Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, LMFT, BCC
Founder & Clinical Director of Growing Self Counseling & Coaching
You won't find real marriage counselor, life coach or therapy reviews on Google.
Why not? Because everything that happens in marriage counseling, therapy, and life coaching is confidential, and extremely personal. Ethical therapists never ask their clients to review them publicly.
At the same time, we have clients reach out all the time to talk about how much their work with us meant to them and they want you to know that this works.
Lots of people have done this and are now on the other side, having made profound changes in themselves, their relationships and their careers.
I'm pleased to share their words with you, in a respectful format that protects both their confidentiality, and right to anonymity. — LMB

What Growing Self Clients Have to Say

– Former Relationship Coaching Client

– Coaching Client

My career coach was so very warm and kind. She is also very insightful and helpful. I feel safe and I can be completely open to her. I came to her for help with my career and a fresh, professional, and third-person obejective perspective. Our work has given me new perspective, and the courage to move forward.

“Dori is a good listener and help us hear and understand each other.“
– Couples Counseling Client

“I like the scientific aspects that our relationship coach brings in – like studies that support certain conclusions and her ability to create openness about our pasts and getting us to think of who we are individually and together. “

– Couples Counseling Client

“Our marriage counselor was able to immediately capture us as individuals and as a couple. After our first consultation, I felt like she really understood our background and challenges. It made us feel hopeful that we could and would work through this challenging chapter in our lives.”
– Couples Counseling Client

What we uncovered through our work was how the bonds we build with our parents impact how we attach to our romantic partners. At first, I didn't want to own that my dad's abandonment of me was definitely playing out in my love life. Once we addressed the patterns and negative thinking that resulted from this – I finally understood that when I felt like I was getting to be “too much” or requiring things from my partner, I feared being abandoned and therefore moved my boundaries too far. This left me unfulfilled and lonely, and I ultimately ended most of the relationships.
As I made progress and began to change my thinking patterns using what we practiced – POOF! In comes ___, my now fiance 🙂 I am incredibly grateful I sought her help and the “coaching” style as opposed to traditional talk therapy helped me immensely. It made me feel normal, relatable, and like I had control again and made better choices.
After years of never thinking I would “get it right”, I finally did by getting right with myself first. I speak up, I hold my partner accountable, and I truly believe I am worthy.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your skills and sharing them with me – our work together truly transformed my life.“

I truly can't say enough amazing things about Growing Self. Brenda Fahn is an awesome therapist/life coach who has helped me change my entire life. Nearly two years ago, I felt like I had hit the proverbial rock bottom. My career was burning me out, I suffered from major perfectionistic tendencies, and I was very depressed–to mention just a few of my issues. Basically, I had no idea how to go about fixing things, but I knew I needed to do something–and fast.
Luckily, I met Brenda who has been such a guiding light with her wonderful wisdom and great sense of humor. The rapport we've created has given me the courage to step outside of my comfort zone and follow exciting new paths. I'm not quite sure where I would be if I hadn't decided to reach out and ask for the help I so badly needed. I can only say thank you to Growing Self and to Brenda.

"I have loved that I get to work with a really good therapist online. With her help I have learned so much about myself. I feel like I've had the opportunities to see my issues in a different light, which has allowed me to move from my place of feeling "stuck" into a place of action. There is still work to be done. Success is a moving target, but instead of feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, I feel confident that I will ultimately get to where I want to be."
