M. Nelson Psychological Counseling Testimonials

"Overall, a great experience with this company. Great location, excellent staff. Very professional."

"I have tried other psychologists but always ended up just visiting with them. With Mary using the EMDR method, we got right to work, addressing and processing the bad experiences that were holding me back. For the first time in my life, I started to heal. I felt incredible relief knowing that I had finally found someone who could help me.

I was able to leave a very unhappy marriage. I continue to grow stronger and for the first time in my life, I am being true to myself and living my life for me.

Making that first appointment with Mary was the best decision I have ever made. She is so non-judging, kind, caring and honest. The work we have done has been hard but Mary has a gift for leading people through pain and misery, making it all just a memory so I can get on with my life. Thanks to her I am finally getting my life back, I cannot thank her enough."

"It is such a gift to feel so alive and at peace after more than a decade of depression. Over the years, the trauma from a combination of major health issues, deaths of people close to me, difficult living and job situations brought on and intensified the depression. While I sought counseling and worked earnestly to move out of the depression, I found myself only moving deeper into it as I experienced continuing chaotic life situations. Thank you, Mary, for the combination of your caring and compassion with your skill in the use of hypnosis and EMDR that helped me work out of the depression and grow into greater peace and joy in life. Gratefully I have been able to disconnect the emotional charge from the past experiences to understand them in new ways as well as experience greater compassion for myself and for those with whom I experienced difficulties."

"I am a woman who is becoming healthier in body, mind, and spirit. I came to Mary Doyle Nelson for counseling. Anxiety, depression and physical illnesses were a constant in my life. It became more difficult to cope with life. Through EMDR and hypnosis, I gradually spoke the stories of the past. As a small child and for many years I experienced incest by my alcoholic father. My mother's anger, anxiety, and depression turned into verbal and physical abuse. Outwardly I learned how to look capable and live a normal life. Inwardly I internalized the feelings of fear, anger, and shame and turned them into the beliefs that I am not good, I am not able and I am broken. Because of these long-held secrets, I felt different and odd.

Through the process of EMDR and hypnosis, I found a safe way to tell the stories and express the tears, rage, and grief that lived in my body for so long. I come to know the goodness, strength, and courage that live within me. In Trusting Mary myself and others, I begin to believe and love myself. Truly it is a journey that gifts one with peace, compassion, and hope."

"I have been to three other counselors for my depression. I would feel good for a while after therapy only to have my sadness and fatigue return. This has been going on for 20+ years.

It wasn't until I found out about Mary and EMDR that I finally can tell you that I feel so much better! I have resolved issues that have been bothering me for years. Some of which I knew about, like the abortion I had but other things even going back to the childhood that had affected me and I didn't even realize it.

I am so grateful to find Mary and EMDR. I find myself much less emotional and happier. I only wish I had found out about this treatment several years ago. Thank You, Mary!"

"The accolades of Mary's high quality of work and professionalism are numerous. Mary made me feel very comfortable and my trust in her developed immediately, therefore, I was able to work on my issues without delay. She genuinely cares, is non-judgemental, confidential, and accommodating. I was apprehensive about the EMDR and hypnosis process at first but both have been so beneficial to my healing. If you are reading my testimonial you are searching for self-improvement and a better quality of life. Without hesitation, I would recommend you to contact Mary."
