Marla Genova not only walks the walk, but talks the talk of someone who knows firsthand the struggles of those with this disorder.

You continue to amaze me Marla… you are creating this beautiful and powerful wave of interest, and hope; a name for Social Anxiety in the community and acceptance… and again, hope, there is no
stopping you now!

– Kim

Thank you so much Marla for all of your hard work! You are making a real difference in many people’s lives! I look forward to the future of the group.

I don’t know where I’d be right now without this SA support group. I started in 2013 and I was able to interact with people like me who have intense anxiety and not feel like I’m alone anymore.

– Jon, CT

I had given up far too many social, personal, and professional opportunities in an effort to cope with SA for over 30 years.

The group is a safe environment to build awareness and foster positive attitudes. It allows us to gently confront our SA issues and practice behavioral exercises that mirror real world social situations.

– Grateful in New Jersey

I was disappointed that most therapists have never heard of social anxiety and the lack of resources.

I’ve found that since attending this group, I feel much more optimistic about being able to overcome my anxiety.

– Angela, Eastern CT

I am a mom and a therapist. Marla helped me identify key resources specifically for my 18-
year-old daughter’s needs. She immediately sent me helpful information in our area.

I express my gratitude to Marla for her testimony that anxiety recovery is possible by sharing her experiences, strength, and her maintenance of growth.

– Susan B., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Marla Genova was so understanding and non-judgmental that I felt like I was talking to a friend. We spoke about a social situation that I had coming up the following day, and immediately after our call, she sent me lots of resources to help me prepare for that.

She checked in on me about how the event went and again a few days later, after she sent me even more resources.

I cannot thank her enough for being there when I needed direction.

She enabled me to see that I was stronger, smarter and more courageous than I thought,
and I kept speaking in front of audiences.
