• I honestly don’t even have the words to fully describe what ART has done for me, but I’ll try. Mrs. Larissa Hemley is one of the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. From the very first moment, I felt safe and cared for. I went into ART because I was struggling with severe PTSD from a traumatic birth experience. Any time my daughter or I got sick, I’d spiral into panic attacks and intense anxiety. I felt completely broken, like I was stuck in this painful loop I couldn’t get out of. After just one session, I was shocked—I could remember the day I gave birth without any panic or anxiety. None. I didn’t think that kind of healing was even possible. Somehow, ART reached the part of me that was still stuck in the trauma and helped bring peace to it. That part of me actually feels happy now. To be honest, I was skeptical at first. I didn’t understand how it could possibly work. But now? I’m a believer. I thank God for giving us ART and for leading me to Mrs. Hemley. If you’re struggling with trauma or PTSD, please try this. I’d recommend it to anyone. It works.

• I’ve been working with Larissa for a couple of years now, and the experience has truly been life-giving. Whether through ART or simply talking things through, she has guided me in processing trauma, overcoming triggers, and finding meaning in life’s messier moments. While I now see her just for occasional “maintenance,” the impact of our work together has been lasting. I’m more whole today than I was when I first walked through her door. Larissa has played a pivotal role in my healing and growth. After spending so long in survival mode, I can honestly say I’m finally thriving. I’m deeply grateful for her support and couldn’t recommend her more to anyone seeking help on their healing journey.

• I feel very fortunate that my wife was guided to Larissa, and in the process, I started to work with her too. We have both been seeking faith-based counseling, and there have been many years of struggles in this marriage that really need a faith-based approach in this new season of our lives. Larissa has a tremendous amount of life experience rooted in a deep faith, and it shows in the way she works and how she approaches her work. ART sessions have been very insightful and meaningful for both of us. This is new to both of us, and it is apparent to me that the counselor's skill and ability to insert creativity into a session count for a lot, which Larissa does extremely well. I enjoy how she works through each session and feel very blessed to have found her! THANK YOU Larissa!

• I started ART not really knowing what to expect, but it has honestly made such a big difference in my life. Most of my life I have been consumed with anxiety. Before starting ART I was experiencing a lot of anxiety around my health. I was constantly worrying, overthinking every little symptom, and it was exhausting both mentally and physically. After just a few sessions, I noticed a huge shift. The constant anxiety started to quiet down, and I wasn’t stuck in a spiral of health worries anymore. Because my mind has been calmer, even my physical symptoms have improved. I feel like I’m finally able to breathe again, literally and mentally. ART has helped me move past things I didn’t even realize were weighing me down. It’s quick and it’s not overwhelming. I’m really thankful I gave it a try.
