“My wife and I got married really young. We had our first child when we were 26 years old. It was during our daughter’s first year that I noticed changes in my wife’s behavior. She began to act very erratic, and it was scaring me. Her thoughts were irrational, her emotions were turbulent, and she was beginning to party a lot more than I was comfortable with. It was not until she left our daughter alone that I began to take action. Working with Marc, we quickly put a plan of action together, bringing the entire family into the solution. After a successful and heartfelt intervention, my wife entered treatment. Marc found an excellent program for her and two months later, my wife came home with a complete diagnosis, medication, and a sobriety program. She was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and substance abuse disorder. During that time in treatment, Marc and I began the real work. He taught me how to understand her diagnosis and live with it. He supported the entire family and also helped us understand what to expect and how to interact with the treatment center. Thanks to him, we now have a happy family and an amazing mother and wife. Without the care and education that Marc provided, I cannot imagine how our world would look. Thank you, Marc for saving our family.”

“Coming out of my treatment program with a new diagnosis was very scary. For two months I was under the care of professionals and although I understood my diagnosis, I was terrified of returning to my regular life with no guidance and support. My treatment facility suggested I hire Marc. Under his coaching, I was able to transition back to the real world with his caring guidance. We worked daily on building my “toolbox” for living. With Marc’s help, I now lead a free and joyous life. Understanding that medication compliance and “self-care” daily, allows me to feel well. Without Marc’s support I would not be here today.”

“I couldn’t get my drinking under control. Mixed with my antidepressants, my life was getting very dark. I tried Alcoholics Anonymous, but it never felt comfortable. Through friends, I heard of Marc’s services. Knowing that I was running out of options, I decided to hire him. Working with Marc, I learned to live a sober life. We worked daily to rebuild my self-esteem. I learned to live a full life without my medication. With his guidance, I began to love myself properly. Marc saved my life, a life now worth living; happy and free.”

“Marc helped me seamlessly navigate my early recovery journey and find treatment. When I was in a time of crisis, he helped me quickly assess my options and place me in a facility at the height of the pandemic when inventory was limited. He worked with my entire family to ensure we were all well informed and helped us feel at ease and empowered to make our own decisions. He shared from personal experience in his own recovery to help me understand what was possible for my own life, and gently revealed inconvenient truths about my patterns of behavior that needed to be changed. Almost a year later, my life is very different, I am still sober, and on my way to building better life.”

“Hey Marc, just wanted to share with you that yesterday I asked Henry what’s his “why” for staying sober. He told me that he does it for himself because life is so much better now that he’s sober (21 months this Friday). Thanks for giving us such a great start on this journey. Our family is stronger because of it. Wishing you and your family peace and good health.”
