“Counseling has taught me about how change is a gradual process, which helped motivate me to be consistent with my weight loss efforts. EFT and other tools have helped me make better choices.”

“At the beginning of therapy I was very angry. I didn’t know how to get over the anger and it was very scary.  In a painful and interesting way I learned about why I’ve allowed myself to make certain choices in relationships.  I often felt like a doormat.  The anger was up and down and I sometimes I didn’t feel like I was making any progress but then I started to see where it might go. 

I slowly started to see the difference.  I started to have moments of realization that I was feeling less hurt and more indifferent. 

I started to understand myself.  I became more present and no longer was operating from so many “shoulds” but making more intentional choices.  I figured out why I couldn’t say and do what  I wanted.  The anger started to dissipate. 

Within the last few months I just started to feel more empowered, to do and say things differently. I’m starting to speak up to my family and feel I might have a shot at holding my own in a relationship.  At work I finally feel like I deserve my job, and even a promotion.  I’m standing up for myself more. 

Along the way it got difficult, but I realized that life was more difficult when I was looking for external validation, thinking I needed a partner and settling.

Now I am starting to become the person I would someday want to be with.  This is money well spent.  I have a Masters Degree but realize that I wouldn’t be able to reach my full potential if I hadn’t done this work.  Until I got into it, I didn’t even realize what I didn’t know.”

“Coaching has been a natural progression  from an earlier experience of face-to-face counseling I did with a therapist years ago. Nothing has been watered down.  It has been hard work to remain in a self-reflective mode.  I can see how I no longer need the validation that I needed earlier in the healing process.  The benefits of long-distance coaching is my ability to travel and keep my sessions consistent as I fill in the pieces.  It has really worked for me.”

Angie in Washington

“I came into counseling to deal with my marriage. I’ve learned that changing my actions can help to change how my partner responds to me.  I’m using new skills when we argue, not backing down as much.”

Jeff

“As a new business owner lacking in confidence, I found that a few EMDR sessions helped me to retrace where my insecurities came from.  My husband could even see a difference in just a few sessions.  Now he has joined me in the process.”

“Beth has been my long distance life coach over  the last couple of years when I decided to do the hard  work of overcoming the problem areas in my life. Beth  supported me even after the times I became afraid and  ran from the work. Beth has a way of helping you to truly care for yourself. And for that I am truly grateful.”

Jason in Florida

“In my attempt to heal from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I felt the freedom to explore meditation and energy medicine while still keeping my Christian beliefs a priority.”

M. in Indiana

“I am noticing more of my surroundings as I am more relaxed, not avoiding the staff at work any longer and not as rushed.  I laugh a lot now and have more energy.”

                   

D.B.

“I entered therapy to deal with a difficult marriage and was very confused.  I now know the importance of setting boundaries and how to remain in a relationship without losing myself.  Also, I am currently pursuing a career I had not even considered before.”

M.S.

“I wish I would have entered counseling earlier in my life because it has been so helpful.  I’ve had the opportunity to feel deeply without being judged.  EMDR has helped me get more in touch with myself, a different experience than having to stay available for conversation.  It has helped me get a different perspective on my life.  I don’t feel like I have to figure things out as much.”

Noreen

“Therapy is challenging.  It helps to look at my life one piece at a time.  I’m more aware of how easily manipulated I was and that other people don’t need to determine how I deal with things.”

Olivia

“The benefits of counseling are that you get to know yourself better.  It helps me put things into perspective.  I’m loving myself more.  Beth encouraged me and my husband do our work separately instead of doing traditional marriage counseling.  It has been a growing, beautiful thing to grow separately, together.  We are much happier now.”
