The worst part of trauma is not what happened in your past but its hold on your present and future.

Mistrusting yourself and others

Believing you are worthless

Seeing threats everywhere

Isolating from loved ones
Most clients see results within one session and enjoy complete recovery within 12 sessions.

It has now been a year since I took this trauma recovery workshop and I feel so grateful I was able to work with Dr Shepard. She made all of this so easy, almost enjoyable, and so transformational. I have made some very healthy changes - I have opened myself up to new friends and a stronger relationship with my spouse. I don't fear the dark, or the future, and I feel more able to express myself with gentle firmness when I disagree with someone else. In a nutshell, I feel like my past trauma no longer dictates my future.

Meredith is amazing. Don't know what else I can say. She's kind, warm, a great listener, and extremely knowledgeable. I couldn't be happier with my sessions and progress with her. I'm looking forward to who I will be when we finish the work! :-)

When I worked with Meredith, I found a person with whom a powerful mirror is shown, her deep authenticity, presence and skills in listening would help me to hear my own thoughts and wisdom reflected back to me in a way that I wasn't hearing...
Her reflection to me of where I am today compared to where I was at the start, was so helpful. Back then, I felt a shell of my former self. Today, I feel so strongly reconnected back into my own inner light, the part of me I so strongly have anchored from, and am able to, again, root and soar from.
