“Over the decades I tried a few therapists to help me deal w/anxiety and depression. Marilyn was the first one to identify the core issues of codependency and alcoholism in my family (and the degree of negative self-talk I practiced). In short order, she plugged me into the appropriate support groups and reading material. She was my cheerleader and without requiring prolonged therapy, had me on the right track.”—- 49-year-old Business Executive

“Hi Marylin,

I wanted to write to you and give you an update on myself since it’s been a long time since I saw you. It was 4 years ago that I came to see you and at the time my life was so confusing. What confused it, even more, was the person I was with at the time John. I finally got rid of trash in my life that was making life even more miserable and confusing to me. He begged me to come back into my life and said things would be better and I never let him back in. I closed the devils door and moved on and never looked back. He had destroyed a lot of me and hurt me that I said enough was enough. I know at one point in my life I really wanted it to work out between him and I but he was the one that was a disaster and made me believe it was me. I took time and got over him and healed from all the hurt from the past and added hurt from him. After all the healing I finally got on the right path. Today 4 years later I am finally on the right path and I feel so happy; I couldn’t be happier. On October 8, 2018 I had twin baby boys. Their names are Donnie and Giovanni. I am with the father and we are now one big happy family including my son Darius whom my parents had at the time. Darius is a junior in high school and has been waiting for these two miracles to come into our life for a long time and also a father figure besides my father. I wanted to write to you to let you know how I am doing. Maybe you can share my story with your clients that there is light at the end of the tunnel. My life was so shattered that I just couldn’t seem to pick up the pieces and put them back together and now like I say I have my family and even additions to my family; something I had been wanting for years. I have enclosed a picture of me and my family. Thank you so much for all the help and support you have given me during my time of need. It has been wonderful experience raising two babies with their father and my son. I look forward to many years of happiness. Thank you again so much for everything. Sincerely,” ——Sarah
