Private Matters Psychotherapy

Thank you PMP for the work you do. You provided a safe space to work through what I needed to work through. No judgement, just relax and start the journey.

Waste of time and money- I came to Marleen with a lot of trauma looking for EMDR. I was told we need to do a couple of sessions before we can start. Each session is $175. I did that, told her everything anbout my life and started emdr. It was really working for me. We had 5-6 sessions. One session near Christmas, I was struggling to stay regulated. Marleen said that I was too angry and asked if I thought therapy was helping….. I told her I had thought it was. She didn’t book another session with me after that. Months went by. I reached out to touch base and she let me know she’s fully booked but her collegue can help me learn regulation so I can start emdr again, if I want. (I don’t want to reshare my trauma with a new person) She said I can’t do emdr unless I can regulate myself better! But she’s a therapist and I sought emdr to help me regulate. Not helpful and expensive!

Very good and positive experience working with Marleen and her team. The level of care and professionalism is truly evident from the first moment of contact.

Marleen was amazing for my first session. She listened, was kind, and extremely impactful. I’m very excited to continue to work on my self with Marleen.

My interactions at PMPTherapy have all been positive. I’ve worked with Marleen over a two year period and have first-hand experience of her expertise, and her talents as a team-leader.From my point of view, Marleen embodies everything you could wish for in a therapist. Her commitment to quality care is evident. She is compassionate by nature and has an impressive background that embraces diversity - which is of the utmost importance for me.When this approach is combined with her knowledge and experience, it results in a safe environment at PMP - the type that promotes healing.Marleen connects with me on my terms and at my stage of readiness. For example, she listens attentively to my input so we can move forward from a starting point where I feel comfortable. Her empathy makes her easy to talk to, and it is clear she cares about the well-being of the people she encounters. I find her super-approachable.Under Marleen’s leadership, I have found that PMP provides a supportive environment for clients and staff. Further, her ability to foster a collaborative and inclusive culture is evidenced in the team she has built. Highly recommended.

Not a good fit for me.

I reached out to Private Matters Psychotherapy after a Workplace Injury as I was looking for a therapist to deal with PTSD. Marleen provided me with a local therapist who was a perfect fit for my needs. Though I did not end up dealing with her directly, she was professional and cared about my needs and mental health over her own business. Since then, I have recommended many of my coworkers to her office.

According to our records we have put 915 potential clients in touch with PMP Therapy over the past four years for psychotherapy services such as trauma, anxiety, grief and emdr.And we will continue to send people who need help to them, because PMP Therapy have always conducted themselves with the highest levels of professionalism and adherence to their duty of care.We have never had any negative feedback about them - which probably helps explain why, as a practice, they have grown ten-fold during that time.Keep up the great work!

Thank you PMP for amazing experience! Marleen you make me feel so much better every time when I talk to you !!
