"Working with Wendy allowed me to address a couple of issues that were blocking me from moving forward into a loving relationship with a new man in my life.  Old hurts and patterns had made me doubt myself.  In just a few sessions she helped me to resolve some fears and uncertainties, to trust myself and to move forward.  Now, a year and a half later, I am deeply grateful to say that I have found my way to being a loving partner while honoring myself.

Specifically about EMDR: I've participated in conventional therapy in the past, and I prefer working with Wendy, who uses EMDR and other techniques.  Instead of spending years sloshing through pain and releasing anger, hurt, and fear, working with Wendy allowed me to change old patterns and forge new ways of being in just a few weeks."  A.F.

"After being stuck for years in destructive patterns, doing EMDR with Wendy helped me change my beliefs about myself and the way I approach my life.  Her compassionate nature created a safe environment to move through grief and loss, and into healing." C.M.

"I was fortunate enough to do one-on-one counseling (as well as support group sessions) with Wendy Ball on and off over the course of 2 years, to deal with the emotional trauma of domestic abuse.  I’d seen other counselors previously, but it was just me talking and the counselor listening and nodding his or her head occasionally.  With Wendy, it was totally different and completely effective…. This was “roll-up-your-sleeves and work REALLY hard” therapy, so that my issues weren’t just discussed and shelved safely in a closet, they were dissected, processed, and discarded from my soul!  Wendygave me insight into my relationships, boundary issues, fears and insecurities, how my childhood relationships colored my adult relationships, and - most of all - how to find, soothe and strengthen MYSELF, which has been buried under emotional baggage for years!  I'd say that Wendy saved me - but she really helped me learn how to save myself!  I owe my serenity and my sanity to Wendy Ball."   K.C.

"Wendy has provided me with a solid foundation of awareness, skills and a safe environment for me to do the work I need to grow, learn and heal, in order to move forward and achieve my life goals." R.R.

"I had been in an abusive relationship for a very long time.  When I left I was lost.  I can remember making statements to different people and the stunned expression on their faces.  I made no sense.  Wendy worked with me in various ways and was very patient.  I always refer to EMDR as my shock treatment, because it worked!  Finally I see the light!  Wendy brought me back to reality.  Now I am the happiest I have ever been." D.M.
