"Marla has had a HUGE positive impact on my life. I'm currently 32 years old and first saw Marla when I was 16. Marla made me very comfortable as a high schooler struggling with anxiety and broader mental health issues, normalized therapy and ultimately help set me on the path to a happy life I have today. Marla was a fantastic first therapist to see that made me feel comfortable with the process. I've seen her and other therapists since (given I moved out of metro Detroit) - and still use Marla as my gold standard for whether I'll work well with a therapist."
