So I've tried quite a few therapists and interventions and it wasn't until working with the…read morewonderful people at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates that I really felt that emotional healing was possible and that I could start to see the light at the end of the tunnel following decades long depression. Havening techniques and other techniques have helped me (someone who defaults to over-intellectualizing) get out of my head and into my body which I've found is imperative for healing emotional trauma. With all that said I'm really here to share my experience with the Neurofeedback training done with Rebecca Turner. Having done so much healing and reprocessing through talk therapy, I still felt that my thought patterns were like a hose turned all the way up, whipping around, unable to catch, and control, soaking everyone around me. The initial brain mapping (which is done first to know what areas of the brain to target for training) reflected with tangible data what I was experiencing inside. Ms. Turner described it to me like "your two hemispheres are yelling at each other" which turned out to be one of the most validating things my brain has ever heard about itself. The neurofeedback training process itself is not as complicated and/or intimidating as the name sounds. If one is doing eyes open training, you essentially attach some small sensors to your head using a conductive goop and watch a tv show while the screen brightens and dims in response to the information collected by the sensors and neurofeedback program. For "eyes closed" training, you listen to lyric-less music while the music adjusts the volume to help train your brain. And it all works. I feel good about myself. Shame is now a passing emotion instead of a state of being. Rumination is down ten-fold as my hemispheres aren't "yelling at each other". My thoughts and feelings don't control me as much and/or send my on a downward spiral. If you are someone who feels your emotions are often become too much for you to handle that even standard therapy couldn't alone help, might I suggest neurofeedback?

I question Pam's ethical practices. She was providing premarital counseling for my fiance and me,…read morebut unbeknownst to me, she agreed to meet with my fiance separately for at least two sessions. TODAY my fiance said he did not want to get married and that he started feeling this way at about the time he went to Pam separately (approximately two months ago). If Pam had done what she was obligated to do...to provide couples' therapy, then maybe my fiance and I would have been able to work out our differences together. I feel betrayed by Pam that she would even consider seeing a client separately after beginning couples' therapy. When I questioned her on this, she said she often agreed to see clients separately on an occasion or two without the other person knowing. How is this helpful in couples' therapy? Isn't this a violation of a person's trust? Shameful. Relationships require open and honest communication, requiring effort, care, and consideration from both parties. I am currently looking for another marriage counselor who can hopefully help put our relationship back on track. I love my fiance and I will do my best to make sure we have the right help to communicate better so that our relationship gets stronger. Be careful that Pam expresses the "ground rules" before you seek her help.

Leda is very knowledgeable in what she does, she's supportive and cares about my growth and mental health. I have been going to her for 2 years now and anyone that knows me can see that I have grown to being a more happy and emotionally stable person. The reviews about her being rude are not exactly wrong, she's not the softest in her delivery but, as an adult, I can appreciate her straightforwardness. I would recommend her to friends and families that want to learn about childhood traumas, drawing boundaries, identifying the cause of reactive behavior, self esteem issues, ect. Side note: not all therapist as created equal, you have to find one that works for you.

But life circumstances eventually led me to Jacqui, and now I'm actually grateful for the hardships that brought me to her. She's different from any therapist I've ever worked with. Jacqui really helps you dig deeper and look at things in a more honest, meaningful way. She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear or coddle you, because that wouldn't actually help you grow. Instead, she challenges you in a supportive and thoughtful way that pushes you to understand yourself better. I had never heard of ART before and was honestly skeptical, but I was desperate and willing to try anything. Hands down, it's one of the most valuable techniques she has in her vast arsenal of tools to help her patients. Her guidance on how to manage my anxiety in between sessions is something I will carry with me for life. Working with her has been a truly valuable experience, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found her.If you're struggling with something, I really encourage you to reach out and see her. It will change your life. It certainly changed mine.

I came to Jacqui to heal my trauma, and I'm now more traumatized when leaving at the 2nd ART…read moresession due to a racist comment by Jacqui. The first ART session with Jacqui was about 2 hours, and no specific issues occurred. The 2nd session was a week later. About 30 minutes in, she noticed the ART didn't work as she expected, and her comment about the failure was due to my "language barrier," which I strongly disagree with. Even English is not my first language, I passed 2 most difficult bar exams in the States, and I've been practicing law for the past 12 years in California. Jacqui's instructions are nothing compared to the judges' instructions I have to follow for my work. Jacqui's instruction was basically "imagine your emotions being washed away by a waterfall," something simple and similar to this. However, she told me not only once during this session that the failure is because of the language barrier. She made me feel absolutely terrible, and I had to cut short the session. Eventually, Jacqui admitted that ART doesn't work for everyone but emphasized again my language barrier. We are all vulnerable already when seeking help from a therapist. Now Jacqui makes me feel even worse as this ART doesn't work mainly because of my "language barrier." If Jacqui evaluated that my language barrier is a concern or issue for this ART, she should've noticed it at the first consultation and stopped it, rather than continuing scheduling and charging me $180 per hour for the following sessions.
