I have recently begun seeing Dr. Patty again and I truly love her new "office setting." In keeping…read morewith social distancing due to Covid, she has created a open screened tent office set in the woods. I have met with her several times there now and I must say I have never felt so open to feeling my feelings. There is something about not being in the confines of four walls and air-conditioned air! Being surrounded by nature has made our sessions 100% more productive - I'm quite astounded about that, and so pleased! I feel safe in the environment and I encourage all to try this new concept.

Jessica is an invaluable resource for sleep training and behavioral issues with children…read more I have seen her several times over the last year for struggles with both of my children -- who are now ages 1 and almost-5 years. She is a compassionate and careful listener who provides practical solutions to problems that seem hard to manage and solve on your own. Her action plan always reflects where you are, what type of parent you are and what your needs are -- rather than following a particular method. The plan evolves after your session with her through email contact and continued direction and encouragement. And by "plan" i mean you will get an email outlining what you are going to do (which you, of course, discussed in your session). It eliminates all the self-doubt, questioning and middle-of-the-night-internet-combing! Many of the reviews here are about her help with sleep training -- and she has worked miracles in our house including teaching me to help our son (age 4) to sleep through the night (again) on his own. he stopped after the birth of our daughter... AND training our daughter to sleep through the night -- which included a comprehensive plan related to eating and nap schedules too. But where Jessica has brought me the most peace is with behavior "problems" my son was having at school and at home. I felt so out of control and desperate...and Jessica calmly and entirely without judgment or shame helped us learn how to help him and help ourselves. In one session, she reviewed his school parent/teacher evaluation form with me and provided me with reassurance, encouragement and direction. She provided information about age-appropriate expectations and behaviors. We have learned, with jessica's help, to help our son manage his own emotions -- an invaluable skill -- and have learned how we participate in escalating or, hopefully, deescalating emotional situations. I am so very grateful for Jessica's skill and compassion. She has been an invaluable part of my growth as a mom.

I grew up in a family where trauma was the norm. I knew when I left home that I needed to get into…read moretherapy, so I started with a therapist at 17 years old but nothing really changed. That started my on my journey to find what would work, as I knew that what I was creating in my life was a result of my childhood programing. The short list includes; Lifespring, beginning and advanced, Transformational Workshops, Tai Chi, meditation, hypnosis, medications, enough self help books to line the entire United States, women's groups, Al-Anon, Co-dependants Anonymous, Adult children of Alcoholics, Chronic PTSD therapy, Brain wave therapy and more. So when I found Anita's ad through an internet search, I was doubtful, but willing to try. My goal was to move forward in my life with dreams that had lived in my heart for decades but just could not work on them because the beliefs about myself were so deep, they felt as if they were in my DNA. I was elated and stunned when after the first session I was able to start my work to reach my goals. Previously, I literally felt sick to my stomach when I thought about doing the work. After three sessions, I have a regular schedule working on my goals and enjoy the work! I have been in some type of therapy for 4 decades and nothing really shifted the beliefs that were under my self confident exterior. Even though I had earned multiple degrees and was successful in many areas, the belief that I was a "joke" and it would be dangerous to do anything that would bring attention to me, drove my choices, I never, ever felt good enough. Now I do and I cannot thank Anita enough. I don't understand how it works, but it works!

So my boss could not let me have that off. Because it was a very important client. My ex-wife does not believe that happened. So anyways, on November 13th? We had counseling through zoom and the counselor wouldn't even let me speak. She kept interrupting me. She just wanted to listen to Everything my ex. Wife said, that's not very professional counseling. Any counselor knows that if someone has had something that's happened in their past. That it's going to affect them. They should know this, but when it comes to me, people don't believe that they believe it with everybody else. But they don't believe it with me, and all I was wanting was someone to help me. And this counselor turned me away for help. Because you'd rather listen 21 side of the story and believe one side of the story, because my ex wife has made me homeless twice jobless three times all because I need to speak to a counselor because she doesn't know the difference between someone who's actually violent and someone who needs counseling.And she thinks because if you need counseling, you're a threat to society.And this counseling service just turned me away for no reason, and I spoke to a guy to try to talk to him.And he told me to shut up.That's not how you talk to someone asking for help

Mr. Hollings quickly aligned himself with my partner. For most of the session, my participation was limited to giving feedback to the suggests that Mr. Hollings and my partner made. The situation involved family dynamics. Mr. Hollings was dismissive and condescending of my thoughts and perceptions. It was the Man Show y'all.

I spent nearly 8 months doing weekly therapy with Engracia. Engracia is a gifted therapist who is…read morecommitted to helping people. I found her approach unique since she has knowledge of and the ability to use more than one therapy technique with her clients. I was in a situation where I had become disconnected from my body and couldn't recognize how my body felt as waves of emotions went through me. Engracia used EMDR to help me reconnect with my body. If she found I wasn't responding or making enough progress with EMDR, she would adapt and try something else which I found very helpful. Engracia also comes from a place of personal experience and can relate to her patients trauma. The relational aspect of her approach helped me be more open and share authentically about past experiences. If you're considering EMDR therapy, I recommend working with Engracia. She is committed to helping people heal and move past old traumas.

She has a very gentle way of evoking a desire to fully understand what is happening deeply inside and why certain patterns were repeating themselves in my life. More importantly, Rachel holds a space where I feel safe enough to explore new ways to move forward from where I was previously stuck. Learning to say "YES" to myself and learning to give to myself the things that bring pleasure were such major breakthroughs for me! So many of my fears around deservability and worthiness have been released! Today, I fully believe in my ability to create a life that lives up to a much greater vision. My relationship with my husband and kids has improved because I've become more my true self, more relaxed, happy, capable, and excited about the future. Rachel is genuinely passionate, loving, supportive, and empowering, and I feed off of her great energy every time we meet! Thank you, Rachel, for being such a wonderful coach and a true blessing to me and to those you impact.

There are people who touch our lives at certain points on our life's journey. We are forever…read morechanged and forever grateful for having met them and for the growth they help us to achieve. Rachel is one such person in my life. I found her online through a basic search and picked her simply due to her office location and the fact that she was a female. Little did I know how big of an impact this woman would play in my life. I knew I wanted to chart a new path in my journey and have the most fulfilling life I had ever imagined, but I didn't feel like I had the tools or know how to make that happen. This has been one of the MANY gifts Rachel has given me in the 3 or so years that I've had the honor of knowing her. Of course, I believe everyone is always a work in progress and I'm no exception, but to be blessed enough to have Rachel on my side, I have no doubts that I can accomplish anything that I want. It's not always easy or fun to see Rachel and I might break out into hives right before our visit, but without a doubt, 100% of the time, our time together ends and I leave feeling like a brand new person, with a little less weight on my shoulders and a few more tools in my tool belt to handle whatever needs to be handled. Rachel is an integral part of my team that supports me in pretty much every aspect of my life, whether she knows or intends to or not. To say that I recommend Rachel would be an understatement. Telling someone about her, for me, is knowing that if they make the decision to follow through with it, I have just given them a gift that has infinite possibilities in their life. She has been a true blessing and profound influence in my life and I feel very lucky that she was placed in my life.
