I met Rosemary over the summer of 2016; the summer I knew I would eventually be getting a divorce…read more I was completely lost, unsure, scared, and among other things, very insecure. However, I knew from the moment I left my first appointment that everything would be ok - Rosemary provided me with a sense of comfort I didn't get anywhere else. She gave me the strength to take steps I never thought I could, and worked with me when I was hesitant to jump. In a way, Rosemary held my hand through the entire process. Checking in with me between visits, celebrating my successes, and not judging me when I failed. She is patient, caring, supportive, and someone I very much look up to and trust. I am proud to say that because of her I am living my absolute best life. That's not to say people never have bad days, however she has taught me valuable lessons on coping with anxiety and since then I no longer need any medications. If I could give her 1000 stars I would, as this woman has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. I truly believe people are put into your life at the right time and I am so thankful that it was her. I will forever value our relationship and consider her my friend. If you want to live your best life and don't know where to start, you need to call her.

I met Rosemary, January 2017 and it was the best decision I have ever made…read more I wasn't happy, even thou I had a great husband, healthy 2 year old boy and a successful career. It wasn't just " not being happy", I had lost my confidence and my self worth. In the last 5 years a had lost my mom of a massive heart attack, my husband survived an intense brain surgery, a miscarriage and on my second cycle of anti depressants. You can add post partum depression as well. A lot for anyone to handle and to much of a burden to put on someone else's shoulder. I had gained weight that I had lost before my pregnancy and was on track of obesity, again. Something I had been battling since my teenage years. My emotions were all over the place. I felt guilt and shame over my blessed life. My poor husband and friends couldn't even support me because I wasn't approachable and my leadership skills at work were suffering. Rosemary was the person that opened my mind to the reality that my "thoughts " were just that. Passing thoughts. She introduced cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and meditation. She is very emotionally intelligent and within just a few sessions she made me realized that my low self esteem was the root of my rattling thoughts and disease to please. I was committed to our sessions and followed her suggestions and read her recommendations. I am proud to say that Rosemary has supported me thru this journey of Loving Myself. I am Living my Best Life. My emotions are balanced and I know how to have Compassion for myself on the days that they might not be. This too shall pass and before you know it being mindful of my emotions let's me overcome any negative emotions and thoughts. I am proud to say that I have overcome my weight issues. Not because I lost weight, because Rosemary supported my changing mindset about food and the influence it had emotionally and physically. My husband and I's relationship is better then ever. I can support him emotionally while staying mindful of his needs and mine. I am able to be present for my son and enjoy being with him. That was not the case before. I will forever be grateful for Rosemary. She has opened my mind to love myself and that I am enough and it shines thru to everyone I encounter. She is my favorite conversation to have monthly. Thank you Rosemary

I've been having issues with Optum RX getting my shot to my provider on time, and Lauren has done everything possible to ensure that she has my shot well in advance. Plus, every time I see her, we pick up right where we left off. With the previous group, each time was like I was a new patient. With Lauren, you can tell she really cares about you and knows her patients like she knows her own family. The fact that I don't have to remember where I got my shot the last time is an added bonus rarely found with any physician. Now, on to their front desk people. They're like a mini welcoming committee. They're friendly and sociable and they make coming in to the office each time much more pleasant than I could have ever expected. Kudos to the entire group from top to bottom! I highly recommend them to anyone starting, continuing or coming back to their recovery journey.

I called ahead to make sure the shop was open, and that I wouldn't be interrupting an appointment and was told by the owner Sienna to come down and she'd help me with the gift. The shop is beautiful from bottom to top. Lots of plants and you immediately feel welcome. Metaphysical practices, reiki, stones, readings, these are all interesting things to me but by no means something I have a knowledge of. Sienna was incredible accommodating and helpful putting together a perfect group of stones and crystals for my wife's friend and even throwing in some free incense and other items. All of this is great, but it was what happened at checking out that really made me want to write a review and hope it helps her business, especially since I don't really use yelp much anymore, I'd rather only write positive reviews for great experiences than anything else. At checkout I noticed a plant I used to have. Sort of a creeping vine leafed plant. My toddler poured a ton of juice in it and unfortunately it died. Without even saying anything else after identifying it for me which I have already unfortunately forgot, but I'll make a point to look it up through a photo later, she cut a clipping and gifted it to me in a small glass with water completely free of charge. This was a small gesture, but it meant a lot. The plant that I previously had that died was my mothers, who was killed 6 years ago now. So even though she was unaware of that, the gesture was very meaningful to me. If I ever need anything from this shop, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here, or refer a friend in need. An amazing place.

I would recommend Chana Mark as an excellent therapist. I had just gotten divorced and I was reeling. I have three small children and I knew that I was not able to ge there for them the way they needed me. Then a friend suggested that I call Chana. The first thing I noticed about Chana is that she is very kind. I felt comfortable right away. It took time, but finally I was able to get more clarity about my situation. I learned a lot about what had happened to me and I also learned a lot about myself. Eventually I was able to "put my house in order" and move forward. Chana says that therapy is really a place to think, and with her, it was. I now know how to think about my life in order to move forward. read more

Chana Mark uses verbal and emotional abuse to crush her clients, make them dependent upon her, leaving them shattered and feeling shamed and worthless. She then cons them into thinking she is the only one that can help them. This has been my experience with her, and another client of hers shared the same experience. read more

She thinks outside the box, she engages, she recommends, she listens, and she cares. I see a poor review on here.

I can't imagine how it could have happened, though, so I'm scratching my head a bit. Pauline is very professional. Anyway, I highly recommend her, especially if you have a real sticky or unusual problem, or you feel you are "different" in some way. Pauline is an intelligent, creative, problem-solver.

More than once she has spent her own time getting recommendations for me for family members who needed help. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to refer someone to her. She is worth every penny I have spent because she helped me realize what I need in my life to be a happier and healthier person all around.

She's incredibly knowledgeable, so caring, and she's not one of those therapists who takes advantage of you.

My hubby had to fix a few instances between us bumping heads, but he takes responsibility that you are his patient. He does not do any modern testing at his office nor suggests it unless you ask and he will write a script. In his own words he "works for God". He certainly does. He will help anyone with pain as long as you prove there is a reason to. Honestly, I love him. At first, it was difficult because I'm very aggressive, but I learned his nature and how to work with him. Today, I tell him everything. I can cry, be sincere, laugh or debate. He's genuinely sent from above and I'm very fortunate I met him. Be calm and honest. May take a few attempts to get him to listen fully, but he is not about money. Many prescribe to make money including very invasive surgeries like an opioid pump. He will NOT do that. He will keep you alive and do his best to save your other organs such as your liver while trying to treat your pain. Be patient with him and you will thank above for him being in your life. I know I am grateful.
