"Of all the mediocre, and less than mediocre, therapists I've seen, and I'm not patronizing you, Marshall, you're the best therapist I've ever had." -- W.K.

"I've been in counseling several times before.  This is the first time I feel there're changes taking place.  Before I felt like I was just putting band-aids on.  Life is 100% better that it was 3 months ago.  Being alone is okay again.  When you first told me about this process, I thought you were nuts.  Now I find myself having a lot more peace.  Thank you, Marshall"  --  H.P.
