  • To the point applications

    MaryAnn shares empathetic, understanding, spot-on insights + strategies that help me manage my anxiety. Sometimes I get hung up on a diagnosis and look to understand it the best I can, not realizing that what I usually need are techniques and reframing to help handle my symptoms. Maryann does an amazing job of creating a space that does exactly that. Thank you! :)
