COMMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Don't wait for your marriage to reach a breaking point to seek the counseling of Jill and Darin.  I wish that we hadn't.  If I had known all that we could discover about ourselves, each other, and any relationship in life, I would have sought them out long ago, even when I felt that our marriage was problem free.  Jill and Darin have no magic formula that makes things right; rather, with genuine compassion and caring, they encourage you to embrace the good and enlighten you to the tools that you have right there within you. They teach you how to re-think conventional beliefs and recognize the potential that we all have to realize a joyful, fulfulling and enriching life.  Nobody is given a user's guide to life, much less marriage, and I believe with all my heart that every person seeking personal growth would benefit from the guidance of Jill and Darin.

I have been seeing Jill for a little less than a year now and I have so appreciated her guidance.  Darin has also coached me along in areas very specific to a new direction in my career.  They have helped me understand how to take an active hand in improving my life and I'm grateful to both of them- with their help, I am now on the verge of opening my own business that I have dreamed about for years!

Jill MacDonald was referred to me by my trusted physician at a point in my life when I knew I couldn’t go on living the existence I had been.  From the minute I heard Jill’s voice on the phone, she was warm, open and inviting.  Nothing has changed since then.  I consider Jill to be the best gift that has come into my life in the last ten years.  It’s true that I was ready to change my life, ready to embrace an outlook beyond the conventional and ready to be open-minded.  But I never expected to meet someone who is so incredibly insightful, so truly caring and such a joy!  Within the first 2 weeks that I began to see Jill, my attitude about my life turned from that of hopelessness to one of endless opportunities.  If you think all of this sounds too good to be true, the answer is that it’s only too good to be true if that’s what you believe!  That’s what I’ve learned from Jill, along with so much more.  AND I have so much more to learn from her and to share with her.  As of the time I am writing this, I have not been able to make my weekly appointments in 2 weeks because of business travel.  All I can say is that I can’t wait for my next appointment – not because my life has fallen apart in that time but because I simply can’t wait to share all that has happened with Jill and to figure out those things I either don’t quite have the answers to or that I know the answers to but don’t want to admit.  And really, I just want to see her smiling face, to feel her warmth and to know that I am loved just for who I am.  THANK YOU, JILL.

If you are wondering . . . should I take this step?  The answer is definitely yes!

I can honestly say that I've finally found someone that understood what I was searching for, and picked up on my strengths and weaknesses instantly.  Jill has helped me to find the inner peace I've been missing in my life. Her non-clinical techniques are the foundation of her success with me.  Although, I also realize, that it is because of her knowledge, and keen intuition that I was able to seamlessly transition myself into a better person.  I remember leaving her office the first day thinking - I've finally found the person to help me take that leap of faith.  And that she did!

To you Jill, 
I would like to thank you for your certainty -- of knowing I had it in me to walk the walk. It is your humbling ways that helped me to find it.  It is also your “out of the box” process has helped me in so many ways. I feel blessed to know you. Thank You.

I just had such a major break through thanks to all your wonderful input, Jill.  In a nutshell - through your clean, straight forward approach - I was able to grasp the essence of the last 25 years - and made a major decision to not be a victim any longer.  Through your help I was able to identify what I suffered from - and then take the necessary steps to move forward in my life. Before meeting you, I did not have the tools to even know that I saw myself as a victim - let alone how to stop this form of behavior. Your kind gentle caring nature combined with your expert communication skills has given me back my life . . . I can't thank you enough!! 
Thank you for everything you have done for my family and me. And please, use my name any time . . . without your help I would still be in a great big fog!

Going to see Jill was one of the best decisions I've made. She is such an insightful, wonderful person. She gave me the tools I needed to better my communication and make the changes I needed to improve my life. I have much gratitude and respect for her.
