About
TESTIMONIALS
I went to Dr. Shamtoob after seeing another therapist who had convinced me that my marriage wasn’t worth saving. Dr. Shamtoob was the opposite- she presented us both with facts about what makes marriages survive stressful times and encouraged us to take an optimistic approach.
After our first visit I was so relieved! I went from having no hope at all, to believing healing my marriage was possible!
Dr. Shamtoob, with a mixture of factual information and positive compassion empowered us to work on healing the traumas we both experienced as children, so we could start connecting from a new perspective.
Every session with Dr. Shamtoob has brought about clarity for us. We just celebrated 25 years of our first date.
