We are truly blessed to have a successful business that we have built from the ground up. As a testament to the value we bring to the many lives we touch, we have received testimonials from many of our wonderful colleagues. We thank you all!

I have collaborated with Dawn and Renee at Self Expressions for over 15 years and with Nancy for the past 2 years. I know them to be caring, professional and extremely capable therapists who are accomplished in several modalities. I recommend them and refer clients to them without reservation. You are in good hands.

I have referred several of my patients to Self Expressions. Renee, Dawn and Nancy are all very caring, compassionate and knowledgable therapists and have helped my patients tremendously. They are easy to collaborate with which leads to more integrative care and better outcomes for our patients. I highly recommend all the therapists at Self Expressions.

It is our pleasure to speak about Renee and Dawn. These remarkable therapists have, for many years, served as senior coaches-therapists at The Getting The Love You Want Workshops for Couples. In that capacity, they consistently help couples achieve breakthroughs in their lives, helping them shift out of hurt, frustration, grief and uncertainty to a clearer, more connected way of relating. It often feels as if we have found in them the Kobe Bryant and Michael Phelps of psychotherapy.

I am a family practice physician who has referred numerous patients to Self Expressions for counseling. The feedback I receive from my patients is always extremely positive; the therapy they receive from Dawn Marple-Gise and Renee Morgan is exceptional and invaluable. I never hesitate to recommend Self Expressions to anyone seeking counseling services.

It has been my pleasure to be associated with Renee Morgan and Dawn Marple-Gise of Self Expressions from the inception of their practice in the 1990’s. As an oncologist with patients in crisis, Self Expressions has always been available to help me and to help my patients. Whenever I refer a patient to Self Expressions, the patient always returns with positive reports about the quality of their visits and efficiency of the practice. Throughout the years, my patients have given the practice rave reviews and thank me for referring them for care. I feel I can recommend the practice without reservations for anyone with counseling needs. Ms. Morgan and Ms. Marple-Gise are always my first choice of referral for my patients in need.

In Family Practice, one is faced with many mental, as well as physical patient problems. My colleagues and I strongly believe that anxiety and depression need to be addressed, not only by a primary care provider (visits and sometimes medications), but also by a therapist or psychiatrist. For nearly 10 years, I have referred numerous patients to Self Expressions - Renee Morgan and Dawn Marple-Gise. These two highly professional and approachable women have delivered superb psychological treatment for my patients. Their approach has succeeded in improving the quality of patients’ lives and has taught them skills to make for happier and more stable lives. When my patients follow up with me after sessions with Renee or Dawn, I see differences in their affect, mannerism and mood. There has never been a problem that I thought that this practice could not handle. They are diligent in following up with me (if the patient permits) and are very familiar with the area’s psychiatrists and institutions, if a referral is necessary. I so very much admire and believe in these capable therapists – it’s a pleasure to throw praise their way
