Mary is an enigma. As a domestic violence group leader she extols her lofty personal goal of ridding the world of violence, yet what she seems to believe is that it is only the men who must be civilized, while women may be allowed wide latitude in terms of their behavior: baiting, taunting,and antagonizing men is permissible for women, who are small and defenseless, and responsibility of maintaining domestic tranquility is on the men, because men are big and violent. If you don t believe me then ask her to relate her story about how she provoked a cop to near violence in a bar one night, as an arrogant experiment in this regard... and ask her about her own conclusions with respect to that incident. It was her telling of this tale that initially soured me, & soon afterward, as an apostate, I was asked to leave the group. Other issues were that they promoted agenda-driven conclusions which we were expected to embrace, because even politely challenging them was heresy-- for which you would be scolded in front of the group as your words got tortured... I was not in her group for domestic violence issues, by the way, so in that regard I had a unique vantage. That includes being able to appreciate the irony of having her co-leader and husband Larry hit me in the back of the head with the door as I was leaving that night, since several of the violent offenders in there were there for less. Finally, in the wake of that event, I believe that Mary caused trouble for me in my workplace, in an effort to drive me out of town. With her having apparently succeeded at that, I was devastated: really psychologically damaged, for a long time. Nice work for a mental health practitioner, huh? March 2017: I see that someone else's review reflects a bad experience with Mary & Larry, and agreed that they dared not be disagreed with. That review led me to expand this review. read more

I have been in constant therapy the majority of my life..an array of therapists. White knuckles and all. I would not trade it for the world. When Mary's therapy came into my life is when I truly accepted that I am a survivor who is worthy to thrive. Stop, breath,and focus has been a life saver for me. I believe everything happens at the right time for the right reason and perhaps the previous therapy was to prepare me for what truelly works for me. Mary is true and authentic. The experience she has is uncompareable in my book. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be involved With Mary. I highly recommend to all. read more

Unfortunately, if you live in the Denver area, these two are likely your only option. They benefit greatly from the monopoly - it allows them to charge whatever they want, to mostly ignore what their 'students' have to say, and to antagonize anyone who questions their methods and authority. If you challenge them in any way, they will claim you have become threatening and have you transferred to a "Moral Reconation" course where you are made to talk about what an awful person you supposedly are. I'd advise avoiding them at all costs, but like I said, they are the only option in the area. Too bad. read more

This woman is a feminist.. she has no understanding of any issues actually facing men today. You'll just sit there for an hour and be told about how much of an abuser you are. I made the mistake of calling the police for help and ended up with this cunt. She has a great little scam setup, 40 bucks a week to sit there and be told about how much of an abuser you are. She doesn't actually have anytning useful in her classes. It's just about how bad and abusive men are. She wont even entertain anytning negative about women.. Women like this are the problem. read more
