EMDR  (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - for trauma, grief, post-traumatic stress dissorder, etc.)

"I have been seeing Orlene now for about six months, and in that relatively short time I have made so many changes and conquered so many issues that I almost don’t recognize myself anymore.  One of the most useful tools has been EMDR.  I think that when our brains go through trauma, specifically emotional, we develop these “issues,” “buttons,” “baggage,” whatever you want to call them.  For example, I had developed some serious jealousy buttons from past experiences.  I also had abandonment issues from my childhood and my parent’s divorce.  These issues were seriously affecting me as an adult and causing issues in my current relationships.  Thanks to EMDR I no longer have these issues.  These days when a difficult circumstance arises – one that would typically make me fearful and insecure due to the trauma and survival instincts that I’ve accumulated from past experiences – I can CHOOSE how I want to handle it.  I can choose to feel safe and strong and secure and handle it in a mature loving way.  Before EMDR my reaction was instantaneous, biological, and something akin to panic, rage, or intense pain.  I am so happy to say that thanks to Orlene and her work with EMDR I am a more loving, healthier, happier, more free individual.  Friends, family, and coworkers have commented that I seem so happy all the time these days.  Its amazing the toll that baggage from our past takes on our psyche, our energy, and our lives as a whole.  Being free of these issues is the biggest contribution I have ever made to my own health.  I am so very grateful for Orlene and all of the work we have done together!"

"Orlene,
I wanted to thank you for all of your suggestions and support during our sessions. I was very impressed with your knowledge of the various therapy techniques and will be forever grateful for sharing the EFT and EMDR techniques with me. Since our EMDR sessions, I have seen drastic changes in my life for the better. I have a new found strength to stand up for myself in ways I never thought I would be able to and have had exponential growth in my life, personally and professionally. I know that this growth spurt is due to our work together and your support in my growing process. Thank you for having such a kind heart and sincerity to assist me with my life journey. You are truly the best therapist I have ever worked with and if needed, I will be sure to call on your services again."
