Sarah an dall, I am not coming from a spirit of devisiveness here, but Sarah you are not the only one who feels this way and has had some interesting experiences with Mark. He has gotten a lot better over the years, but there are some dissatisfied clients. I do not believe that Mark would see or treat you as hopeless, beyond help, but this is something i have heard about. My recommendation is speaking with Tricia about it now or at some other point, i leave this to your discretion, and sharing your concerns with her. I can almost guarantee that you will not be the first to do so. I wish you luck with whatever counselor you get and hope that it is someone loving and heart-centered to make you feel good, supported and heard, and on the road to accomplishing your dreams.

Barbara was a truly wonderful person. Endowed with great compassion and strength she worked tirelessly on behalf of her friends and clients. She was always a pleasure to work with. We will miss her dearly. For those who are concerned as to where to go for services they need, I spoke with Tricia Leetz this week and she has divided Barbara's caseload into three temporary groups to be overseen by different counselors: A - G Debbie Leung H - P Melissa Harris Q - Z Mark Pighin You are welcome to call our office with any questions or concerns, we will do our best to help you.
