“Dr. Uthoff offers her patients hope and a renewed sense of peace . We are grateful for the gentle and compassionate approach she demonstrated towards our daughter. Through her services of EMDR our daughter gained much needed healing!”

“In 2009, I was violently attacked by a guard dog and as a result I suffered from PTSD. My symptoms included nightmares, fear of leaving my house, sleeplessness, depression, anger, and anxiety. As a result of the dog bitting my face, all I could see when I looked in the mirror was the scar. I went through a year of counseling, reading suggested books. I was on medication for anxiety and to help me sleep. This seemed to help, but it wasn’t until an EMDR session with Dr. Uthoff that ALL my symptoms from this trauma went away. I highly recommend Dr. Uthoff.”

“Dr. Uthoff was my key to overcoming anxiety. After visiting other psychologists and having minimal result, Dr. Uthoff was able to do what others were not. She is very compassionate, understanding and supportive doctor. She is able to assist you in locating your troubled areas and give you positive and effective influences on how to rectify your areas of challenge. I know every doctor is different but from personal experience I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gisette Uthoff to anyone who is in need of finding peace within themselves.”

“I have been in law enforcement for over 22 years, and like many of you, I have been involved in several critical incidents in my career. One particular incident a few years ago began to affect me in ways that I have never experienced. This critical incident caused me anxiety and hyper-vigilance over a span of time which resulted in an overnight stay in a local hospital. Although, it was determined from this hospital stay that my heart was healthy and my blood pressure was stabilized, my marriage and personal life were not so healthy and alcohol consumption was becoming a nightly occurrence. After that panic attack, I realized that I needed help and a prescribed narcotic by a doctor wasn’t an option for me. Reluctantly, I reached out to The Counseling Team for assistance when I first met Dr. Gisette Uthoff. The first thing that I noted about Dr. G. Uthoff, was the fact that she was very patient, did not pry, and could relate to street cops very well. For the next few weeks, she helped me to understand the accumulative effects of stress caused from critical incidents, and the toll that it takes on cops over the span of a police officer’s career. In essence, what Dr. G. Uthoff helped me to understand is that we must relocate thenegative thoughts “files” of critical incidents to another side of our brain for resilience and sustainability for our emotional well-being. Contrary to my former beliefs, police officers do not become impervious to the emotional affects of critical incidents because we become seasoned “salty” law enforcement veterans, but the opposite is true. Dr. G. Uthoff introduced me to a psychotherapy technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that has been very successful in treating anxiety and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). After two EMDR sessions, I completed my counseling sessions with Dr. G. Uthoff, and from these sessions, I have made significant changes in my personal life and marriage which resulted in the recent promotion to a mid-manager position within my organization. Forever grateful and indebted.”
