At the age of 46, I was faced with several very daunting challenges that for years I felt I could handle on my own. I learned the hard way that sometimes we need help from a loving, objective, experienced and professional source to help guide us through the feelings and emotions of our darkest days. I also learned that asking for help can be a very, very hard thing to do but it is also the best thing to do. Mary Bondi was recommended to me by a close friend and my time with her was one of the single best decisions I ever made. Mary helped me to tackle my addiction issues but also helped me sift through a lot of feelings of shame, guilt, remorse and sadness over a failed relationship and other issues that were crippling me and preventing me from moving forward with my life. Mary never told me what to do, but rather walked me through my feelings and allowed me to see the direction I should take that was best for me. I cannot find the words that would most eloquently express my gratitude toward Mary and how valuable my experience with her has been. If you feel that you need help with something, don’t be afraid to ask for help. It is the best thing you can do and Mary will walk you through.
