Our Testimonials

“With a therapeutic style that is as clinical as it is spiritual, Danielle has created a practice rooted in deep self-discovery and transformative change. My time working with Danielle has resulted in some of the most profound healing moments of my life, and I sing her praises as both a practitioner and an incredible human being. Beyond traditional talk-therapy sessions, Danielle’s incorporation of EMDR and group meditation workshops have deepened my healing journey and provided me with a much desired sense of community. I highly recommended Danielle’s services for anyone seeking true healing and change in their lives.”

"I always leave my EMDR sessions with Danielle feeling…lighter. As if energetically, something was weighing me down that I wasn’t even aware of, and was cleared out of my body. I always compare it to that one Spongebob scene where they look inside his brain, and it looks like an office space with overstuffed filing cabinets, papers flying everywhere, and everything is on fire. EMDR is like putting out the fires, putting all the papers back in the correct compartment of each filing cabinet, and tidying up the rest of the office. The “mess” is made up of a bunch of unprocessed memories, emotions, and pain that’s either been stuffed down time and time again intentionally because we don’t want to feel it and pretend it didn’t happen, or it got “stuck” because the experience was just too traumatic for us to understand at the time. EMDR is basically shaking hands with those stuck, unprocessed moments, saying “nice to see you again,” reliving the pain and anxiety, letting it rock your world for a bit, but this time, you’re doing so in a safe space, and letting the dust settle where it’s supposed to. You start to integrate these moments as your brain makes sense of what has happened, and you pair these moments with positive affirmations that allow you to free yourself from the negative weight these moments have piled on your shoulders for far too long. In the end, I’ve been able to process certain scenarios from my childhood and gain clarity as to why I am the way I am, so much so that I am able to process simply through talk therapy now without the need for EMDR."

"I first started seeing Danielle Relyea because I was struggling with dealing with grief from a loved one’s passing.  My thought was that within a month or two my grief would be resolved to a manageable and more appropriate level, and then I’d be 'done.'

Well, that did happen, sort of…….what I didn’t expect was to continue on with therapy and identify and work on other issues that had been impacting me for my entire life.  During the course of this therapy, other unexpected and devastating events occurred and I am SO GRATEFUL that Danielle was in my life to help guide me through it all.  I’ve developed a whole new way of looking at and dealing with issues in my life.  Additionally, doing EMDR therapy has been an amazing miracle for me.  Issues that had previously triggered panic no longer evoked that response.  It was mind-boggling to me that I could recognize that these trigger incidents no longer 'made' me feel panicked…..the emotional charge was gone.

All through this process, Danielle has been so kind and caring.  I felt safe to share anything that I needed to with her.  I felt confident that she recognized what was going on and would shepherd me through.  What a relief that I could let go……I didn’t need to figure it out by myself.  I felt safe.  What a blessing.

Danielle also helped me to recognize the strengths and good qualities that I already possessed.  How about that……thank you Danielle."

"An incredibly amazing human being… I’m blessed to have found her. Danielle is the true definition of compassion, empathy, non-judgement and overall a loving selfless person. I’ve been working with Danielle for years and she truly is the best out there! When I was at my lowest point she was there!.

She didn’t walk away and she never gave up on me. She showed me that I have worth, and purpose and taught me how to fight for myself and helped restore hope in me that was lost. When I didn’t trust anyone she made it safe for me to trust her! She’s helped pull me out of some of the darkest places and has tremendous knowledge and expertise in EMDR AND trauma informed therapy. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her help and guidance. She has shown me and taught me so many things that I will forever be grateful for. If you need someone in your corner and someone who knows their stuff I highly recommend Danielle. LOL I’m always referring people too."

"Danielle is truly an incredible person and practitioner. I have been fortunate to be working with her for years. Danielle creates a safe and compassionate environment to work through past experiences. We don’t necessarily realize how much our body and minds hold onto what we have gone through.

EMDR and trauma therapy have changed my world. I am able to think clearer and have truly found myself, my confidence, and inner power. It has made a positive impact in my personal life and relationships. I believe in this so much so I plan to use EMDR in my own career.

I am so grateful to have found Danielle! Highly recommend to anyone!!"

"I have been working with Danielle for several years now & have been fortunate enough to do many EMDR sessions throughout that time. With Danielle's help & through EMDR I have been able to work through so much of my trauma and repressed emotion in a safe and healthy way.

Anytime I start a session scared to deal with the trauma we're targeting, I leave the session feeling brave, powerful, and at peace. EMDR is an incredibly effective, efficient, freeing form of therapy that I could not be more grateful for, especially with Danielle's help! It's been an amazingly transformative experience that has helped teach me so much about myself and my emotions. The way it has changed my relationship with myself and others for the better fills me with so much gratitude every day.

If you were looking for a sign to try it...this is it!"

"In working with Danielle for over a year, I’ve found her to be such a kind, caring and knowledgeable therapist.  We’ve done EMDR trauma therapy, which has been a miracle in my life!  She has helped me to shift my thinking and set appropriate boundaries – and recognize the strengths I already possess (yay!).  I would recommend Danielle to anyone……she has been a huge blessing and gift in my life."

 As a man and law enforcement officer, I initially approached therapy with skepticism. However, I recognized the need to address the struggles in my home life and the traumas I had experienced. Danielle's expertise, compassion, and genuine care helped me build trust and open up in ways I had never thought possible. She educated me about learned behaviors and coping mechanisms, emphasizing that they are not a reflection of our worth. Through her guidance, I was able to release pain that had been buried in my nervous system and change patterns I struggled with for my entire 44 years. She has positively impacted both my life and my family's in countless ways. Danielle is incredible! Taking that first step toward growth with the right professional is a journey worth pursuing. I've returned to her several times over the years because her support helps me stay on track and continue progressing!
