"My experience with Kathy and EMDR has been life changing. Within six months, I went from presenting as clinical PTSD in every area of my life to almost no PTSD symptoms. As a result of Kathy's expertise I feel lighter, more hopeful, and am more courageous, authentic. Perhaps most importantly, I am infinitely closer to a forty year goal...safety in my mind, in my body, and in my life. The process is intense and the resulting freedom is worth it." - H
"I was skeptical of EMDR when I heard about it, and even the first session I was like 'what am I doing???' but I trust Kathy, so I went with it and all I can say is the brain is a WILD thing! I had a traumatic experience when I was a teenager that I felt very guilty about, but after only 2 sessions of EMDR my entire perspective of the situation was altered. I was no longer ashamed of myself and there was distance to it. It no longer felt as if it just happened yesterday. I felt unburdened. It's hard to explain, but I am just so grateful I gave it a chance! I am now working on another EMDR target that's far less traumatic, but definitely contributes to some of my day to day insecurities and I am excited to work through it. You will not regret giving it a try, but you might regret not giving it a try. " - M.
Over the past 2 years, Kathy has helped me overcome so many challenges presented by anxiety and trauma. With her help, I have made more progress than I thought possible with therapy. As a trans person, I am often uncomfortable sharing my experiences and feelings, but Kathy makes me feel accepted and welcomed. -S
"What has been so beneficial to me with EMDR is the ability to tap into these early traumas: incidents of misogyny, bullying, coming of age, sex, and death (to name a few). These memories are too deeply existential for a young person to process. But when I was able to go back to a memory in such an acute way - with my adult self comforting and soothing my 8 year old self - it was more therapeutic than (6!) years of psychotherapy." ~S.
"To help let go of old trauma and to make room for a more fulfilling life, I highly recommend EMDR Intensives with Kathy Cumming. I am amazed at the quick progress I have made without being scared. She helps me understand how my mind is processing old memories. Since seeing Kathy, I now lead workshops, teach, and do the public speaking I always wanted to do."

"I am 71 years old and have been agoraphobic and claustrophobic since I was 15 due to trauma. Every time I made a plane reservation the anticipatory anxiety would begin and overwhelm me. Even though I forced myself to fly (and took medication to do so) many times it never changed. I always suffered from debilitating fear. For an upcoming flight, I decided to try EMDR. I was skeptical but hopeful. I met with Kathy once per week for three months in advance of the flight. I just flew over the July 4th holiday with no anticipatory anxiety or debilitating fear, and I actually enjoyed the flight! "~ J.
"At 37 years old I had never seen a therapist before. I knew it was important to find someone who was a good fit for me personally. Kathy was the the exact person I was looking for! I had a lot of uncomfortable things stuffed deep inside of me that Kathy somehow made it easy to talk about. She made me feel normal for feeling the things I felt and helped me see them through a different lense ultimately allowing me to process them the right way. Her non-judgemental and understanding approach built my trust quicker than I had ever anticipated and I am so grateful to have found her! I am going on 2+ years with seeing her every single week and it's honestly my favorite part of the week... even when the sessions are hard!" "~ M.
"Kathy is outstanding. I have been seeing her now for over two years, and it has been a great experience. My first session with her was the first time that I had ever gone to therapy, so I was nervous about how it would go. Kathy made sure that I felt comfortable at every session. She brings a wide range of tools and techniques to each session, drawing on the ones that she thinks are most fitting depending on what it is that I am working on. That has been extremely helpful to me as I work through both my trauma, but also in just helping me navigate everyday life. I can’t recommend her enough!" ~ C.
"Kathy has been instrumental in guiding me to learn how to best help myself over the years. Her kind and caring approach leads to immediate comfort and trust, both things important when building a relationship with a therapist. Utilizing various approaches, Kathy has given me many valuable tools to use in my daily life. Whether things are going well in life or times are feeling hopeless, Kathy is a great listener and someone to offer an outside perspective. I don’t know what I’d do without her in my life!"~ D.
"When I started working with Kathy, my anxiety was almost uncontrollable. Together, Kathy and I worked on exercises to help understand and eventually diminish my worries. She encouraged me to vocalize my inner thoughts to make them easier to digest. I have made huge strides " - M.
