"I began therapy with Marjorie in the middle of the semester and had only five sessions but we accomplished so much. Marjorie taught me to make the connection between my mind and my body to find the answers I was searching for. She pushed me in a positive way to go beyond my comfort zone. I came to therapy totally conflicted: I had so much guilt and conflict related to what others wanted for me. I came away knowing what I really wanted and able to make it happen.” -Student, Smith College

“My sessions with Marjorie Oberman were crucial in making my semester here a success. When I arrived in France, I was having frequent panic attacks, was worried my host family did not like me, and was too self-conscious and afraid to speak French and to try new things. Marjorie gave me unique "assignments" that allowed us to pinpoint what was triggering my panic attacks, and soon they became less frequent. Marjorie talked me through some of the problems I had with my host family and pointed out cultural differences where I had only seen conflicts. She helped me make lists of simple phrases and actions that I could rely on when I was experiencing social anxiety in the city or in the classroom. Therapy with Marjorie got me out of my room and into Paris.” -Student, University of Minnesota

“I came to Marjorie to deal with the stresses of Paris and ended up on an amazing emotional journey that will forever impact my life. Living in another country, especially France, opens up a pandora’s box of emotional triggers. Marjorie gave me the space and support to use the pressures of life in a foreign country to explore the deeper meaning of my whole life, in Paris and at home. Personal struggles can be so much more immediate when studying and living abroad. There is nothing like culture shock to make one re-examine all the emotional baggage one has toted across the ocean. I think what Marjorie provides is invaluable. I am truly grateful for the amazing personal growth I experienced from my sessions with Marjorie. Having someone as wonderful, warm and incredibly talented as Marjorie here for support was an amazing asset and opportunity.” -Student, Humboldt State University

“I only had a few sessions with Marjorie, but her work was so effective that in just a short amount of time I felt real changes in my life. I came to Marjorie feeling down, wondering if I was depressed, and frustrated with the battle I was losing against binge eating, against my weight. Marjorie helped me find what was weighing on me, and helped me on to the path to free myself of it. We worked on my body issues, and I feel like I am more at peace with where I am. Most importantly, I now have tools to deal with whatever comes my way. I am standing on my own two feet, and I feel lighter.” -Student, City University of New York
