I've been working with Michael Alter for over a year, first intensively, then gradually shifting to once a month. I began treatment due to an out-of-control family member whose behaviors had worn me down into a state of anxiety and depression. Mr. Alter has a remarkable array of methods, skills and tools available to his patients. He is very astute at suggesting and applying them in beneficial ways according to particular circumstances. My experience with Dynamic Energetic Healing, as well as other methods Mr. Alter has used, has been strengthening, empowering and even illuminating. One aspect of DEH that impressed me in particular was the accuracy of muscle testing. I am no longer anxious or depressed, even though my family situation is still not entirely stable. I respect and appreciate that throughout my time working with Michael, he has consistently involved me in treatment choices. I imagine that with his ability to understand a wide variety of life experiences, and also the different ways that people exist and manifest their lives, Michael could offer most patients the particular tool they need, whether it be DEH or something else. I would without reservation recommend the treatment methods Mr. Alter offers, especially to those who wish to go deeper into themselves than may be possible with standard psychology approaches.

I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Michael Alter. Dynamic Energetic Healing changed my life. It helped me focus my energy and inner self into positive intentions. As I began to focus on my intention rather than my problems
I noticed my life changing. I was able to draw positive energy into my life and minimize the amount of energy put into negative things. Thank you, Michael!

Lesley Alter, LCSW

"I came to Lesley with a very sad demeanor-a heavy heart-and feeling quite hopeless. After just one session I was much happier and lighter and after the second session I was back into being light-hearted, happy, hopeful, positive and able to move forward in my goals again. This energy work moves quickly in clearing the psyche! I highly recommend at least two sessions with Lesley to alleviate that feeling of "being stuck and not knowing how to get free"! It worked for me."

“I have to admit I was skeptical about all this, especially after the first session. That being said, I have been in and out of counseling since I was sixteen and I have never had this rapid of result. It truly is amazing. I noticed people’s responses/perceptions of me changing as I began to feel better. I would recommend this to people who need to make quick changes, especially those who have already done “traditional” work, and have returned.”

“I was skeptical as anyone could be when Lesley suggested using “energy work” during my sessions. Seven months later, I am a much more content person who is enjoying life for the first time in a long while. And my only explanation for what’s taken place is the work I’ve done with Lesley. After doing the energy work, my occasional session of “traditional” psychology, sitting there and venting about life seem aimless and fruitless. I would encourage anyone who’s struggling with life to give Lesley’s methods a try. Plus, she’s just a really cool, down-to-earth person.”

“My experience with energy work through Lesley’s sessions has been very positive. Although I don’t completely understand the concepts, the results are noticeable. I feel that using this technique bypassed a lot of my mental chatter and got to the core of certain challenges that I was experiencing. I am reaping the benefits of being open-minded enough to try something different and beyond my capacity to grasp completely. I would recommend this to anyone willing to give it a shot.”

“The following is my assessment of “Emotional Freedom Technique”: My PTSD began when I was a child about 5 or 7. I suffered many traumatizing events during the following 68 years. Life was black in my mind. I had but a small awareness of life about me. For years, I had been to mental health workers to no avail. Then I met Lesley Alter, LCSW. After several months, she said she was excited about a new technique for healing. I began the “Emotional Freedom Techniques” under her care. One by one the built-up hatred, anger, self-destructive, guilt of past traumas etc. would heal. I was in awe, as subsequent sessions would heal the emotionally traumatized events. One by one the healing continued. In all my life I have never experienced life as stemming from within. Instead I was reacting to my traumas and the problems they generated. Therapy became a healing from within and about me. Now I feel the unbelievable. As I fondly referred to this process, “this stuff is unbelievable.”

“The energy work I did with Lesley gave me control I didn’t know I had. I have very clear emotional boundaries with my family I never had. Before the work I was like a lake waiting for a stone to be thrown and have the uncontrollable emotional waves to weather. With my boundaries the tides have changed and I stop them at the source.”

“Thank you for meeting with me recently to teach me energy techniques to help me more effectively handle the anxiety related to my impending surgery. The tapping technique you chose to help me was extremely effective. I used the technique while conjuring up the anxiety filled images in my mind. As I tapped, the images slowly faded to white. Now, several weeks later, I can hardly visualize the negative images, instead I continue to see only white. The fear and anxiety related to those images is no longer a part of me because the images themselves no longer have a hold. The effect of this tapping technique is so dramatic that it is almost impossible to believe. Because of you and your expertise, I can now enter into this very stressful period in my life with a sense of peace. I can’t thank you enough for your help.”

Rena Fox

“My experience with Lesley’s Energy Psychology was positive. I never knew we carried so much energy and how it truly effects us. The techniques that Lesley used were extremely helpful in ways I couldn’t have imagined. The emotions I felt helped me deal with the issues at hand. Understanding the high and low levels of energy made me see what was happening in this positive experience. By allowing myself to fully open up to this kind of therapy, helped me overcome what I was dealing with. It was also nice not to have to just talk, that there were other alternatives that can help. This was a good experience-glad I was open to it.”
