Mary Kay was amazing. We had been to a couple other therapists before her, but she was the first one with whom we  truly connected. She showed us how to communicate in a non-threatening and calm way using IMAGO techniques such as "mirroring." Mary Kay really got us to the root of our issues and helped us to solve them in a healthy and positive manner. Throughout our sessions with her,  we laughed, we cried, but most of all we learned about ourselves and each other. As a result, we are a happier couple today. Thank you Mary Kay!

Without Mary Kay, the complex dynamics of our family would have overwhelmed us all. Adoption, mental health issues, step parenting, and adolescence all had to be treated in turn, while recognizing the constant evolution of the individuals and the interplay among the issues. Mary Kay has been the vessel of refuge that has allowed us to achieve the twin goals of maintaining a family and a marriage.

Ms. Cocharo is a caring listener who offers support, coaching and concrete steps for overcoming emotional blocks. Highly recommended.

After breaking off our engagement, we decided to look for help with our communication skills. Mary Kay gave us the tools to communicate better with each other, which is so important in a relationship. And now we were just married in January 2008.

Mary Kay Cocharo is a rare combination of smart, intuitive and conscious. She just "gets it" - whatever my issue, whatever my situation - she's always able to see it from many different angles (most of which I never thought of) and she never fails to give me great advice and/or feedback within a safe environment that she creates. I highly recommend Mary Kay. Whether it's BIG issues or just a need to bounce a few things off her, Mary Kay never fails me. I always walk out of her office with new insights and good feelings.

I have experienced Mary Kay Cocharo as a warm, compassionate and action inspiring therapist. She is a careful and analytical listener who was able to help me in a short period of time to recognize some of my roadblocks clearly. The tools, support and encouragement I received from her have helped me tremendously in mending a difficult family relationship.
