Mother of an adolescent:
"I am a parent of a teenager. The little beautiful happy and outgoing child in a blink of an eye became severely anxious and depressed son. He stayed in his room and wore the same clothes everyday. We were blessed to find Marcia. My son refused to go to therapy; but after just one session with Marcia, he agreed to participate. Marcia is gradually bringing that beautiful son we have back out to the light! Marcia Fontes is an intelligent, compassionate, diligent and honest Therapist. Marcia has bridged the gap between us and our son. As an immigrant, we come with expectations and our own biases as to how our children should or ought to behave. Marcia has also taught me how to communicate with my American child! It is not a quick or easy journey but a necessary one. We all have an Angel who comes to our lives in time of need. Marcia Fontes has been ours and will also be yours!"
A pediatrician who referrals clients and works collaboratively:
"Marcia is truly a gifted psychotherapist. Using a combination of intellectual skill and deep understanding of human nature, Marcia forges authentic therapeutic connections with her patients through which she helps them gain better clarity and understanding of themselves and move past issues that block them."
