After the plane crash, I was drinking and going out to avoid my feelings. I was scared and people that really knew me saw the changes. Now I am more confident then I have ever been and busy planning my next trip.
I went from feeling permanently damaged to feeling like I am healthy. This changed my life! I am now doing things that I wanted to do but felt like I didn't have the time or energy to achieve. I am now living the life of my dreams.
I am starting to see myself do things that would have been difficult in the past. I am now proud of myself and how I speak to others. Instead of beating myself up afterwards for over or underreacting.
Therapy here is really intense but in a positive way. In the past I felt like I met with counselors and it didn't really do anything. I would talk about my stuff and then we didn't really do anything with it. Now I actually have the tools to get past my stuff.
This EMDR therapy that you do is so strange. I have never done anything like this before with a counselor. It's like you are doing magic. I can't understand how I feel so much better.
It is awesome to now feel connected with my co-workers. I thought they just thought I was weird and didn't like me. Now I feel like I am part of the group. They have been very supportive and fun to be around. We have things in common that I never knew about before. I now enjoy work again. My family sees the changes in me too!
Throughout this process, I have gained confidence, boundaries, self-esteem, and how to live a balanced life!
Julia is so easy to talk to and is really able to dig down deep to get to the root of the problem. I am 17 years old and was hesitant about going and wasn’t sure what to expect but she always makes me feel so comfortable and I feel like she really understands me. She gave me techniques to help with my anxiety and always had new suggestions on how to handle it. Every time I leave her office I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I have suffered with depression, anxiety and PTSD for more than half my life. I had really given up hope for happiness. That said I am truly blown away by the power of EMDR therapy. I have only just begun this journey, but already I have seen truly amazing results. It can be a very intensive process but Julia is an excellent counselor who is very dedicated to her patients. She goes out of her way to accomadate scheduling that is not only convenient but the best for managing symptoms or feelings that you are having. After one EMDR session I was having an awful time with my anxiety I called her and she dropped everything to help me work through it, she is truly amazing. She is wonderful to talk to to and gives a lot of truly helpful insight. I am so glad to have found her. My search for a therapist was a really rough one. I was having such a hard time I nearly gave up. Then I found Julia and it was so easy to schedule and get in. I love that you can schedule online as well. I am very lucky to have found her and I have recommended her to all of friends and coworkers dealing with mental health issues and many have taken my recommendation. Julia is an excellent counselor and with her help I have already begun to change my life and now I have hope that things will finally get better and I can live a happy and fulfilling life.
