Dr. Torok is the absolute best. She actually listens, is straight forward, and tailors each session to my needs and helps guide me to be a better person tomorrow than I was today. Shes always responsive and glad to see me if I cannot do therapy for a while. Thanks to her, I have actually been able to put coping skills to work MONTHS later without issue. She's real.

Written on Sep 18, 2022 after therapy with Mary for 4 months

When I first started seeing Dr. Mary I was I was a mess and in a very dark place. I will never forget how on my first day of therapy Dr. Mary said "I can help you", but I was skeptical. To say that Dr. Mary helped me doesn't do justice to all the amazing ways my life has changed for the good. My wish for everyone who is needing help is that they can have Dr. Mary as a therapist. She is a treasure; if you are willing to do the work, she will help you.

Written on Jun 07, 2022 after therapy with Mary for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

I have only had 3 sessions with Dr. Torok and after each session I have felt a bit better. I have been in a really bad state both physically and mentally when I started my sessions. Dr. Torok told me she would help me feel better at the end of our first session and I felt a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders. No one has ever said that to me before and I’m 46! I knew at that point I was going to be ok. She is wonderful and I’m looking forward to feeling like myself again with her help. Thank you Dr. Torok! I appreciate you taking the time to listen to me and then to help me accordingly.

Dr. Torok was short of amazing. I have gone through a handful of therapists (all in person) and none of them compare to Dr. Torok. She has extensive training in many kinds of therapies and uses honest empathy (which is the best!). Whoever gets to work with her is fortunate. She’s not a therapist you come by very often.

Dr. Torok I appreciate everything you did for me. Even if it was a short time, you showed me what it’s like to receive real therapy. Because of you, I believe that there are therapists out there that really love what they do.. :)
Ps to reader:

I know online therapy can sound like it’s probably not for you but coming from someone who thought this, I suggest you give it a shot. Time to put yourself first and who knows, maybe you’ll be matched with someone like Dr. Torok. (: thank you!
