Finding Core Balance

Felicia is a wonderful therapist. She is a cheerleader but also pushes you to be the best version of yourself. She is wise and quite knowledgeable and takes the time to really listen with care and purposeful concern. I highly recommend her to anyone considering therapy. She is gifted in her craft and in the life-changing business. I am thankful and appreciative of the work she does and feel my life is back on track because of it.

When I first came to Felicia, I was a hot mess. I was struggling with anxiety, grief, and relationships and didn't know where to start. Since working with Felicia, I'm able to tell a difference mentally, emotionally, and physically. She's helped me set PRs with my runs and weightlifting! My self-confidence is through the roof; I'm more confident in my mental grit; and even other people can tell how truly happy I am through my body language and interactions. As long as you're willing to put in the work and learn that growth means being uncomfortable sometimes, therapy works! I'd recommend this platform and Felicia to anyone in a heartbeat.

I've had plenty of therapists during my adult life. None has ever got to the core of who am I, and why. Felicia does not put words in your mouth, she allows you to find the right meaning of who you are, and she addresses this in a healthy way. After each session I have an "ah' ah" moment, a reality check. Having these meaningful conversations has helped my personal growth. I'm mentally and emotionally a stronger person. I now know the importance of having healthy boundaries, and self-worth. If only had had Felicia in my life a long time ago. She could have saved me from years of being blind to emotional and mental barriers.

I was 70 years old when I started working with my therapist, Felicia Bates. At that time, I was as low as I had ever been in my life. She guided me through a process that was educational, at times painful, but always worthwhile. My childhood experiences left me with very low self-esteem. I had spent my life ignoring or at least downplaying the abuse from my childhood in order to spare everyone else my discomfort. Unfortunately, in doing so, I kept it for myself. Now, after several months, I have the tools to love myself and put myself first. I wish I could describe how different I feel today than I did seven months ago. I have a lightness that didn't exist before. If you have any thoughts of trying therapy, I can't recommend Felicia Bates highly enough. I feel like a new person, and I thank her for working with me and teaching me how to love myself.

Felicia was AMAZING! She helped me sort out things and helped me to really break down issues. I laughed and cried, and it was all for the better! I would give 100 stars to her if I could. She listened and offered ways to help me think through things, I felt so comfortable talking with her!

I'd worked with several therapists, all of whom made me feel that once of overcome specific issues/circumstances that I was healed. So, when I started working with Felicia, I had no idea what to expect. After only three months, I experienced the most profound transformation of seeing myself through lens of my past or through the eyes, feelings and needs of others; to standing firmly in who I am and all of the things, circumstances, and people that helped shape me, all while releasing myself of any and all that no longer serves me. Through understanding and an unrelenting positive spirit, Felicia challenges me to stay grounded in what benefits me; allowing me to see myself and to move in both grace and exceptionalism. She helps me to give language to both my pain and my truth, making space for me to sit in each instead of skirting them. I absolutely love that Felicia celebrates me every step of the way even when I don't see the growth she does. Her vibrance, humor, and straightforward nature is the perfect complement to anyone looking to get out of their own way to become their better self. Seven months later, I look forward to every session because I know this growth journey with Felicia by my side will be more rewarding than even, I can imagine!

Felicia helped walk me through my hardest memories and get through the trauma. I am in such a better place mentally than I was 6 months ago. She gave me the tools I needed to put in the work. I would recommend Felicia to anyone who has gone through significant trauma in their life.
