Through EFT and counseling Tom was not only able to bring down the level of pain; but, pain no longer had control over me. There were unbelievable positive shifts in my feelings and thinking. Through every session, I learned more about myself, enabling me to release negativity. My life has been changed where I can now become the best version of me for me. Tapping rewires the brain and no one does it better than Tom! I highly recommend you reach out to him, for his outstanding expertise and compassion for his patients .

First off I think any and all therapy can be good if you are willing to work on whatever you are…read morethere for. I found Discoveries counseling because she specializes in an area I'm looking to get help with. 1st impressions, this is an old house that looks like a country cabin that has been converted into several offices. WAY COOL. You walk in, there's a kitchen with tea and coffee for everyone (yes patients to) and then the waiting room. The waiting room is like something out of a rustic retreat. Fireplace, log cabin decor, a 5 foot tall moose carved out of wood and a window looking over a country garden. Talk about relaxing. In the winter the fire place is often on and there's something about a fire place in a room like this that makes me think warm thoughts and fuzzy bunnies bouncing in the snow. Peggy, eh...hemm... Dr Peggy Derivan is great. "We" call her Peggy as that's what I'm comfortable with.. When you stop to think about it she doesn't look like a Peggy but that didn't occur to me until sitting down to write this review. I've seen a number of therapists (yeah I'm totally wacko) and many of them are like stiff boards and give the impression that you should be strapped to a metal table and poked and prodded. Not Peggy. She's like the cool aunt that has your favorite ice cream on hand when your bff and you have a fight. I meet ppl for a living and Peggy has a presence that puts you at ease and a smile that is as genuine as they come. Her office is one of many practices in this place and while walking there, the house is so cozy and log cabin like, it's very relaxing. On your 1st meeting she tells you a bit about her and why she does what she does. Her office is small but comfortable and has a nice scent to it (you have no idea how much scent effects your life) Without getting into why I'm here I will say she's very knowledgeable and has been super helpful. I see her solo and with my wife when we need it. Like I said, she's like the cool aunt (not the one who talks to her flowers, the other one). A great therapist will tell you, that you have to be comfortable with them or it won't work. Peggy pus me at ease and is the best therapist I've ever seen (I've seen 5). Give her a try, if you liked this review you won't be disappointed, .

It's difficult to write this because now Yelpers will know that I was in psychotherapy. That said,…read moreit's important for me. Dr. Willis changed my life for the better. After going to see Lisa as part of couples therapy I went back as an individual. Lisa used a psychoanalytic approach to help me not only "deal" with my anxiety, she helped me process events form my childhood that allowed me to heal deep down. Because of my experience with Dr. Willis I have built stronger relationships and I'm living a much calmer, more satisfied life. I have moved to California and now Washington DC since living in Rochester. I have tried numerous therapists. I haven't found any that take the time to get to know me on such a deep level. I haven't found anyone who treats me as a unique individual with my own life experience that shapes who I am and therefore my therapeutic needs. Dr. Willis was the head of University of Rochester counseling center for a reason, she is experienced. You cannot substitute for a good head and an even better heart. I never had a problem reaching Dr. Willis. Highly recommend.

Since dr Willis provides an e mail address on her website, I don't understand the complaining…read morereviews about not being able to contact her. Send her an e mail. That's what I did and she was able to put me right in her schedule. And how lucky I feel to have her! She uses a variety of techniques so if something isn't working we can just move on. Dr Willis is extremely intelligent and seems to remember everything I have said. She has deep experience with trauma survivors. I don't usually say this, but my therapy with her has truly changed my life for the better. I highly recommend Dr Willis.

I see her once a month to build mindful practices into my daily life, debrief big stressors and integrate wellness responses. Laura has been so accommodating to meet me where I may be in the session-- I certainly always feel renewed and motivated to integrate content from the session into my daily life. I feel very fortunate to have support from Laura in this way and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for wellness in their lives.

Working with Helga has been one of the most healing experiences of my life. I came to her to work…read morethrough deep childhood trauma and long-time emotional patterns, and in just three sessions, something profound shifted. She's incredibly warm, kind, and intuitive. From the moment I walked in, I felt safe--safe to be myself, to open up, and to face things I had carried for so long. Helga held space with so much care and wisdom. Her presence is grounding, and her guidance is powerful. Even though I have knowledge in hypnosis myself, I was blown away by her skill in guiding regression-to-cause work. She knows exactly how to support deep transformation without pushing--just gently walking beside you. After our sessions, I felt a huge weight lifted. That peace stayed with me. The pain, the triggers, the anger I used to carry--they're just... gone. And in their place, there's lightness, joy, and real peace. Helga is a true healer. If you're ready for real change, I can't recommend her enough.

I am loving the work happening with Helga. Here's how I would describe what hypnosis can do based…read moreon my personal experience with Helga. I have all these really upset emotions from childhood experiences that shaped my perception of myself as being lacking worth, value and confidence. In adulthood, I did a lot of work to understand what took place and why. I have been able to fully rationalize and understand the psychology and the interpersonal dynamics. Having developed that understanding is great, but it has never HEALED me. The emotional experience and the resulting perceptions of myself are like a sliver or splinter stuck in my skin. I can tell you the story of how the sliver got there. I can rationalize why it splintered off the wood and is lodged in my finger. I can explain why my finger hurts and an infection is forming around the splinter. All that talk is NOTHING. The splinter needs to be extracted. I have concluded that regression hypnosis can extract the splinters and shards of life that lodge themselves in our subconscious.
