I truly could not speak more highly about her services and how well she understood me and my life.
I have seen numerous therapists in the past and I have yet to meet someone who not only understands me (and my wife), but communicates effectively and provides constructive and actionable advice and techniques to work through my/our issues.
Marina absolutely understands the complexities brought on by my military background and my current job. I wish that Marina was a part of TCTI so that I, as well as others, can benefit from her amazing work.
Marina is seriously amazing… as someone who has seen 4 different therapists in the past and never wanted to see them again, I wish I could utilize Marina through TCTI.

It was just my best luck in a long time when you took me as a client.
My expectation was that you’d help me survive the last few months with minimal damage. I not only survived, I am happier and healthier now than I can remember. I would not have got here alone or with any therapist I’ve seen before.

It’s always difficult taking that first step in seeking help, but from the very first session with Marina I experienced an almost immediate sense of progress and empowerment as she helped me to identify, understand, and ultimately overcome problems that previously seemed insurmountable. She is a highly effective therapist, and I recommend her in the strongest of terms.[/et_pb_testimonial][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_testimonial portrait_url="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDUwMCA1MDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+CiAgICA8ZyBmaWxsPSJub25lIiBmaWxsLXJ1bGU9ImV2ZW5vZGQiPgogICAgICAgIDxwYXRoIGZpbGw9IiNFQkVCRUIiIGQ9Ik0wIDBoNTAwdjUwMEgweiIvPgogICAgICAgIDxyZWN0IGZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eT0iLjEiIGZpbGw9IiMwMDAiIHg9IjY4IiB5PSIzMDUiIHdpZHRoPSIzNjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNTY4IiByeD0iMTgyIi8+CiAgICAgICAgPGNpcmNsZSBmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk9Ii4xIiBmaWxsPSIjMDAwIiBjeD0iMjQ5IiBjeT0iMTcyIiByPSIxMDAiLz4KICAgIDwvZz4KPC9zdmc+Cg==" _builder_version="4.16" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="||0px|||" custom_css_testimonial_portrait="display: none" global_colors_info="{}"]It’s been about a year since I first visited you and sought help for my depression and anxiety.
Our sessions really helped me work through a lot of issues that were causing me such pain. I’m happy to report that a year later things are going pretty well…
Through the talk therapy I learned some useful coping mechanisms that I continue to use today. These really help to minimize the anxiety and allow me to move past it. I believe the depression to be gone.
I’ve gone off of the anti-depressants and don’t feel as sad as I did for so long. Working with you was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself.
