Testimonials

Anon, Boston, MA

Dr. Crowley coached me in starting and building my private practice, bringing years of experience and a reality-based perspective. Her input and guidance regarding all aspects including marketing, maintaining professional relationships, and getting appropriate referrals was invaluable in establishing my "up and running" practice. Dr. Crowley has also provided perspective on several unique cases resulting in the development of a more timely and complete course of action. I will continue to rely on her for clinical supervision. There is no doubt having her input on difficult cases helps me become a more skilled and confident clinician, providing a more complete service to my clients. I feel very fortunate to have Mary Ellen Crowley as a trusted resource to my growing practice!

Dr. Crowley helped me make improvements in a number of areas including my depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships and career. As a male, I was not sure I would feel comfortable talking openly in therapy about difficult subject matters. Dr. Crowley put me at ease with her compassionate and accepting nature along with her collaborative style of treatment. Dr. Crowley is a true find. I highly recommend her to any person needing help.

Dr. Crowley has been a life changing resource for me. I am diagnosed with OCD and am recovering from an eating disorder as well. When I am meeting with Dr. Crowley, I feel heard. She exudes compassion and empathy, and makes her space a judgment-free zone. She also adds her knowledge of research to support what she is saying. This is so helpful to me because it gives me more reason to shift my own thinking when I'm feeling stuck. While this combination of compassion and research works for me, I sense that she would find the right balance for each client individually. Dr. Crowley seems to know intuitively when to gently press me for more information and when to let me share on my own. Working with Dr. Crowley has given me the therapeutic space I need and leaves me feeling cared for and valued. Her warmth, intuition, humor, intelligence, and compassion are gifts that have not only helped me through some difficult times but have also helped me to see my own beauty.
