Dr. Sewell very well may have saved my life; and if he didn't, he certainly extended it. I have…read moresmoked cigarettes heavily (I've always been self employed) for almost 40 years. Over a pack a day. Quitting was meant for someone else. Someone with will power. Someone with self preservation instincts. Someone willing to deal with the massive mood swings, irritability and who knew what other side effects. Quitting wasn't in my cards. I knew the want of a cigarette as soon as the one I was smoking was put out. The embers needn't be cold before I was planning the next. I'd put one out while coughing and think, I'll never quit; they'll kill me first, I enjoy it too much. Seriously, I was that bad addicted. I ended up calling Dr. Sewell because a friend wanted to quit and we were to quit together through hypnosis. My 'buddy' never called the Dr. and is still smoking and vaping nicotine in an effort to quit on his own. My friend didn't want to pay the $ thinking he could quit on his own. In another week or so I will already have paid for the Hypnotherapy by stopping smoking. I can only rack up the savings from here on out. 17 days may seem like 5 minutes to some who have tried many times before to quit and have been unsuccessful. I have no desire. At all. It's almost stupidly simple. Please, give it a try. Even if you quit for 30 days, you won't have wasted a dime and have breathed better for a little while.

Bait & Switch! My…read more14 year old daughter went for her first counseling session EVER almost three weeks ago at Envision. She was reluctant of course, since this was her first session at Envision as well as her fist session in any kind of therapy. The first session included my daughter and I meeting the counselor, Shannon. We basically sat and spoke superficially about things as my daughter and I became comfortable with Shannon and vice versa. We left very excited to return the following week and requested a standing appointment for every Monday at 5:30pm. My daughter was gitty that she had made a connection, especially when she expected the complete opposite to happen. All the way home and for the next three days my daughter kept bringing up aspects of Shannon which she liked and mentioning how she was eager to sit with her again and really dive into things. Come Monday we get a message from Envision stating that Shannon was unable to make it to our second appointment scheduled for that same afternoon. I immediately worried about telling my daughter who was so excited about returning to her second counseling session ever. I explained the situation to my daughter who kindly responded with more concern for her therapist than anything else. I of course was concerned that the process which was just barely about to begin would loose continuity and the momentum we felt after our first visit. As the week goes by we don't get a call from Envision. Then on Thursday evening I finally get a phone call from Envision. To my surprise it was the British receptionist asking that I give her the CVV on my credit card so she can charge me for the first visit. Eventually the conversation shifted to setting a new appointment, and oh yes, with a different counselor because Shannon was no longer employed there.... You can imagine my disappointment. Almost three weeks into this and we had only had one session, followed by a cancellation followed by the departure of the therapist my daughter had connected with. So, I kindly asked the British receptionist to speak with one of the owners because I was disappointed and heartbroken that the anticipation my daughter was having towards opening up to a therapist (one she had connected with) has just been derailed. To my surprise the receptionist kept going back to asking me for my credit card CVV again and again. One of the owners came on the phone, and I explained our experience, which at this point consisted of an introductory visit to meet the therapist, followed by a cancelation, followed by an attempt to process payment and re-book with another counselor. From a moral standpoint, you would think that a therapist oOF ALL PEOPLE would be sympathetic to a 14 year old girl who had been thrust into a situation of abandonment by a counselor who she had believed in and trusted would be the perfect person to help her through her teenage issues. Unfortunately not, the owner much like the British receptionist was only interested in settling the open invoice without any regard to the emotional rollercoaster her clinic had put my daughter through. In this age of dog eat dog and every person for themselves, this mental health professional jumped right in and only insisted on one thing...cared about one thing above all else...that I settle the $80 open invoice I had with her clinic. If these are the people we count on to help our children I am very concerned for their future. Very disappointed....

It is clear her goal is to save face vs take accountability for harm caused by her actions. When a therapist crosses every line in the book as far as boundaries go, the therapist loses the professional stance that the problem in the room is the clients issues- bc now the therapist is literally the problem in the room now. I am very glad I did not follow through with scheduling an appointment and am horrified to now know more fully what occurred with not just one client, many others who unfortunately are to afraid to speak up bc Ms. Thompson has intimidated and scared others from speaking out about her behavior. Please please do your research. This therapists line is "go by your experience with me." Well, it's a small town and not everyone who has seen Ms. Thompson and had a poor negative experience is wrong, sick, crazy or traumatized. Sometimes the therapist is actually the adult version of the child hood abuser. That happens when the therapist disregards everything their board and education taught them about why you don't cross boundaries with your patients. It's the one thing to talk the talk but it's the actions that matter most and when they don't align....well we call that "fraudulent."

Joy Pedersen and Express Success

Extraordinary Insight, Wisdom, and Integrity…read more I have worked with Joy Pedersen for several years, and her wisdom, compassion, and insight continue to astound me. Joy brings a rare combination of deep spiritual awareness, emotional intelligence, and grounded practical wisdom. At pivotal moments in my life and work, she has helped me step back from overwhelm and see the larger pattern unfolding--often with remarkable clarity and accuracy. Her guidance consistently helps illuminate both what is happening in the present and the emerging possibilities ahead. What makes Joy truly exceptional is her integrity and respect for personal agency. She never tries to control your path or position herself as someone who "fixes" things for you. Instead, she helps clear confusion, identify unseen dynamics, and reconnect you with your own inner wisdom so you can move forward with confidence and alignment. Her insight has supported me not only personally but also professionally as I develop a mission-driven initiative serving autistic nonspeaking adults and their families. Joy has an extraordinary ability to combine intuitive perception with strategic clarity, helping you see both the deeper purpose of your work and the practical next steps needed to bring it into reality. In a field where guidance can sometimes feel abstract or disconnected from real life, Joy stands out for her ability to bridge spiritual insight with grounded, thoughtful, real-world perspective. She brings compassion, wisdom, and an expansive view of the future while remaining deeply attuned to the realities of the present. Working with Joy has been consistently encouraging, clarifying, and empowering. If you are seeking a guide who combines spiritual depth, high emotional intelligence, and practical wisdom while honoring your own sovereignty, Joy Pedersen is truly exceptional. Highly recommended.
