take the necessary steps to get my life back.  Her compassion was perpetual, while gently nudging me to prioritize, set goals and continue forward. After the first few weeks I began to feel differently and began to see changes that evolved into transformations in my life. Although it was difficult, Lisa made it easier with her patience, encouragement and insight.”

On breaking free of negative thinking and behaviors

“Earlier this year, I realized that I needed help to deal with some important life changing situations. I felt stuck and was not making progress. Past experiences with talk therapy had me thinking that’s not what I wanted. I knew what I needed to do; I just wasn’t able to act on it. Thankfully, a friend suggested I make an appointment with Lisa and try EMDR therapy. I wasn’t sure how it worked, and jokingly began calling it “hocus pocus”. I may not be able to explain how EMDR works, but I can definitely say that it does work. With Lisa’s help, I no longer feel stuck and have found new energy to continue with my life changes.”
