I have been in and out of therapy most of my life, in my adult years I found myself needing to cope with some unhealed issues and needing a certain perspective on things, and I can honestly say Marissa has exceeded my expectations. I’ve seen Marissa a little over a year and I truly feel that this has been the most successful year in my growth, my self esteem and all around perception. I can feel a huge change in my overall behavior and I am very grateful to have met and opened up to someone who was able to give me the tools and confidence needed to deal with the majority of things going on in my life. I am on an as needed basis now, and for the first time in a long time I feel like I can just be.

Hello, my name is Donna and I am writing this review about Tyra Gonzalez ! i'd like to start off by saying that Tyra has been my therapist for many many years and I have never seen any therapist go above and beyond the way she does !! I feel that for Tyra this is not a job. It's a mission from her heart to genuinely help people live a happier life!!! her dedication and compassion is commendable🙏🏻 I feel that she has changed my life and I know that she can change your life as well. I will be forever grateful 💕

I see Marissa. From day 1 she has been wonderful. She has amazing insightfulness when it comes to people and their problems. If you are looking for someone who really cares about their clients she is the one to make an appointment with.

I’ve been in therapy a very long time and for past couple years Tyra is my therapist. I have OCD, anxiety & depression. Tyra listens and is very thoughtful and helpful w her questions and our conversations. She has helped me inso many ways. My only negative is that Tyra is not an OCD specialist. Otherwise she is intelligent, insightful, caring at and has helped me particularly w my personal relationships. 10 Stars!! The staff, in particular Hifvsa is at the desk. She is very warm, empathetic and always helpful. Thank you Tyra

For a couple years now I have been in and out of therapy, struggling to find my path and trying to discover my identity. I've had trouble with decision making, ambivalence and just overall confidence. I've had one therapist before but they don't compare to what Dan Costello has done for me. Through his wisdom and diverse background, Dan has been able to help me gain a lot of my confidence back and has truly been an inspiration, showing me that there's a lot more importance and depth to life than I once thought. I've become more confident, spiritual and overall optimistic about my life and I highly recommend Dan Costello to anyone struggling in any way or to anyone looking to better themselves as a person. Dan has shown he's really cared and I can gladly say he's felt like more of a friend than a therapist which is something I value greatly.
