Here are a couple of recent testimonials from Dr. Jody’s clients:
My anxiety completely controlled my life for a few years. It controlled when I went to school, when I went out with my friends, and overall made my life miserable. I decided that I wanted to be able to control my own life and do what I wanted to do, not what my anxiety deemed was safe to do. Jody helped me overcome the worst of my anxiety, and I am now living out my dream of attending college and even studying abroad. I still live with my anxiety everyday, but Jody helped me develop the skills so that its manageable and that I control my life. Treatment was the hardest thing I ever did, but it was also the best thing I ever did because it gave me the freedom to live my life the way I want to.
Our son came to see Jody at age 15 in the grip of an acute and debilitating state of OCD and a severe accompanying depression. His therapeutic work with Jody was life transforming for him. We as a family were also transformed. It was remarkable to me how much positive change our son and our family was able to effect in our work with Jody. She brought more to the table than I could ever have imagined possible. Her extraordinary gift of rapport with our adolescent son and her insight into the conditions of his illness, her capacity to embrace and integrate the many strands of our family history into her approach went well beyond any therapeutic professionals I have encountered to get at the root of our family dynamic. Her passionate commitment, her wisdom, her honesty and directness, her wonderful sense of humor and above all, her tremendous generosity of heart created so much healing for our son and for our family. Through the insights she brought to us as parents, she empowered us to make major changes in our family system so that we could better support our son as he continues to make great progress. We are all a happier family today. Jody is that rare individual, a true healer who makes change happen. We will be eternally grateful that we had the great good luck to meet her.
