Depression can show up as more than sadness. It can feel like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, or a heaviness that makes ordinary things feel impossibly hard. Whatever it looks like for you, you don't have to push through it alone.

We provide everything you need! We make it easy! 

I don't have the energy to start therapy. What if I can't commit?
This is one of the hardest parts of depression — the very thing that would help feels impossible. We start small. The first step is just one phone call. We'll go from there.
Do I need medication?
Not necessarily. Many clients do well with therapy alone. For others, a combination is most effective. We can refer you to a trusted prescriber if needed.
I'm worried about safety — for myself or someone I love. What should I do?
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. We're also here to talk and help you find the right next step — please reach out.﻿

I had the privilege of working with Jo for several years, both individually and in couples counseling, during one of the most challenging times in my life, and I am incredibly grateful for her support. Jo is warm, authentic, relational, and genuinely down-to-earth, which immediately put me at ease and made it easy to open up. She created a therapeutic environment rooted in compassion, acceptance, and humanity, setting a standard for the kind of warmth I believe every therapist should strive for. I always felt heard, understood, and respected, and her guidance had a lasting impact on my life. If you're looking for a therapist who feels like a real person—not someone distant, cold, or clinical—I wholeheartedly recommend Jo and this practice. The care I received made a meaningful difference, and I can't recommend them highly enough.﻿

I had a great experience at the William A. Presti center.  My therapist helped me get thru a tough patch in my life.  She was very caring, kind, knowledgeable and helpful.  I would definitely recommend this center.﻿

We found the center using Google and they recommend Marcie Reznik to us. She was the first experience my partner and I ever had with a life coach. I am not sure what we were expecting but as we both felt like we had an issue we were not able to push through alone we went. We did a total of 6 sessions and LOVEd it! Each time we learned more about the process and each other. Marcie was patient and helped us see what was necessary to move forward. It has been 2 months since our last appointment and it has been great using  the tools she thought us. I think our relationship is stronger and our ability to think things out and communicate is so much better. I have a new understanding on Life Coaching and 100% recommend Marcie!!﻿
