I’ve worked with four different therapists throughout my life for various reasons, but Kris at IFTIL has had the most profound impact by far. Her unique blend of talk therapy and EMDR helped me work through deep, long-standing issues that I had struggled with for years. I can’t recommend her enough!
–Andrea, IFTIL client
As a man, accepting the idea that I could benefit from therapy was hard. But just like a weary dog can be coaxed into the vet’s office with treats, my wife cleverly lured me into visiting IFTIL. And like that anxious pup, I left the office feeling renewed in ways that made my head spin, thanks to Kris’s skill and expertise. Tools like EMDR and brainspotting made a significant difference in my healing journey.
–Jonathan, IFTIL client
Once I started going to IFTIL and practicing EMDR, I have a happier and more confident outlook on things and I am able to control my anxiety more than I ever have. Starting therapy with them was the best decision I have made for myself!
–Brenna, IFTIL client
I've had an incredibly positive experience at IFTIL. IFTIL has provided me with invaluable support and guidance. Their ability to help me step out of my own mind and see triggers and be able to help me reset those bad experiences and “tapes” through EMDR has created a safe and comfortable space for me to work through my challenges. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking a caring and effective therapist.
