Professional endorsements
"My husband and I were having some difficulties getting past some arguments. We were stuck and needed some tools to help us strengthen our relationship in times of stress. Dr. Serabian is outstanding. She brings warmth, kindness and also extensive psychological knowledge to each session. She made us feel incredibly comfortable and over time, has not only changed our marriage but the way we approach our own lives and stress. The transformation has been unbelievable. I cannot provide a higher recommendation for couples and individuals than Dr. Serabian."
