Cliché as it may sound, I would not be where I am today without Peggy's guidance and support. I started therapy with Peggy through Synergy Behavioral Health almost a decade ago, with no direction in life and a lot of self-hate, anger, fear, and pain. I've done Hospital and CPS - mandated therapy before, with little to negative impact. So voluntarily seeking out a therapist as an adult was a huge decision - and luckily, the best decision I've made for myself.
I had no clue how important it was to have a specialised therapist - in my case, a therapist specializing in trauma, who is incredibly familiar with CPTSD, and the various mental and behavioral conditions that come from childhood trauma. Through EMDR and Neurofeedback Therapy, along with learning about and establishing mindful practices, Peggy taught me quite literally how to calm the chaos in my brain. From that basic but crucial foundation, she helped me discover my calling and develop the skills I needed to become the powerful woman I am today. Therapists aren't the single-visit-cure people want - they are the Guides and Guardians of the mind, body and soul that people need. And the best ones, you find yourself coming back to throughout the years, to help guide you through the never-ending Ocean Waves of Life. That's who Peggy is for me.
