The relationship between psychotherapist and client is one of the most powerful components to any intervention, especially psychotherapy!

In other words, clients are viewed through the lens of Ecological Systems Theory.
Keeping the above phrase in mind, neurons that fire together wire together, the neuronal activity in our brain is much like an orchestra. Imagine a beautiful piece of music is being conducted, very pleasing to the ear, then someone in the drum section coughs, a pianist's timing is off, someone in the choir sings off key and the conductor tries to get everyone back on track.
Trauma reaction is the inability to move the sensory memories of those traumatic experiences to our cognitive memory where the information can be processed, managed and reframed as a memory and not something that is happening in the here and now. When we think about trauma, we typically picture a war veteran.
My daughter was self harming (cutting) and suicidal when I made an appointment with Lea in January. After just one session Lea had already helped my daughter discover the cause of her anxiety and depression and taught her some coping skills. But when Lea started neuro-feedback the results were immediate & astounding!

The compassionate professional care provided by Wings of change pulled me through a very difficult time. Lea guides me through my anxiety with patience and true caring. This care has made a significant positive change in my life. During this time of stress due to the pandemic Lea has been a life saver. Knowing that help is just a phone call away I can get through the high anxiety attacks with Lea’s kind , gentle, professional council. I find it hard to find enough words to express my deep gratitude for this life changing care.
