BEYOND TALK THERAPY PRIVATE SESSIONS (Men/Women)

"Dr. Drewry helped me through a stressful, disturbing life passage with an unconventional method of releasing fears and old memories and heartaches. So often therapy involves long-term commitment and personal hard work with a counselor who sits there looking vaguely benign, uninvolved and full of education - but not many answers on how to feel better. This is NOT her style. She takes your hand through the hard parts, gets to know you VERY quickly, and feels like a friend in a very short time. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to move on in life without taking forever to get better; and who wants a courageous, empowered person working with them and, through it all, have the feeling that you're involved in a great discovery."
- Charlotte Preston

"Damaris offers techniques which assist people in moving past fear into true self-expression. She has great integrity and is a living example of the joy which arises out of giving yourself permission to be present and whole."
- Beth Haggerty, LCSW

"I came away feeling empowered, not dependent on you."
- K. Dent

"After being jolted by a painful divorce, you helped me regain a sense of control of my life and opened doors to new insights and a deeper sense of purpose. I would like to see more MEN take advantage of your expertise. It would make the world a better place."
- Lars Bruer, Corporate Executive

"Words are insufficient to express the magnitude of the transformation that I've experienced with the help of Dr. Damaris Drewry. She helped uncover the love, intelligence, courage, and so many other wonderful things that are inside me, waiting to be expressed. She helped me find my way home to who I truly am. I'm filled with gratitude to Damaris, and for God's grace in leading me to her.
- C. Mossie/artist

"The most profound breakthrough is getting to a place where I can do what I really want in my life without feeling guilty, particularly in family issues. This has given me more creative freedom in my business life as well."
- Lisa Bonilla, Artist

"My session with you helped me to access, express, access, process, and let go of stuck emotions and attitudes. I moved grief and anger out of my body, which has made room for me to experience more joy. The attitudes I moved out were unworthiness, self-judgment and hate, which have made room for more love in my life. It was a spontaneous transformation - thank you!"
- C. Ross
