Beyond Healing Counseling Center

“I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find a healthcare provider you genuinely trust someone you feel truly has your back and cares about *you* and your overall well-being. After being made to feel like cattle by some of the larger mental health facilities in this area, I walked out of my very first appointment with Brandon Finley feeling something I haven't felt in a very long time: **optimistic about the future.** For the first time in three years, I felt like there might actually be a path forward. I have experienced a lot of trauma throughout my 44 years, and from the moment I met Brandon, I never once felt judged. He listened. He empathized. He took the time to understand me as a person rather than simply looking at a list of symptoms. He offered recommendations and options for me to consider without making me feel pressured to immediately commit to anything. For someone who needs time to process and digest things before making decisions, that meant more to me than I can adequately put into words. I am incredibly grateful that Beyond Healing has opened its doors. It truly feels like a breath of fresh air in an industry increasingly dominated by large organizations that can sometimes feel more like corporate environments than healthcare facilities. Thank you, Brandon, and the entire Beyond Healing team, for creating a place where people can feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. I am so grateful I found you, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds. ❤️”

“I loved my EMDR training with Beyond Healing. All the instructors were so dynamic! I learned so much that I can't wait to continue with my training! Bridger is brilliant, kind and extremely helpful! My overall experience was phenomenal. If you are looking to get certified in EMDR, please look no further. Beyond Healing is where it is at.”

“Excellent EMDR Basic Training course! The team is not only well-versed in EMDR research, they also have tons of experience as practitioners. This means they can explain every step and nuance with actual cases. Jen and Bridger are truly talented at making complex aspects of EMDR practical and digestible. I loved how much tangible guidance they gave the class, along with many videos that showed us thorough breakdowns of how various techniques are implemented. They offer the Basic Training course both online and in-person, but I think anyone would get a lot more out of the in-person experience.”

“I have completed both trainings and retreats with Beyond Healing and both have been, by far, the best experiences I have experienced. The trainings are well structured, amazing information, but also a very supportive learning environment. I am not the person who wants to raise my hand and ask questions and usually never do, but have always felt comfortable asking all the trainers when I needed clarification. SIP I and II changed me as a clinician in allowing me to be more attuned to who I am as a therapist and to see each client in a much more complete lens than I ever learned in school. The retreats were the most effective and thorough therapy and I have had in my life. I can't express my gratitude for all they have taught me and will continue to work with them as much as I am able.
