Mary is a wonderful therapist. I only would rate her a nine because I have suffered long term severe trauma that I believe merit a ptsd or trauma specialist or expert. I’m unfortunately due to losing everything has me financially disadvantaged for the first time in my life. Mar is professional, compassionate, non judgmental, empathetic. Nothing within her control I have trauma that is extremely complex and I need services frankly I cannot afford. But Mary, she represents your company extremely well.
