Testimonials
“Amy suggested that we try Brainspotting to aid in healing my abusive childhood. It was the exact next step that I needed in my healing journey! Amy was patient and supportive as I tried something new. I am so glad that I did.”
“Amy introduced me to Brainspotting and it has been by far the best tool that I have ever experienced in healing my out of control anger.”
“After years of running from my horrific childhood trauma, Amy encouraged me to try Brainspotting. She allowed me to try it in small chunks until I became more comfortable. It has been incredibly helpful for me.”
“I was a victim of sex trafficking and I came to Amy several years ago for help. For the first several sessions, I was barely able to talk. Amy was patient and encouraged me to go at my own pace. She would sometimes simply help me to breathe. I was sure that she would give up on me. We have worked together for over 10 years and I am a different person. Every year, I felt a little safer. Last year, Amy introduced me to Brainspotting and I was very unsure. We played around with minor annoyances in my life so that I could get comfortable. After 6 months of playing around with safe topics, I was able to talk about some of my trauma. I have a lot of hope that I can recover and maybe even date someone one day.”
“Amy has helped me to end a 30 year battle with Binge Eating Disorder. She helped me to focus on my wellness not my weight. She also helped me to heal years of trauma that were underneath my need to push feelings away and comfort myself with food.”
“Amy worked with our entire family to heal the pain caused by my daughters drug addiction. Amy not only helped us to understand our daughter’s addiction but she helped us to grieve the losses that addiction cost our family. Her straightforward yet compassionate approach has helped us become a healthier family.”
“Amy helped me to survive high school. I have bipolar disorder and my parents gave up on me. Not Amy – she kept telling me that I could learn to manage my illness and have a full life. I am heading off to college in the fall and I have never felt stronger and better able to manage my emotions.”
“I hated my parents, my life, my body and I made lots of bad choices to show how angry I was at the world. I self injured, I shop lifted, I failed in school, I hurt a lot of people and I hated that my parents made me go to counseling. But after the first visit, I couldn’t wait to go back. Finally I could talk to someone who would not judge me. She helped me see how I was responsible for my life and only I could change it. I am still working on a lot of things, but I am so much better off. I am passing all of my classes, have a job, no longer self injure and sometimes I even like myself.”
“I trusted Amy enough to share my history of sexual abuse, after I worked with her on healing I lost 150 pounds!””
“Amy helped my husband, our three children and myself survive the sudden death of our oldest daughter. She helped us to understand our grief…she encouraged to feel the awful pain and she kept encouraging us that it would get more manageable. We believe that because of our treatment with Amy we are now able to feel joy again in our lives.”
“My son was killed by a drunk driver and I thought that I would go insane. Amy told me that I would survive and week after week she helped me to identify my feelings and finally one day I started feeling a little better. After a year of her never losing patience with me, I realized I was not going to go crazy…I was going to do my son proud and live my life fully.”
“Amy worked with our teenage daughter who was suffering with severe depression and panic attacks. She had dropped out of school and barely got out of bed. Amy helped her to accept her illness and learn to manage it. Last year my daughter got her GED and started college. She even gave the speech at her graduation. It was her and my proudest moment.”
“Amy is so energetic and optimistic. She is also funny. The group was actually fun!”
“I felt like an old lady who was ready to give up when Amy educated me about the mood swings of menopause. I quickly felt better and after a few months felt like my old vibrant self again.”
“I am a nurse, a mother and a grandma. I would spend all my time taking care of everyone but me. Amy said “Enough! It’s your turn!” It was really hard for me and Amy helped me to see that I did not believe that I deserved to be good to me. Amy would not stand for that and helped me to see my value and worth.”
“Amy was so knowledgeable and passionate about healing emotional eating. She made me believe that I deserved to treat myself better.”
