Reflections Shared Voluntarily by People About Their Therapy Experience

What People Have Shared

Choosing a therapist is an important decision. You are choosing the person with whom you are going to share very sensitive information and count on to provide care and support. Understanding how a therapist works and treats clients can help you make decisions with confidence. Hearing from others about their therapy experiences can reassure you. It may also help you decide if therapy is right for you.

The reflections on this page are from people who have been in therapy and decided to share their feedback. To protect privacy and confidentiality, identifying details are not included.

Sarah's Story: Finding Freedom from Childhood Trauma

I’m Sarah, a 34-year-old teacher, and I’ve carried the pain of childhood abuse for years. PTSD hit me hard with constant flashbacks, anxiety that wouldn’t quit, and a hypervigilance that made me feel on edge all the time. I struggled to connect with my students and avoided friends because triggers were everywhere.

Working with Kassandra changed everything. Her EMDR therapy was a game-changer, and she’s so knowledgeable about trauma—I felt confident in her qualifications right away. She’s such a caring listener, always making me feel understood and never judged. Kassandra was so flexible with my teaching schedule, which made therapy doable. Her empathetic approach helped me process memories at my own pace.

Now, my flashbacks are rare, and my anxiety doesn’t control me anymore. I’m more present with my students and actually enjoy going out with friends. I feel hopeful for the first time in years. Kassandra, your understanding and expertise gave me freedom—thank you!
