Thats why my husband and I decided to seek counseling from Makarios. Thankfully, we didn't go into counseling with any major issues, but if we would have left this small issue to continue it would have grown. I am happy to report that our time with Makarios was extremely helpful. My husband and I are closer than ever - we really feel as though we are on the same team. I strongly suggest couples counseling to all of my friends. Go into is with a clear mind and hope for positive change - it will change your life for the good! Thank you for all of your assistance and guidance, Makarios!

I gave her my thoughts and she was able to give the best advice and went beyond to recommend the best solutions. I walked out with answers and the help I needed to work on what's going on. I highly recommend this center. From the initial visit with the front desk staff to the counselor, the entire visit was worth every minute I spent there. I was able to speak on my faith and how it came into the picture with my thoughts. Already looking forward to my next visit to continue my journal on setting some goals and continued help to find solutions to the situation.

This group not only took my $100 "self pay" but also charged my credit card an additional $118 (2nd transaction) WITHOUT communication or direct authorization. When I called 24 hours later noticing two charges, they stated that the 2nd charge of the additional $118 was an insurance copay after they found and ran my insurance. WHAT??? The office manager claimed one of the 9 forms they required me to complete allowed them to charge my insurance so they refused to refund my $118 that they charged WITHOUT my authorization. I was "self paying". Do not give them your credit card! Beware this business has shady and deceitful practices!!!
