I sought Dr. Lakin's help after reading his very informative blog posts. Our 4 year old daughter…read morehad a months-long potty training issue that we tried and failed to successfully resolve. She was very fearful and exceptionally good at avoiding the part that terrified her - namely defecating in the toilet. We'd tried educating her, rewarding/bribing per, praising her, talking about it and not talking about it. NOTHING had worked at all. Her pediatrician didn't have any answers either. I read everything I could find online but none of the strategies worked. Then I met with the wonderful Dr. Lakin. He asked a lot of questions about our history with potty training but also questions about our daughter in general to better understand her personality and behaviors. He suggested a new consequence and a new reinforcement for us and I kid you not - it worked within 24 hours. Within days, it was like she'd never been afraid and the prior 9 months had never happened. We couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Lakin's professional insights. After the toilet issue was resolved, we started looking at our parenting struggles differently in light of his advice and CBT blog posts (e.g. daughter getting out of bed too early in the AM, and not eating vegetables). Looking at things from a behaviorist perspective has shifted our parenting strategies and we've been much more successful mitigating the examples above. I will definitely call Dr. Lakin again the next time we get stuck! We give him our very highest recommendation!

I was 14 when my mom got recommended Dr. Lakin to help me with my server depression. When I first went to him, I was so hopeless and did not believe that I could be helped. After seeing him for about 2 and half years and can fully say that Dr. Lakin saved my life. I saw him when he worked in DBT and CBT therapy. I was a little skeptical about his exposure therapy because it was outside my comfort zone, but Dr. Lakin helped me through the process. He is so open and honest with you, and that is something I admired so much about him.It was not your traditional therapy. We would go on walks and do the most random activities. I did not understand this, but it was all part of the process and it was so helpful. When I first started seeing him, I did not want to go, but after a couple months of sessions, his office became my safe place for 2 years. He ended moving away from my hometown so unfortunately, I could not see him anymore, and I have not seen anyone since him, but because of Dr. Lakin, I can go through life, with the skills I need for my depression and anxiety. I am now 18 and at a very good college, and when I first came to Dr. Lakin I never went to school, because of how miserable I was. Although I have not seen Dr. Lakin in almost 2 years, I would not of graduated from high school or gotten into college without him. I could not recommend him higher, if you need help and are feeling hopeless, Dr. Lakin is the person to help you.

I have 12 years experience in psych. U asked her, "are u going to do whats in the best interest of my child, or are u going to do what the court wants u to do?" She spotted and sputtered, I asked her 3x. Her answer "of course im going to do what they want". This was about protecting my 10 year old, or allowing her to be subjected to continued beatings, humiliation, violent rants and raging. Reunification, some cookie cutter, one solution for everyone's problems. Deborah Koricke should have protected my child. Deborah Koricke prevented me from protecting my child. Deborah Koricke threw my child to the wolf. Guess how my daughters life is now, after 10 more years of abuse. Rot in hell Deborah Koricke. Parents protect your children at all costs. Stay away from Deborah Koricke. (And the G.A.L., who told me I should relax, have some wine, and enjoy the time away from my daughter.) He thought I was wound too tight. NO ONE RECOGNIZED THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RAGE AND ABUSE WE ENDURED. And no one would listen.

Nothing has moved me closer to my authentic self in such a short time as Core Energetics. David is a gifted practitioner, a healing presence and very attuned and intuitive. He's fun to work week yet will challenge me in all the most welcome ways. I hold the deepest respect and gratitude for his excellent care and skillful facilitation. I cannot imagine how the one person who left a negative review had the experience s/he claimed to have. It does not align with my knowledge of his ethics or behavior.

At YWCA Greater Cleveland engaged Energetic Awakenings to help us process and talk about some internal issues and difficult subjects. David Phillips was our practitioner. His calming presence and excellent facilitation skills, helped us to create a safe space, bring some issues to the forefront, and create action steps. Personally, I have participated in a group workshop with Energetic Awakenings where they helped me process some difficult emotions through core body work. I did not realize how much emotion I was holding on to, and how that pent-up emotion was holding me back. Even though I was in a group setting, I felt that the practitioner was able to give each person (including me) the individual attention that they needed. They made me feel safe. When my 20 year old son was having some personal problems and struggling at university, I took him to Energetic Awakenings. Of course, I was not in the room when they were working due to patient confidentiality. However, I can say that my son was more hopeful and at peace after his work at Energetic Awakenings. Based on my professional and personal experiences with Energetic Awakenings and David Phillips, I recommend them with the highest regard.

I opened up to him which took great courage. He called me a few days before our third session and told me to find someone else who can help me because he didn't think we were a good fit. This is devastating to any survivor of horrific childhood abuse and he, of all people, should know better! Luckily, I've done a lot of internal healing work over the past few years, so even though his phone call was upsetting, it didn't throw me into chaos and make me suicidal. I shudder at the thought of him doing this to someone else who hasn't done the healing that I've done! This could be the straw that breaks the camel's back for them!) Again, STAY AWAY.
