I have been in long term counseling with Mari Craig for a number of years. I found her by referral…read morefrom the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) of the U.S. Postal Service and I initially sought her help with job stress and depression. What I like most about her sessions is her wholly supportive attitude towards the life decisions I've made that are mentally healthy for me while gently encouraging me to make beneficial behavioral, attitudinal, and relationship changes if needed. Her treatment process is very planful and well organized, and uses suggestions for methods of relaxation, exercise, and ways to gain insight and appreciation for positive thinking. She has authored a book which serves as a very useful supplement to her treatment process. I want to stress that I have a degree in Psychology and a background of 7 years as Counseling Supervisor in residential treatment centers for emotionally disturbed children and teenagers so I have a thorough understanding of how useful it is to seek professional help when having difficulty coping with life's challenges either personal, behavioral, or employment. Ms. Craig's counseling techniques are very creative and goal oriented and my overall experience with her sessions has been very positive and useful.

As a writer, I should be able to testify to Raz Mason's gifts easily. And yet I find myself…read moresearching for ways to describe her supportive, insightful, gentle ability to lead me out of myself into full consciousness of who I am and what I want to be. Sometimes I wonder if she is somehow tuned in to parts of my subconscious mind that I have tuned out. She often makes a quiet suggestion or rephrases something I've said about myself in terms so positive I have to think, "Yes, she's right. That's really me. I don't have to apologize for me!" I love it when she gives me a homework assignment because it always involves doing something good and positive for myself. You would think that having lived two-thirds of my life already, I would be in the habit of doing this all the time. But I'm not. Thanks to Raz, I'm getting in the habit of it. Often she comments on how animated my eyes and face have become when I start talking about something I love more than I knew I loved, and I think, "That's right! I love that! Why am I not allowing myself to pursue it?" In just the few months I have been working with Raz, I have experienced great inner change. Good things are flowing my way--people, opportunities, challenges, achievements--that I never would have imagined. I wake up eager to consume the goodness of my day. Thank you, Raz.

Even though Raz and I come from two different cultural backgrounds (I am both Arab and Muslim), I…read morehave never once felt that she was judging me or my values. Raz is extremely comfortable to speak with and is very mindful as she directs our conversations and has something to bring to my attention. When I first spoke to Raz, there was a sense of calm about her where I knew immediately that I wanted to take a chance and do these sessions with her (knowing very well that I am a very private person and I do not trust easily). There was something about her; her tone and her sensitivity made me take to her very quickly and allowed me to let my guard down faster than I imagined. When deciding how these sessions work, Raz gave me her offers regarding the number of sessions, and she said that it is probably around the tenth session that one starts to sense a change in themselves. I am so glad that I trusted her judgement and took a leap of faith, because it was probably around my eleventh session with her that I started to have certain epiphanies about myself that still had not occurred to me around our fifth or sixth session. I began to feel positive and happy after every one of our talks, and it was then that I realized that she and I were meant to meet, and she was meant to be part of my empowered journey in this thing called life. Not only is Raz sensitive to her client's situations, she is intuitive and seems to have a lot of experience in her line of work. Even though she is mindful, it does not stop her from speaking up and suggesting what she believes will be helpful to me. She is passionate about her work, and most importantly, I feel that Raz genuinely wants me to be the best version of myself and to succeed. When I throw a curve ball her way she is always present. She offers me extra readings where she knows I will benefit, and I cannot thank her enough. Raz has given me very practical tools to help me in my day to day struggles, and some of the things we have spoken about have been so enlightening that that they have changed aspects in my life I assumed were set in stone. Without these sessions with Raz, there are certain things I would not have thought of and probably still would have viewed as being one-dimensional. This testimonial is my thank you to her for the support she has given me as well as an invitation to anyone who is looking to better themselves or parts of themselves they thought were resistant to change. If you are looking to transform the course of your life even in the smallest ways, Raz is the person to take this journey with. Her positive attitude and energy is infectious, but you have to be an honest, willing, and dedicated participant. RA, Middle East

After working with Dr. Gwen, we noticed a marked improvement in his ability to tolerate grooming sessions. He no longer runs and hides when we turn on the vacuum cleaner or the blender.

Before my sessions, I struggled for most of my life with depression and anger issues. My kids, 4…read moreand 17, who also had sessions, struggled with resentment, anger, hyperactivity, clinginess, and shyness.  My first session was emotional as it brought up many traumatic experiences and feelings I had buried. The day after my session I noticed an immediate change- during the night I had vivid dreams and upon waking up I felt lighter. The emotions I felt towards those memories weren't there anymore, like a void, but a great void. My anger issue changed immediately, I noticed I dealt with confrontation in a completely different manner than before. A very specific experience was when "shame" was covered during a session. 16 emotions were released tied to "shame"- SIXTEEEN!! Imagine thinking I feel one particular way and finding out there were so many other emotions tied to that one feeling! No wonder we feel confused sometimes! I found this so interesting because I would not have acknowledged that I was traumatically holding on to shame. But my subconscious made it known. This session covered so many traumatic experiences I have for years brushed under the rug and talked myself through if triggered. I can honestly say I had one last cry and goodbye to how those experiences affected me. It felt as if I gave myself and my feelings validation. I gave myself permission to never feel that hurt again. It felt healing. My son, 17 dealt with resentment towards his sister being born. It had been concerning for me at times the way he would react towards her. Within a few days of his session, I noticed he was more attentive and caring towards his sister and his results continue to grow. This is how I have always wanted their relationship to be. Not with competition, but acknowledgement and loving interaction with each other. My daughter, 4, does not have as many tantrums when she does get beside herself. We have implemented a way she can calm down and we are able to honestly speak, with her sharing her feelings. Our days are more balanced to where she can spend alone time, instead of needing my attention constantly throughout the day. Which drained me and honestly created an imbalance as an individual, mother, and sole provider. I look at her in a different beautiful light. It has been a few weeks since my last session and I can honestly see a huge transition in my relationship with and between my children, with others, and most importantly, with myself. Through the sessions and Dr. Gwen's guidance, I have become more aware of when I feel an emotion and what the real trigger under THAT actual emotion is. I now address it in a healthier way. I've been given a hands-on experience of what "letting go" or "releasing" is and what that can look like for me as I continue to walk through life. It's been so empowering to understand what kept me from seeing my true value as a person, mother, woman; and not knowing how to see that in myself, and for others to see that value in me as well. These emotional releases have given me a greater insight into myself. The services, communication are worth the price and knowing I'll continue to grow from our sessions; I'll will be forever grateful to Dr. Gwen.
