“Working with Tammy has completely turned my life around. I'd been dealing with a trauma that made it very hard for me to be present or experience joy in my life.

“Tammy Valicenti opened a door for me to experience life. I had suffered for years from anxiety and depression that was caused by a lifelong medical condition. Even though I had an incredibly good grasp that my mental and physical states were greatly influenced by this trauma, I still found my behaviors and life choices heavily influenced by traumatic memories. I was terrified, depressed, and felt stuck. However, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a podcast featuring Tammy discussing EMDR therapy and how she applies it. I was struck by how knowledgeable she was about trauma and how confident she was with EMDR as the best treatment. I then reached out to her via social media and was shocked when she quickly replied and set up a series of sessions. Tammy answered all my questions before the sessions started and was more than sympathetic during an emotional treatment. Further, the specific EMDR that Tammy practices is intense and takes effort, but it produces results very quickly. In fact, the sharp edge of trauma as it exists in my daily life has been muted to the point where I was and still am in disbelief. In sum, the best way I can describe my experience with Tammy V and EMDR is that she led me out of a dark spot that I was unable to navigate on my own, and I highly recommend her to anyone desiring to get out of their own traumatic darkness.”

“The results have been nothing short of miraculous. I am free. I know peace. I know who I am and what works for me. Our work makes me a better human.”

“I am a psychotherapist in practice for nearly 30 years. There are many different ways to help people when they are having trouble coping with their lives. Talk therapy is one, but it isn’t always the best way for those who have suffered trauma. EMDR is one that has proven to be quite helpful for trauma. I had an incident that felt abusive. I was angry and could not let it go. EMDR with Tammy was absolutely the right choice for me. She’s calm and practiced. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
— MLL, Colorado
“Thank you again for confirming I am not bat shit crazy!”

“I often say Tammy Valicenti saved my life. In 2010 I had my first diagnosed experience with generalized anxiety disorder. I thought I was having heart issues until a smart doctor suggested I go to therapy for anxiety. Tammy's name was the first on the list of available therapists. The universe was looking out for me that day. Seeing Tammy, and doing EMDR with her, saved my life. I now realize so many of the symptoms throughout my life that I'd attributed to something else were all anxiety and, thanks to working with Tammy, I now have so many strategies to live a full and healthy life. I was amazed at how quickly the EMDR worked and I remain incredibly grateful to Tammy for saving my life and opening the door to living a healthy life.”
— Kristen van Ginhoven, Berkshires, MA
“Working with Tammy has been so immensely healing for me. Her work is deep, full of love and totally transformational. I feel I can be completely myself with her without an ounce of judgment. I never know where a session is going to “go” but it always leads me to truths that are deep within my soul and moves out old patterns and habits that no longer serve me. I am deeply grateful to work and grow with someone who is so healing and wise! I would recommend her highly to anyone who is looking to dive deeper into the wisdom of their hearts.”
— Sarah Perlis, Massachusetts
“The PTSD that followed my trauma was manageable- until it wasn't. Over time, I realized I was carrying the trauma in my body... and the shaky stomach-dropping feeling was not one I could control through positive thinking and self-talk. This feeling felt woven into my very being, and the daily angst I experienced became unbearable. Tammy, and her EDMR approach, helped me to process the trauma in a way that allowed me to reframe my experience and release the feeling from my body. I experienced trauma, but I am not still experiencing it- and for me, that is the gift of EDMR. Thank you, Tammy. I will be forever grateful for the work we did together!”
— Rachel K., Massachusetts
“Tammy is a gentle guide who reminds us that we are not broken, just in the process, and this is a powerful gift for putting trauma into perspective and allowing healing to happen or go to the next level, and that your past doesn’t have to determine what’s possible for your future, which allows you to dream bigger and believe in yourself again.”
