Mary Jo makes going to therapy not only a learning experience for one's self, as a family or couple, but the therapy sessions come so natural. Therapy with Mary Jo is like speaking with a friend that you have known for years. The staff truly cares about all their clients and it shows--not only with the therapy sessions, but something as simply as making an appointment for a client. First class service all the way! The staff understands the sensitivity of their clients and that's what makes it so easy to walk through that door. I highly recommend Central Coast Counseling Center for therapy. The best counseling services in Santa Maria area!

I am so grateful to Erin. She helped me get past an emotional block with which I have struggled…read morewith my whole life. I'd discussed this problem many times, over the years, with other therapists and, of course, with friends who had tried to give me well-meaning but ultimately useless advice. I needed someone experienced who could use effective tools to help me discover my unhealed wounds and finally heal them for good. I never realized how many scarred events in my past caused me to self-sabotage my chances of being happy in the future! She uncovered memories I had suppressed. She worked through them with me and never was impatient or upset if I had a hard time getting myself to relax. I'm amazed at the insight and breakthrough that I have gotten from working with Erin. I feel an incredible sense of relief. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am eternally grateful to Erin for this. I have a new understanding of how I can move forward in life in a much more effective way. I feel empowered in a way which I never have around this issue. It is truly incredible for me to be able to move past this. Each session we had together got me one step closer to victory over this area of my life. Even after we'd come to a resolution (took about 3 months), she offered me a reasonable package where I can come in to check in with her every month to make sure things in my life were running smoothly. I always look forward to these monthly check-in's and it truly shows that Erin is here to help me achieve in every area of my life. I'm more than just a Client, I am a friend she actually cares about, which is often so rare to find within a life coach in this industry. I highly recommend Erin for anyone who feels helpless and lost in a certain painful area of their lives. Seriously, life is too short to continue living this way. Working with Erin has changed my life and I am so thankful our paths crossed. Thanks again Erin! You're the best!

I had four children to care for, and was not prepared to support them alone without a college education. Dr. Purdy was understanding and respectfully gave me the gentle nudge I needed to move forward! Using all of my resolve, I left my husband and worked multiple lower level jobs, until I was able to pursue a college education. I sacrificed and persisted, largely because Dr. Purdy valued me and absolutely believed I would accomplish great things. I earned my PhD from Washington State University and am currently a Professor at a small private liberal arts college. It is impossible for me to relate how much I respect, admire, and always am so grateful for Dr. Purdy! In so many ways, she saved my life. Thank you many times over, Dr. Purdy!!!
