★★★★☆
I really appreciated how safe, patient, and supportive the therapist was throughout the process. After years of traditional talk therapy, EMDR has felt different in a positive way. It's helping me process things on a deeper level, even though it sometimes brings up difficult memories and emotions between sessions. I feel like I'm making meaningful progress, and I'm grateful for the care and guidance I've received. At this time, I don't have any suggestions for improvement and would recommend the experience to others
