Emotions may feel overwhelming or uncontrollable, often swinging between intense highs and lows. There may be feelings of constant anxiety, sadness, or irritability.
Over time, emotions become more manageable, with greater resilience and the ability to self-soothe during emotional challenges, despite occasional ups and downs.
People may feel disconnected, unsure of their needs or how to manage emotions, often accompanied by self-criticism and confusion.
Self-awareness and self-acceptance grow, leading to better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and how to respond to your needs and triggers.
Coping may involve avoidance, denial, or unhealthy habits like substance abuse or overworking, with a tendency to withdraw or numb emotions.
People develop healthier coping strategies, like mindfulness, exercise, therapy, talking to a trusted friend, or creativity, and handle difficult emotions with more patience and self-compassion.
Difficulty setting boundaries or prioritizing self-care can lead to burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion, making relationships feel draining.
There’s greater clarity in understanding limits and setting boundaries, leading to healthier interactions and a stronger sense of personal empowerment.
Negative self-talk, feelings of worthlessness, and self-doubt are common, along with a sense of hopelessness or irrational thoughts.
Over time, negative self-talk decreases, replaced by positive or neutral thoughts. This fosters a greater sense of self-worth and a kinder, more supportive internal dialogue.
Relationships may be strained by emotional instability, withdrawal, or difficulty expressing needs, leading to a lack of trust, communication, or intimacy.
People experience more fulfilling relationships with improved communication, trust, and intimacy. Conflicts are resolved in healthier, more constructive ways.
Mental health challenges often lead to fatigue, lack of motivation, and feeling "stuck," making simple tasks overwhelming.
Energy levels improve, boosting motivation and enthusiasm for daily activities, with a stronger sense of passion and purpose.
Resistance to seeking help may stem from stigma, fear, or shame, with self-reliance acting as a barrier to support.
People become more open to seeking help through therapy, support groups, or trusted individuals, recognizing it as a sign of strength, not weakness.
There may be feelings of hopelessness and a belief that things won’t improve, with the future feeling uncertain or bleak.
Hope returns, with a stronger belief in growth, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Mental health challenges often impact physical health, causing fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues, and muscle tension.
As mental health improves, physical health often follows, with better sleep, higher energy, and improved overall well-being.

Betul AksoySeptember 9, 2024 BEST THERAPIST EVER! I had really bad PTSD after a friend passed away. It was resolved after 5 sessions (I believe) of EMDR. We also do talk therapy. She's so comforting. Radiate HigherMarch 13, 2023 Elizabeth is such a lovely soul! I am so grateful that we were able to work together, and embark on the journey that is EMDR therapy. Elizabeth helped me activate my power by allowing me to express my spirituality freely—without judgment. She’s given me more than words can express, and I will never forget her… I highly recommend Emending Counseling to everyone! 💕 Kim DavidsonSeptember 27, 2022 I am so grateful to have met Ms. Rivera, she has helped expand my thinking in so many ways to where I saw immediate results. I will admit i was a bit scared and apprehensive because I don't know what I don't know. She was able to walk me through exactly what was going to happen beforehand which reassured me and made me feel comfortable in trying a different approach with therapy. Ms. Rivera is phenomenal and her dedication to helping you realize / wake up to be in pursuit of the person you want to be using her different modalities is AH-MA- ZING!!! I truly have never thought so clearly. RJune 14, 2022 If you are struggling with something in your life and you truly want to get over that hurdle, I would highly, highly recommend working with Liz. I could say all the nice things about her, but I would run out of space. She is the first therapist where I didn't want to part ways, even though I had completed my work. I felt like she was an old friend and I made more progress with her than I had in traditional talk therapy--- in a fraction of the time! Jennifer JohnstonJanuary 18, 2022 My adolescent daughter received one on one with Ms.Rivera my daughter enjoyed her sessions and made significant progress. I highly recommend Ms Rivera for all of your family’s therapeutic needs Debbie ManfreJanuary 18, 2022 For 65 years I suffered with low self-esteem, shame, resentment, sadness and hopelessness. After many years of on again/off again talk therapy trying to find happiness, I finally found my knight in shining armor—Elizabeth Rivera. Her EMDR therapy, her patience and her knowledge of working with patients carrying around past trauma rescued me. After just 5 sessions with her, I truly felt like a new woman. I was able to finally surrender and let go of past hurts. In fact, I went from feeling invisible and paralyzed to feeling like an amazing new woman, with a voice that matters and a future that looks exciting. Thank you Elizabeth!
