Testimonials about Dr. Marks and The Positive Plan
"What was different about working with Michelle was that she helped me figure out what I would do to lose weight rather than what I should do. I lost over 60 pounds, and I'm happier and more active than ever." J.C.
".... Your tremendous energy made me want to continue. I knew you were genuinely happy for my success and I felt like I had someone just for me. Plus, you're a real person and you know what you're talking about. Thanks." L.C.
".... One of the greatest gifts that I have received in life is the gift of self-knowledge. Dr. Marks helped guide me toward that knowledge. Her commitment to the field of Positive Psychology can help to change lives. I know, because it helped me to change mine." E.G.
".... I'm so encouraged by my progress that I'm now ready to look at some really tough self-care challenges. I never thought that I'd get to these issues so quickly. I'm very grateful to Michelle and look forward to continuing down our positive path together." M.C.
"I have been wanting to let you know that you are still guiding me. You listen with love and sensitivity, balanced by clear insight, and judgment. You truly listened to me and helped me discover my own truths. You offered guidance as well as practical actions. I have "weathered a few storms" since our last meeting. And I have emerged feeling better about myself and my decisions. And I thank you." G.S.
