I am a New Decision Therapy practitioner who trained with Dr. Kandis Blakely. I practice out of an office in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
Throughout my life I have felt profoundly the separation our Western culture creates between mind, body, and spirit. I struggled for years with a chronic pain condition that I eventually was able to overcome, and that journey helped to show me how (to my surprise) our bodies, minds, and spirits are one; and (even more surprising) are a source of energy and joy. I had been taught through a well-intentioned but severe religion that our spirits are good, our bodies are bad, and our minds tend toward the evil.
So I explored the mind/body therapy field, looking for a technique that would enable me to help others by uniting the somewhat intellectual process of talk therapy with the body and spirit, treating them all as one unit. I eventually discovered New Decision Therapy, a technique that unites and treats mind, body, and spirit.
New Decision Therapy is effective, fascinating, surprising, and fast. I have watched clients both finally come to closure with a difficult relationship that they have worked hard on in regular therapy but never addressed via the body/mind. They also learned to deal with things they previously considered inconsequential, yet their bodies were tenaciously hanging onto the pain. In NDT, we are able to pinpoint and release issues that clients don't consciously understand are blocking them. By using Kinesiology, we circumvent the conscious mind and go directly to the subconscious.
I schedule one hour and a half for the first session, which costs $100, and an hour for subsequent sessions, which are $80. I have a sliding scale if finances are truly a hardship. I also do follow-up "tune-up" sessions. Although often people can clear all their energy blocks in just a couple of sessions, issues do come up in layers, and clients can come in if they wish when new issues arise. Kantillation sessions are an exciting post-NDT option also. NDT work clears up your past, and Kantillation allows you to figure out your next step for the future, helping you to let go of any belief that is preventing you from taking that next step.
In addition to practicing New Decision Therapy, I am training in Theta Healing and polarity therapy techniques. I am an interfaith minister licensed in New York State. I graduated from The New Seminary, which teaches that every faith is a path to the Divine Spirit. In addition, I'm an AEA/SAG/AFTRA actress, a writer, and a founding member of Healing Arts Haven, Inc., a new organization that uses the arts to help raise the life energy of artists and audiences.
You can read more about my NDT practice (FAQ's, client recommendations, etc.) on my website, www.energyopen.com. If you wish to make an NDT appointment, you can call my office at 718/935-1076, or email me at tarajoy@earthlink.net. The office is easily accessible by train or cab; it is the first stop out of Manhattan on the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, N, and R trains, and is very near the Brooklyn Bridge. Thank you for considering this wonderful technique!.
