I've had the chance to work with Bonnie, and she is truly wonderful. She's kind, thoughtful, and creates a space that feels really safe and comfortable.

They've gone out of their way to help me as a young professional trying to find my path in psychology, which meant a lot.

I'm a professional in the mental health field & two years ago, I was the victim of a home invasion…read morewhere I was nearly killed. The attack left me with some pretty intense PTSD which piled on some childhood traumas I had yet to address. approximately 6 months after the attack I started experiencing the effects of PTSD & having been in weekly therapy w/o improvement already it was suggested to me by the NY state Office of Victims Services that I consider a trauma intensive which includes 8 hours of 1-1 therapy for up to 10 days in a row. At first I was apprehensive, I worried it would be overwhelming but after talking to Dr. Greenwald (sp) I thought it couldn't hurt to try since other options were not working. I was given the name of a person in one of the Carolinas & then Elizabeth Davis in buffalo, I contacted Elizabeth first because she was closest. After doing a video chat session with her I felt comfortable going forward. Prior to my traveling out there, we had several video sessions (some of which the weekly therapist that I was working with participated in). Both of us were impressed with Elizabeth's knowledge, insight & intuition. As time went on & I felt more comfortable we ended up scheduling our first week. I first traveled to buffalo & did 6 days in February 2017 then later that summer I went back out for another 5 days & finally the last 5 days in January 2018. I spent a total of 16 days with her & it made HUGE difference in the level of distress my PTSD was causing me. I won't lie, it was intense... this work isn't for the weak & you have to be ready to trust her professional judgement & engage openly to have a positive outcome. I definitely struggled the most after my fist visit but throughout the year we worked together I would return home where I continued working with my therapist, as well as having weekly sessions via video with Elizabeth. It was the times in between the intensives that often lead to new insights that I was able to work with during the intensives. I was blessed in that I already had a great therapist who worked closely with Elizabeth & together they were able to support my healing process in a profound way. I wouldn't say this type of treatment is for everyone, you need to be an educated consumer; you need to have a realistic understanding of what your getting into; you need to be able to employ personal accountability for your own growth and actions & most of all you need to be stable enough to manage the distress that may come up during the down time when you can't access the therapist. In my case, my biggest worry was related to that last one, like "what will I do if I have a emotionally tough day & I need support afterwords" I knew I would be in a hotel in a strange town. To offset any potential issues, I took some things with me (books, journals ect.) I also had friends & my therapist from home on backup should I need additional support. This worked well & made the process much more manageable. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend this treatment IF you have done your homework & you understand what you're signing up for. I would suggest asking as many questions as you can think of, I was able to do this with Elizabeth via email & she was always receptive. I would also say that as a general rule... if you think you know more than your therapist than you should find someone else to work with because you're not likely to follow advice &/or have a positive outcome. Medical services are tricky, it's not like buying clothing where you can return the pants that don't fit that's, you can't return therapy, the therapist has taken time away from others to work with you so it's important to do your homework in advance & it's also up to you to speak to your needs if you don't think it's helping. I hope my review helps offset some on the claims being shared by this other individual & I'm more than happy to answer questions if anyone wants to PM me & I can even provide copies of my bills (for sessions with her & my hotel stays) so you all know I'm not some fake reviewer making all of this up.

Jean helped me address all three of these. After our first session, I felt more balanced and healthier - emotionally and physically. In my second session, Jean guided me through a "reprocessing" of a painful trauma from years ago. As I processed and released the emotions and memories from that event, we uncovered the "real" reason I've been holding my breath, which didn't have anything to do with what I thought it was. LOL! I am amazed by the truths that we uncovered, and I'm grateful I am no longer living with the painful emotions I've unknowingly carried with me for over 40 years. Jean is professional, caring and intuitive in her practice. Thank you, Jean, for being of such great help to me, and for caring so much!
