What our clients are saying
_________________________________________________________________________________
Living in an imperfect world throughout our earthly pilgrimage, we long for paradise. We thirst for a world of love, happiness, and a sense of belonging - just to list a few - that will restrict our suffering and disappointments.
Addictions will not quench our thirst. As a psychotherapist, Mary-Ann aspires to explore, counsel, channel, and integrate new pathways toward healing and recovery. It was also during therapy that I unexpectedly came upon a quote from Chico Xavier that reads: “Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning… anyone can start over and make a new ending”. I desperately wanted to change because I needed to change. This was my reality.
Therapy with Mary-Ann, the recommended readings, and taking time for meditation and prayer, it became quite clear that my destiny is determined by the choices I make. A book brought to my attention by Mary-Ann, ‘The Discipline of a Godly Man’ by H Kent Hughes, undeniably states that without discipline, very little can be accomplished such as overcoming addictions and developing life-changing habits toward recovery. I realized that this on-going therapy was not only changing me but also my universe. Jim Carrey, Actor and Comedian, once remarked: “The effects we have on others is the most valuable currency we have”.
My healing began with one small but very significant step when I decided to pick up the phone. When I reflect back to that particular day, I believe this one small step from an individual seeking healing also contributes to the wellbeing of mankind.
Meeting with Mary-Ann was a true blessing. Thank you and God bless.
