Testimonials
"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!"

"I met Orlene at the most pivotal low point that I had ever reached in my life. My relationship with my boyfriend was extremely volatile and I was physically abused, my relationship with my family was poor, and most importantly, my relationship with myself was nothing of love or respect. Suicide had never been such a pulling option in my many years of suffering from depression as it was at that point. I made the decision that I wanted to live and that I needed to seek counsel and I will always be so thankful for the day I met Orlene McKellar. My therapy working with Orlene has dramatically improved my life, for every obstacle she is there to offer me a tool. In my deepest darkness, Orlene offered me the light of her extraordinary knowledge, understanding, and genuine love and faith in her clients that every person can make the shift from wherever you are now to where you want to be. This is a woman who completely believes in you. She has a beautiful way of gently guiding you to make the better choices of empowering yourself, which has been the absolute best gift anyone has given me aside from life itself. I love my journey now, I am irrefutably filled with positive expectations for my life, I LOVE MYSELF AGAIN. I will always hold such a high place in my heart for this woman I am thankful for her everyday. I would (and have) recommend her services to anyone seeking guidance to gain back personal control over their experiences."

"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."

"Orlene has been a wonderful resource for the two of us. When we came to see her for the first time, we were on the verge of divorce. I had all-but given up. From our very first visit, we noticed a significant improvement in our relationship. Our communication became more respectful and relationship-building. We began seeing each other the way we had in the beginning when we were "in love" - only even better because we had built a history together. Orlene was an excellent listener - very insightful and helpful in guiding us to create and achieve new relationship goals for ourselves. Our whole family is much happier now. We feel very fortunate to have found someone like her to help us get our lives back on the right path."

"When my boyfriend and I came in for our first appointment, I was quite certain we would be going our separate ways soon, even though we still loved each other very much. We just couldn't stop hurting each other. Within the first few sessions with Orlene, our happiness level had gone up significantly. Then, after I attended the Change Your Life Seminar, I was able to "put it all together" in a way that makes life so much easier and so much more satisfying for both of us! We are now in a win-win relationship where we enjoy "putting our love for each other first." The difference in our lives is amazing!"

"I have been working with Orlene for the past two years. When I came in for the first time, I was suffering from extreme depression and anxiety. I was diagnosed with OCD, and have been under the care of a Psychiatrist for many years. Orlene has helped me so much! I am now able to talk myself down from an anxiety attack, and talk myself up through my depression. My OCD is under control as long as I continue to practice the skills that I've learned from her. Even though I feel much better, and have gotten my emotions under control to a great extent, I will continue my weekly appointments. The day I meet with her is my favorite day of the week!"

"Orlene is dedicated to creating a safe environment where I can sort through and face my life. She's helped me to accept the past and the present without beating myself up, and create a new, more positive direction for my life. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with her."

"Orlene has the ability to be very intuitive and understanding and yet at the same time not allowing us to use excuses for staying "stuck" in our self-destructive habits. She has helped me to face and become victorious over my old fears. My husband and I came in together when we were struggling as a couple, and she gently guided us to put ourselves in each other's shoes, and to be more respectful and loving as a couple. She helped my daughter and I when we couldn't communicate without causing anger and hurt feelings. We are now very close and joyful, as she is about to have her first child. Orlene has helped me so much. I don't know where my life would be right now if I hadn't made that first phone call to her."

"My experience with therapy has been amazing! One of my favorite quotes that I've been living by since I began my work with Orlene is, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Our learning experience can be painful at times, but I've found that it's so much better than repeating the same old mistakes of the past! I have been in therapy with Orlene for over a year now and I am not in any hurry to leave. She is providing great guidance for my life and is helping me to progress in ways I never thought possible. I've learned that no matter what it is that I want from life, and no matter what phase I'm in - there's a way to get there - as long as I'm willing to change my old habits, and persistently create and practice new, more positive habits. I recently got married (again) to a strong, wonderful man. I believe this time I "got it right." I honestly don't believe that I would be where I am today, in my life, or in my new marriage, if it hadn't been for my life-changing experience in therapy with Orlene."
