Testimonials

“Getting NET has been the best self-care decision I’ve made in years. Dr. Irvine has been so kind to me in what was a very difficult life transition. Even though my life was in turmoil, when I was in sessions with Dr. Irvine, I was able to process about my current problems right along with some pretty intense trauma history.

I have a therapist but when those old problems and stories came up during these big changes in my life, everything seemed overwhelming. After just a few sessions I could feel my whole body start to come down from being in fight/flight mode.

And even more important to me, my mindset changed, and I started to see possibilities and the choices that I could make.  I started to trust myself again. I could not have done this on my own and I am so grateful to Dr. Irvine, I feel like she helped me find myself again.” Sabrina R. —Life Coach

“During my time working with Dr. Irvine, I developed the ability to see that there is something coming from underneath what I’m going through now. I also learned that the feelings of anger that I have may be coming from more than just right now. That really changes my outlook on life.

There is more space between what I feel and what comes out in how I act. To have that leeway for me, is a big improvement. I don’t have to act on everything I feel without thinking.

How do I say this…when I leave the session, I actually feel like there is more hope. It may sound simple to say but when I walk out of here there are a lot of things in my life haven’t gone so good but now there is also some hope that I can get to my goals.

Also, Dr. Irvine also really helped me learn to slow down, LoL.  I’ve also stopped trying to do all 15 things at once and now I can just focus on doing 1 or 2 things that actually help me.” Jeff G. —Resiliency Program*

“Working with Dr. Irvine was really good for me, and I really looked forward to the sessions because I felt comfortable enough with her that I could open up and get some things out that were bothering me. With her encouragement I was able to face some things that I’ve been having trouble facing.

I worked a little harder at looking at the positive aspects of the negative things that I’m going through. It helped me realize that I do have a good support network that I really wasn’t connecting with, but now I do have a small network of guys that are genuine and may be lifelong friends. 

Working with Dr. Irvine give me a foothold to open up and talk about some things that were really bothering me that I had not been able to talk about until I started the program with her. While I still have some pretty big problems, I can face them, knowing I am not alone.” Jim F. — U.S. Air Force, Resiliency Program*

“My sessions with Dr. Irvine have been very helpful, I truly appreciate her.  I had no idea what NET was, but what I know now is that I am moving forward in my work goals in a new way.  I can see a pattern that I have always fallen into and this time, I think I am doing things differently.” Wendel H. — U.S. Marines, Resiliency Program*
