Marilyn Pearlman, MSW

I have been working on myself with Marilyn for around four years and it has been a pleasurable, informative, and impactful experience. She has gone above and beyond more times than I can count throughout the years and I cannot thank her enough. She is a wonderful, empathetic human that truly loves what she does, which is evident by her work ethic and level of commitment to her patients/clients. I highly recommend Marilyn for anyone that is having a tough time navigating through this human experience.

I am a therapy veteran, I have been seeking therapy most of my life through crisis and maintenance phases, but I started feeling stuck in a loop. I was tired of addressing issues only cognitively and found I needed someone to support a deeper, more spiritual, dive into my ways of being. Marilyn has offered me exactly that. Her guidance is gentle and soft when I need it to be, directive to get me unstuck, but always lead by intuition, alignment of energy, and a deep grounding in Truth (with a capital T). If you’re ready for a deep look in the mirror at your own spiritual and psychological patterns, or even if you’re not, Marilyn will help take you there safely and lovingly even when it’s a little scary.

I’ve never had a better therapist than Marilyn. I would not be where I am today without her. She gave me back my life :)

Marilyn has helped me through some of my toughest times, especially when I hit a low during the pandemic. Her calming nature is so comforting to be around, and really helped me to relax and open myself up. We cleared up a lot emotions regarding past childhood trauma, which ultimately helped me make the changes I needed in life to become who I am today. I don’t think I could’ve taken the steps needed had I not had Marilyn’s full support at those crucial moments, reassuring me and coaching me through the tough moments when I would second guess myself and my worth. I’m so thankful I had the pleasure of meeting Marilyn back in 2011, I left for college and we separated for 7 years or so, but she was there for me when I needed her again, and I’m very grateful for that! You can’t do wrong by choosing Marilyn to be your provider, she is patient, compassionate, trustworthy, and most importantly kind hearted.

Marilyn came into my life at just the right time. She has incredible intuition and ways of forming a deep connection in just a couple of visits! Her insightful feedback and guidance helped me navigate and overcome a very treacherous time in my life. Through working with Marilyn, I have found my peace and how to shape my life around that. We have tackled so many issues in different aspects of my life. I've learned ( and still learning) how to be a better me as a mother, wife, daughter, friend and a professional in my field. Strongly recommend to anyone and everyone looking for a therapist.

Marilyn is a one in a million find. In the time that I have worked with her I can say hands down that my life has changed. I have grown in every area of my life (spiritually, in my own work, as a parent, my health, the list goes on). Marilyn is somehow able to effortlessly integrate impeccable wisdom, guidance and compassion while also not putting up with stagnation - she'll filter through the layers and identify exactly what work needs to be done, every session with her feels like progress. She offers an intuitive approach as well, which I have found to bring me big shifts in places that I had been stuck for a long time. Im not sure there's a therapist out there like Marilyn, a true gift to this world.

Marilyn Pearlman has played the many roles of therapist, teacher and guide in my life and she has always made me feel like a friend and colleague. Through her multimodal approach to healing consisting of energy work, intuitive guidance, and her years of clinical experience, Marilyn continues to help me with the deeper work, the “hard stuff” that I wasn’t capable of doing on my own. With each appointment whether in person or virtual, she creates an environment that is open, honest, trusting and safe.

Marilyn Pearlman is an exceptional therapist. She has helped me through some very challenging times, and had also helped me thrive in quiet and happy periods of my life. Her commitment to my mental health and well-being has been extraordinary. She is insightful and intuitive and often knows how to help me figure out what I need when I can’t see it clearly. I believe that professionally, and personally, I may not have achieved much of my growth, success, peace, and happiness without Marilyn. She helps me thrive, motivates me, and nourishes my mind and soul. I highly recommend her services if you are lucky enough to be able to meet with her.

Marilyn Pearlman, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 12! Exceptional therapist... helping me to connect with my feelings, emotions, and reality. She has shown me that I'm here to embrace the human experience, to absorb its lessons and foster my personal growth. I view myself as the lead actor in my life's journey, where both joys and sorrows play their vital roles. It's through facing discomfort and challenges that I've learned the significance of stepping out of my comfort zone, with guidance from my therapist, Marilyn. I believe every twist and turn in life serves a greater purpose. As I reflect on my path, I see myself contributing to a much larger, interconnected picture. My role is unique, and my journey is essential. I have purpose. Thank you Marilyn, for turning on the light, and helping to clear the clutter away.

Marilyn has been a gift to our family. She has an ability to suss out the issue & get to heart of the matter by providing great techniques and solutions. She's very easy to talk to and provides a safe, judgement free environment. She comes across as very genuine and always greets us with a huge smile on her face. Cannot recommend her enough.

Marilyn is a terrific counselor and thought partner. I'm constantly impressed by her insight and ability to get to the heart of the matter to help me unpack and deal with whatever I'm grappling with in any given moment.

Marilyn is fantastic! Her ability to zero in on what the real issues are help me and my partner not only save our relationship but to make it stronger. I’m so grateful for her insight.

I highly recommend Marilyn - she is a wonderful therapist. Marilyn gets very quickly to the essence of situations and is very clear about what she feels is the best way forward. She has helped me release grief through tapping and has encouraged me to push through difficult situations, with incredible results. Marilyn empowers me - she has gone above and beyond as she supports and encourages me to face the difficult situations in my life. I look back over these last few months and marvel how things have unfolded. They would NOT have happened if it wasn't for her guidance.

Marilyn is an AMAZING therapist! I searched high and low in Sarasota to find a marriage counselor that had good reviews. Marilyn was literally the only one meeting such criteria that took our insurance. My husband and I have seen her for around a year and she has made a major difference in our marriage. I'm not sure how to explain, but everything we have dealt with, she is an expert on the issue. From our special needs children, to my husband's pain management, Marilyn has the best suggestions on everything that we are going through. I think the world of her and and i'm so glad we found her as our therapist.

Marilyn is a true gem. I believe there are Angels among us and she is an Earth Angel ?? Her kindness, smile, compassion, comfort, and support in my time of personal crisis has been amazing! She shares valuable tools to enable me to navigate mentally and spiritually through the “ First day of the rest of my life” and beyond. I’m very grateful for her guidance.

Marilyn is wonderful! I have worked with her for a few years and she has helped me through many ups and downs in life. She is caring, truly listens and offers an unbiased, positive outlook on any situation. Marilyn is more than a therapist, she really is a friend.

Warm, friendly, available, knowledgeable, one of a kind counselor! She’s helping me through one of the most difficult times in my life.

Marilyn has helped me and my family for many years. I have ADHD and two kids and my life is always spinning out of control. Marilyn helps me get back on track and gain clarity and focus. I can’t take medication so her life coaching is what helps me manage my ADHD. She is direct, honest and responsive. She has helped my career for the better. Sometimes she tells you what you don’t want to hear but she has years of experience working with the same human, life and relationship situations and knows what works to handle them so we trust Marilyn. She is also great at connecting people and resources. Thanks for helping my family.

I highly recommend Ms. Pearlman as a therapist. Her professional caring and accepting manner helps in establishing a trusting relationship. She provides education on symptoms/issues and their effect on the mind and body. She utilizes various treatment modalities including Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to assist a client in learning new coping skills. As a client you will be more empowered and positive in handling life issues.

Marilyn Pearlman is just the right person to go to for any of your problems! She is such a warm and loving person that it makes it easy to view her as a friend and thus, making it easier to open up to her more. She has helped me tremendously and I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me. It is obvious that she truly cares about all of her clients and every experience I have had with her was amazing. I am so glad that I have had the pleasure of knowing her for all these years and am able to have a healthy relationship with her!
