My EMDR intensive with Sadie has elicited one of the most profound inner shifts I’ve ever felt. We worked through deeply held limiting beliefs that I did not know how to move past: ‘Little t’ trauma from as young as I can remember to issues I’ve faced recently.
Before my intensive, I was quite nervous but after the first day, I was excited to keep coming back. Sadie is so empathetic and she made me feel fully seen and heard. She taught me so much about myself and shifted my perspective on so many things. Each day after my session, I felt a deeper sense of lightness and freedom. I would recommend this experience to just about anyone. Working with Sadie has completely transformed my relationship with my family and myself and it has empowered me to live a life authentic to me. Thank you, Sadie! I’m so grateful!
I had been working on some deeply rooted trauma with my talk therapist for about 3 years. We had broken through some walls but there were just some that were not coming down with the talk therapy. I worked with Sadie over a few days in an Intensive EMDR session and it helped break through the remaining walls. EMDR helped me make the missing connections with my trauma and my reality. I learned I am more than my trauma. I now feel more responsibility for myself and my future than I ever have, and my decisions get to be my own.

I have been a firefighter with a department located in the Western US for 7 years. I’m currently an equipment operator working towards becoming a Company Officer.
After following a winding and sometimes dark mental health path I chose to seek help from Sadie Smith. I have had help from a few different mental health professionals. To try and cope with some of the bad calls I have gone on and to help with how I express my stress through anger. Some of these professionals I have connected with and grown with, others have been a huge waste of time. It was very evident early in my interactions with Sadie that she understood my “junk”. Through working with Sadie, I believe that I have bridged gaps in my ability to be a leader in my department and more importantly bridged gaps in my ability to be a great father and husband.

My experience with Sadie was wonderful. As a fellow EMDR therapist, I decided to see Sadie for her expertise and advanced experience in the field of trauma. After one 3-hour session with Sadie, I was able to resolve the issue I went into the office with. Since that session, I have felt safer, calmer, and less triggered throughout my daily life!

Wonderful therapist. Present and compassionate. Sadie provided useful and valuable feedback and therapeutic processes (EMDR) that were very beneficial in my healing. Highly recommended.

It is so hard to put into words what Sadie and EMDR have done in transforming my life. To not have to carry the gargantuan burden of trauma with me for the rest of my life was something I would have said was not possible 15 months ago. The weight and space of having my brain and heart free have allowed my life to open in unexpected and beautiful ways. Was the process easy. No but, as they say, things that are worth rarely are but was the journey worth it? A resounding and unequivocal, yes. I opted to do an intensive with Sadie to begin (5 days, 8 hours a day) and will now occasionally pop in for a check-in or, if something new has arisen, more work. Sadie, is not only affable but a thoughtful and practiced clinician who allowed me to feel safe, heard, and seen. I cannot recommend her, and her practice, enough to family and friends. That is, I offer my highest form of recommendation to anyone seeking to do the work and change their lives.

My work with Sadie was profoundly healing and grounding. Her EMDR approach coupled with her compassionate and direct nature helped me identify and work through the root causes of my depression and anxiety. She helped me move through and process some incredibly difficult events in my life. My time with her helped me strengthen my own identity and gave me many tools to help me navigate my relationships. The “healing process” in our lives is more of a journey than a destination, but I’m so fortunate that Sadie helped me navigate through many important parts of that journey. My experiences with her helped my life become much brighter.
