Dr Colon (aka Marga) has literally saved my life! She made me feel heard and understood. I will be forever grateful for all of her sage advice! She not only helped me but it’s a ripple effect as it helped everyone I love and everyone I encounter in this amazing thing called “life”!

Margarita has been very helpful and comforting to me during such hard times. She is a little more direct than my last therapist and that's been helpful for me. I also appreciate that she's a bit more mature, and she's been in this industry so long.
