Caldwell Linda

*Edit 2* I literally have emails that prove I saw you linda. I Added a screenshot of a few to this review. *Linda caldwell says I have never been to her office and that my review is fake... im "not in her records" because i recently got married and changed my last name! And yes EMDR therapy is amazing, my new therapist is helping me a lot through PROPER emdr technique - which is something Mrs Caldwell did not do properly. I just wanted to warn people that her technique is more similar to flooding so that clients can be aware of what they are getting themselves into. I felt like I was pretty nice in my review considering how horrible she was. She continually tried to excuse the behavior of the sick s.o.b who traumatized me and sometimes even called him my "boyfriend" (i made it clear he was not! I was 17 and this sicko was 26 and grooming me!) She also pushed her religion on me and constantly made me feel uncomftorable. Just some advice , stop dismissing your clients.*** She doesnt properly follow the emdr technique at all, what she does is more similar to flooding. Maybe that will work for you but the way she did "emdr" processing with me completely re-traumatized me. I blamed myself for not getting better until my new therapist explained that the way she was doing emdr was wrong. She skipped so many steps, provided no feedback when i needed to talk things through, and didnt provide me with any coping skills before we started.

It’s amazing how quickly EMDR can help you get unstuck from an experience or multiple experiences that have clouded your feelings for a long time. I felt so much more positive in three sessions! Highly recommended.

I took part in EMDR therapy with Mrs. Caldwell for about 6 weeks. I originally went in for issues with abandonment that was affecting intrapersonal relationships. After just the first session, I began to notice improvements in my behavior as well as my intrusive thoughts about being abandoned. After finishing EMDR therapy, the problems and worries I originally had have become significantly less daunting and I have been much better at managing my own thoughts and behaviors, as I now know how to recognize them and stop the thoughts before they become too much to handle. This method worked wonders for me and I highly recommend this treatment to others!

I had been seeing a traditional counselor for years and loved it, however there is some thing very special and specific about EMDR that cannot be found elsewhere! EMDR helped me in a short amount of time (less than 5 months) by being able to unlock memories that had been buried deep and helped me see how they were affecting my current life. I had experienced childhood traumas as well as a recent event that triggered PTSD with anxiety and depression. I was on medication, struggling with sleep, anxiety over going places as well as nightmares. Working with Linda (she is amazing) through EMDR therapy, changed my entire circumstances. EMDR helped me move past the trauma, seeing it for what it was and helped me manage the stress in a healthy way so that I could have my life back. 😊

I can't say enough about our experience with Linda. She was kind and compassionate and willing to go above and beyond to get our daughter the help that she needed. My daughter began treatment during the pandemic and Linda made what could have been very awkward and difficult treatment very comfortable and smooth for my daughter. Treatment ended about a month ago and my daughter is healthy and happy now. We have never gone more than a week or so without a blow up from her and it's been a month. She says she feels freer, lighter, and that she can breathe easier. I can't say that we won't have some issues in the future but I really believe that Linda and EMDR have changed the course of my daughter's future and I will forever be grateful for that!
