Testimonials

“Working with Elaine has opened up a new world of self-realization and spirituality for me, and has helped me make a radical transformation in my everyday life.  Under her guidance, I have been able to identify the origins of my old self-destructive patterns of thinking and behavior.  She has encouraged me to transform my thinking through practicing gratitude and forgiveness, releasing judgments, and accepting reality.  Today, thanks to Elaine, I have a more loving relationship with myself and my family.  I have developed a stronger spiritual connection to the universe and my Higher Power than ever before.  I feel that I am on a path that will only bring more love and joy into my life.”

“I am a skeptic and am very fussy.  Being in therapy with Elaine Simione showed me the competence, direction and answers I crave.  Elaine did more than listen.  She brought out my awareness of feelings, validated me, guided me, and led me to experience struggle in a way that I could feel the stability of my personal power.  She was the right medicine at the right time.  I am continuously grateful.”

“Through Elaine’s holistic approach to psychotherapy, I was able to realize why I chose to live my life the way that I did and through her guidance I have been able to change the way in which I think about myself thereby transforming my life.  This type of therapy transcends the traditional and goes a step further.  Elaine has been a God send to me and many others.”

“Like you, I was searching the web, looking for a holistic therapist, someone with whom I could feel safe, not judged, and be held in the highest regard.  I was looking for someone that would not only address my emotions, but also my body and my soul.  I was looking for someone to help me deal with painful issues and allow me to heal these wounds.  I wondered, is there someone out there that can help, really help me and work through a lot of stuff?  The day I met Elaine Simione, was the beginning of a journey that is changing my world.  I clearly feel that she walks the walk.  Her patience, understanding, and knowledge of integrative modalities help in assessing each person’s therapeutic needs.  Whether you have eating issues, abuse issues, addictions, depression, or just plain feel that something isn’t right, Elaine’s compassion, therapeutic skills, and down to earth personality will help guide you in making the positive changes for personal growth and healing in your life.   To feel worthiness, fulfillment and love is what the Creator of the Universe intends for each one of us.  I am truly blessed that Elaine is in my life.”

“Elaine has been instrumental in so many different trials and tribulations in my life.  She has helped me immensely in teaching me and encouraging me to feel my feelings.  Being the middle child of alcoholic parents, I was an expert as stuffing my feelings.  I could feel the “good” feelings, but none of the “bad” feelings.  I was numb.  I didn’t think I ever experienced anger, but I just didn’t acknowledge it.  Elaine helped me to get in touch with what was going on in my body.  I suffered some major losses in my life while working Elaine.  I can honestly say that I don’t think I would have survived without Elaine and my PTI friends.  Everyone was so supportive, empathetic and loving that I felt totally safe that everything would work out fine."

 Elaine is a wonderful teacher.  She has taught me to take care of myself so I can take better care of others.  She has helped me to let my inner light shine.  It is an amazing experience to realize that I am a good person.  After many years of feeling unworthy, I now know I am worthy because I am a child of God.  Elaine brought me to this realization.  I really could go on and on about Elaine and the positive influence she has had on my life.  Let Elaine into your life and she will forever be in your heart.”
