"The
time that I have spent in therapy with Janette Ayd
has been a process of dealing with loss and bereavement
after the death of my wife, giving up my family home,
and retirement, all of which happened in a brief
period of time. I have come to better understand
and accept these events, the importance of living,
and my right to do so. I have also learned about
setting healthy boundaries, not something I did very
well in the past, dealing with issues of aging and
changing health, and planning for and anticipating
a future. When I remember my original reasons for
seeking therapy and examine where I am now, I am
particularly aware of the evolving process of change.
I especially appreciate Janette's warm, welcoming
presence, her ready understanding, and her support
and reinforcement. She has helped me to recognize
issues in my life which have not always been positive
and has empowered me to make meaningful changes. When
I think about where I might have been without therapy,
I am all the more certain about its importance in my
life."

Our time in therapy
has been the best investment we have ever made as a couple.
Janette is gracious and friendly, and makes us feel like
our problems are normal! Since starting with her 5 months
ago, our ability to communicate to each other and truly
feel comfortable talking about our problems as a couple
has increased tremendously.
Gone are the silly
fights over nothing because we now are finally able
to discuss our real problems and come to conclusions
and have dialogue as a team. We are getting married
in August and the future has never looked brighter!

Molly Cavanagh has
helped me in immeasurable ways. She has a kind, caring
manner and asks the right questions. I leave therapy
feeling challenged, inspired and am able to face the
world with a stronger, more positive attitude. I heartily
recommend Molly and am thankful that I found Ayd & Cavanagh
Psychological Services.

I had never
been to therapy before I started seeing Molly
Cavanagh. Psychotherapy sounded formidable and
I was apprehensive starting this pursuit. But
it ended up being a pleasant experience that
I enjoyed. The sessions were relaxed and casual,
and Molly was compassionate and helpful.
Life
has been greatly improved and I don’t have the nagging doubts that used
to plague me. Molly helped me see many of the positives
parts of life, and used cognitive behavioral strategies
to help me reframe my perspectives. Molly is a
great therapist and I’m grateful to her.

I needed help with
a family crisis and found Molly Cavanagh. She was able
to provide the needed resources to steer us in the
right direction and gave me and my family the support
we needed. We would have been lost without her. She’s
a pro and I’m glad we were referred to her.
I am privileged
to write this recommendation for Molly Cavanagh. When
I finally made the decision to go to counseling, I
looked for a psychotherapist in my area. I tried a
couple different therapists, but never met someone
who met my needs or I felt comfortable with. A friend
of mine suggested his therapist to me, and I initially
didn’t know if I wanted to make
the trip across town. After the second session, I knew the
drive was well worth it. Molly has a calm, gentle nature
and a genuine personality. She obviously likes what she does
and has helped me see that I’m not so bad myself. My
self-esteem has improved. Therapy and medication have been
effective in decreasing depression. My life is much better
than it’s ever been. My relationships are better,
my work is less stressful, and I feel happy. Molly
has made that possible.
Molly Cavanagh
is a steady support when I'm down, and an enthusiastic
life coach when I'm doing well. She is highly intuitive
and has excellent, practical ideas. My life works better
when I'm working with Molly.

I sought
the professional services of Ayd and Cavanagh Psychological
Services because of my mother’s increasing dementia.
I wanted the help of a professional for advice and
guidance and so as not to burden friends and family.
My
experience with Dr. Ayd has been exceptional. Her experience
in the field of dementia care and cognitive psychology
has been fundamental to my improved sense of well being
and ability to cope. The added benefit of the combined
practice means that family members can utilize Dr.
Ayd’s services while their impaired family members
can be evaluated by Molly Cavanagh.
Dr.
Ayd’s office environment is comfortable, pleasant
and inviting, as is her style and personality. I highly
recommend Dr. Ayd and Ayd and Cavanagh, LLC.

Since,
I can remember I have always felt “bluer” than the average
person. I have struggled with depression all my life,
and when I turned 30, I finally decided I did not want
to live the rest of my life like the previous 30. Like
you, I leafed through my medical company’s in-network
providers, and as fate would have it, I decided to call
Ayd & Cavanagh Psychological Services. I made
an appointment with Janette for the next evening,
and my life has not been the same since.
Janette
is very warm, open and attentive, and her office
is just as welcoming as she is. She has terrific
insight and knowledge on all matters dealing
with behavioral health. I found that after I left my
sessions with her, I felt revitalized, like the
huge black cloud that hung over me had finally
started to let some light through. The combination
of therapy with Janette and prescription medication
for depression completely changed my life. I
can not express in words how much better I feel now.
I wish I would have made the decision to seek
help years ago.

I have had a four
year battle with depression. Until I received therapy
from Janette my condition failed to improve.
I have kept
comprehensive records using the Burns index as a
guide and can prove conclusively the healing effect
of her therapy.
She has given me
a number of tips that have helped to mediate the effects
of depression. According to the Burns index my depression
is gone. What
more do you want?

I am and have been
a client of Janette Ayd for several years ~ sometimes
more intense, sometimes as "maintenance".
The frequency of my appointments seem to reflect the ebb
and flow of my life.
Therapy helps me keep 'things' in perspective. Complex and
embarrassing things, loss, even the bad choices I have made.
When I feel overwhelmed her wisdom and patience give me balance.
I often share how I reacted to a situation and ask for feed
back. This has become my personal gauge as to how well I
am doing in my decision making.
I feel the non-clinical environment makes it easier for me
to relax and share ~ ~ to listen and learn.
Signed ~ I'm liking me! |
