Trauma Therapy with Sandy has had a profound impact on my healing from an abusive relationship. Although it seemed daunting to go through each traumatic event and allow myself to feel my suppressed emotions, the therapy allowed me to clearly process the events and identify the false beliefs I had developed because of the trauma. Sandy walks through the entire process with you and is a caring and insightful guide. Instead of just talking about the event over and over like many typical counselor sessions, Sandy guides you through 6 focused stages with specific personal work for each one. I have experienced so much healing and freedom after completing this therapy. I highly recommend Sandy to anyone who is in need of healing after experiencing trauma. - Bethany B

I completed the trauma counseling process with Dr. Sandy Schremmer and it has been truly life changing.

Not only did Sandy remind me of truth when I couldn’t see it but trauma counseling has changed the the lens I view the world through. What used to be confusing and unclear is now simple, more black and white and lot less gray. The process has increased my confidence, empowered me to use my voice and trust my gut. Not only do I feel the change inside of myself but the external effects are evident as well. My decisions reflect the life that I’m adjusting to and working towards rather than defaulting to old patterns. Communication is easier and offenses are received far less personally. I can’t encourage others enough to embark on the journey of trauma counseling. The benefits are beyond worth it for yourself and everyone around you!! Highly recommend.

 When asked if I would write a testimonial, I could not pass up the opportunity to give back to Sandy just a fraction of the goodness she brought to my life. I have used Sandy as my life coach for the last 2 ½ years. During this time, she has helped me deal with a tragic injury that happened to my youngest son, a divorce after 35 years of marriage, and adjusting to life after divorce. She has helped me realize there is nothing more important than relationships. I have a very “type A,” results driven, old school, disciplinarian type personality. I “had” a heavy hand and was not ever going to back down from a fight. 

I met Sandy when a friend recommended her for trauma counseling for my son after he lost his eye in an accident. Then a couple of months later, a different change of events led me to start regular sessions with Sandy. I can honestly say I have measured results and definite benchmarks on progress. I have had several colleagues, direct reports, contractors, and most of all, my adult children recognize the change in me over the past 2 1/2 years. There were very dark days over the past years, but I knew Sandy was just a call away if I needed her. I have been a Christian for most of my life. 

Sandy has a strong belief in God and his grace was always present in our sessions. She prayed with me at the end of our session and those were the most powerful prayers I have ever heard. They lifted me up, gave me hope and the internal strength to continue. Sandy is not afraid to deliver tough messages. Once in a while she would tell me something I did not want to hear, but at the end of the day, and in retrospect, I needed to hear every word of it. I thank God she had the courage to tell me what I needed to be said. 

Sandy has been one of the most influential people in my life. I am a better person, Christian, manager, and most of all father, all because of her. She creates awareness in a spectacular fashion, and I use what she has taught me daily. I wish I would have met her many years ago. There are so many things I would have done differently. As I wrote this and reflected on my time, I got a couple of lumps in my throat and teared up a few times. I guess it is another benchmark in how far I have come in my journey and mostly, just now fully realizing how much I needed Sandy in my life.  - Troy B.

 Sandy has been one of the sweetest guides in my journey of following Jesus. I started meeting with her when I was an achievement-addicted, “go go go” high school senior with lots of dreams but little ability to decipher my feelings and fears as I prepared for college. Today, it is such a privilege to share that Jesus has refined my heart into one that prizes rest as much as productivity and walks bravely enough to face my feelings and fears no matter the season. Sandy has been an integral part in this process. Sandy is first bravely obedient to Jesus and His work through her, evident in her patient listening ear and gentle heart. Secondly, she balances grace with grit, knowing when to simply hold space for me to cry and when to challenge me to believe in what God has for me versus what I believe is possible in my power. She has been a stable place to land despite difficult seasons I have walked through in the past two years. Overall, I could never thank Sandy enough or even articulate how grateful I am for the advocate she has been for me; she is truly the biggest blessing. - Cambri D

When I came to Dr. Sandy, I was grieving the loss of a cherished job relationship and living in a state of confusion and hurt after experiencing what she helped me realize was spiritual abuse.  She validated my pain, but she also opened the door to understanding my role in relationships and seeing patterns of behavior I had become accustomed to but didn’t know how to address.   Her guidance led me to see that I had been holding onto my pain in fear that others in my relationships might be uncomfortable with expressing emotion and how unhealthy this behavior is in mature relationships.  Along the way, she invited my husband into my healing and gave us tools to work through my pain together, ultimately strengthening our relationship in ways that I can’t begin to thank her enough for.  She taught us the importance of clear communication, how to acknowledge our individual roles in conflict resolution, and gave us tools for setting clear expectations and boundaries.  Though my initial need in counseling was grief, Dr. Sandy was able to use that pain to reveal so much more about how my response to distress was affecting all my relationships.  I have referred her repeatedly to many friends who are looking for a therapist to help navigate a struggle occurring in any relationship.  

Dr. Sandy embodies the Spirit of Christ and lives out this scripture through her practice.  I am so grateful for her devotion to the care and comfort of other through Him. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.  For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.  If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.  And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.”  2 Corinthians 1:3-7  - Megan B.

I have been a client of Sandy's for over 7 years. I was referred to her while going through an unexpected and devastating divorce. At first, and for many months, I saw her weekly and God used her to breathe life and faith into me to make it through the days. Sandy is full of compassion and mercy, but also unashamed and not afraid to boldly speak the truth. Her office hosts the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit and she first and foremost submits to God's word in her own life before she offers counsel. Sandy is non judgemental and has much experience in dealing with the hardships and tragedies of life. She understands human nature and is not shocked by sin, but she also knows the source of life in Jesus and will always advise and point the way toward him. I am beyond grateful for Sandy's wisdom and she has remained a mentor in my life, I make it a priority to schedule time with her at least a few times a year to maintain a healthy mindset. Her counsel has shaped my life in a wonderful way and strengthened my identity in Christ. - Kelly M

Sandy is amazing and I am grateful for all she has done for me personally as well as my family.  She has a way of making you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in to her office.  What started off as a friendly referral has developed into trusted friendship.  I never hesitate to to give her name out to someone that is looking for Godly wisdom and practical application to their day to day. - Kirk D

I have deep gratitude for Sandy Schremmer.  We came to her for couples' counseling at an integral time in our marriage.  She helped us turn false beliefs we both held into truths with practical applications. She provided a safe place for both of us to share without one feeling lesser or to blame.  We felt loved and accepted right where we were on our journey.  She was not afraid to have hard conversations wrapped in love! Her insight and strength beautifully compliment her kind, gentle spirit. - Mary Michael M.

When we came to Dr. Sandy, we were stuck in many broken places in our marriage and on the verge of divorce. We struggled to communicate our places of pain well to one another and could not heal. Dr. Sandy took time to thoroughly assess who we are as individuals; she met each of us right where we were at and taught us to see ourselves and our situation through an entirely new lens. Slowly she lifted vails on our eyes we didn’t even know were there. She equipped us with techniques for healthy communication filled with empathy and wisdom. Now, 12 years later, our marriage is stronger than we could have ever dreamed. We still visit Sandy when we get stuck on issues. These sessions are less frequent as we have learned to use the tools she gave us!  - David and Keri C
