“I’ve truly enjoyed working with Brian.  I appreciate his rational and logical approach to life and problem solving.  He’s helped me make a very difficult career decision that I now look back on as one of the best decisions of my life.  He’s helped me to better understand my relationship with my wife.  He’s also helped me identify and move on from a toxic relationship with a family member.  His advice will sometimes verify what I’m already feeling and sometimes will surprise me, but it has always been sound advice.  I highly recommend his services!”

“I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and motivation. I knew what I wanted from life but I didn’t believe it was possible, or the amount of work to get there seemed too mountainous. I have seen a psychologist, and that was helpful for me. Brian is helpful in similar ways, but his unique position allows him to be more useful than a psychologist, if you let him. He also has a sharp eye for any excuses or evasions you might be making and he helps you to think about them and yourself and whether you want those cop-outs to define your character.”

“Brian Mardiney’s chief strength is his ability to ask thoughtful, concise questions. These kind and warm inquiries often fast-lane the conversation to the highest and most important issues. I ramble and don’t know where to begin, but suddenly things track for the better. Brian is experience and perspective allows not only for me to have revelations that are nice to know, I but to take on tools that crack open dysfunction and easily reveal how to develop my self esteem. These surprising facts are life-changing, and give me measurable progress towards my ambitious goals. The talks and meetings are a blast, and I feel very empowered and strong. Thanks, Brian!”

“Having worked with Brian for months on how to better my own life, I would say that I’m in a good position to tell you how he works as a “reality guide”. It’s hard to quantify the all-encompassing nature of his service but it has been a valuable asset. It has helped me more than going to doctor, working with a psychiatrist, and chatting with a counselor. Where each of them failed, he has succeeded. Make no mistake, this isn’t a touchy-feely, lay on a couch and talk about your emotions forever kind of therapy. Brian deals with reality, pure and simple. Once he’s led you through the principles and methods, and once you understand the concepts of how reality works, if you err, it will be so clear to you, as will the remedy.

If you want to discuss and understand reality, and how to apply it to better your own life; if you want someone who can evaluate your life to figure out where you went wrong, and where you can go right; if you want to develop motivation, drive, value, independence and self-esteem; if you want someone with principle to show you how simple it all is… then Brian is your man.”

“As a teenager with opportunities but little ambition, Brian gave me the push I needed to be successful. My issue wasn’t circumstance, it was motivation, and Brian got me to realize and change this. By teaching me to think about the hard questions and hold my work/lifestyle to a higher standard, Brian allowed me to reach and surpass my goals. He also put great effort into helping me overcome the teenage slump that high school can cause. If it weren’t for Brian, I would never have thought of, let alone reach, the academic level I have achieved.

Brian doesn’t just analyze the issues, he communicates and works with you to pass whatever is in your way. I have full confidence that he will be able to replicate his success with me with anyone willing to put in a serious effort to change.”

My wife and I have been married for a little over two years. We are very much in love. We are happy, successful, and confident people. This, of course, does not make us immune to negative emotions. Quite the opposite: because we love each other very much, the emotions we feel are intense. Sometimes something really small and otherwise insignificant, coupled with implicit expectations, causes a very strong emotional response. Staying calm and rational in these cases is challenging.

Brian has been amazing in helping us navigate through such turbulent moments. He has an uncanny ability to effortlessly get to the root of any problem, large or small. My wife and I sometimes joke that Brian acts as an interpreter, translating to us what the other partner meant to say and why. He helps us to take the emotion apart and analyze what is it exactly we are reacting to, whether the reaction valid, and how best to communicate it to one another. With Brian’s help, we have learned how to approach emotions and disagreements, and achieve our individual goals in a mutually beneficial way. We will continue using Brian’s services and will highly recommend him to all our friends.
