My words will never be able to adequately convey what I feel in my heart and in my soul in terms of gratitude. You have been a lifesaver for me the past few years, and that is no exaggeration.

Thank you for encouraging me not to keep my feelings “bottled up” and for always lifting my spirits. You have been such an important and special part of my journey and I know I would not be where I am today without you.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, mentorship and caring over the past several years. Knowing that you believe in me and truly care about my wellbeing and happiness has meant the most. I’ve grown so much and I owe it to our work together.

Your words are slowly sinking in, which in itself is a feat. I don’t know where I’m headed, but your office is always a sanctuary to discover my best path forward.

Thank you for your wisdom and counsel. I have benefitted much from our discussions and will continue on my journey of emotional and physical wellness.

I could not have grown this much without your patience, encouragement, advice, support, wisdom, acceptance and occasional tough love. Thank you for also inspiring my career change. I can’t imagine a better mentor.

You have made such a difference in my life. You have stood by me, challenged me, comforted me, supported me through thick and thin, and I can’t say that about many people.

I am writing to express my deep appreciation to Dr Marc Hafkin for the help and mentoring I received while being his patient in therapy for several years. I originally came to see Dr Hafkin on the recommendation of a colleague who had seen him previously for depression and anxiety. Upon meeting Dr Hafkin he took a detailed history of my panic attacks and the abuse I suffered as a younger woman. I was immediately relaxed and felt that my story had value in being listened to as well as being understood.Throughout my time with Dr Hafkin, he displayed a professional stance combined with kindness and understanding which allowed me to cope with the feelings I experienced. At the end of my therapy process I felt that I no longer had panic attacks and could incorporate the abuse I experienced as part of my history and not allow it to determine my future. I am forever grateful to the time I had with Dr Hafkin and would recommend him to anyone seeking therapy.
