After 5 months of therapy with Marvin, our relationship has been progressing in the right direction. We cover intimacy, blended family, and many other struggles during our sessions. I feel like I can confidently address my concerns to my spouse and they are able to do the same. Over all our relationship between one another is less tense than it was in the past.

We have only had one session with Marvin so it was an initial get to know you session but he was helpful in getting to understand our major difficulties and providing some ideas to work on. He’s been really responsive with his messages and usually responds faster than I expect him to. I look forward to working more with him and getting more of his guidance.
