I tried really hard to make this shorter, but honestly, I could have written pages and pages and not fully expressed just what Molly has meant to me and my life! So this is the shortest I could come up with!
Testimonial:
When I first met with Molly, I was weary after 8 years of navigating neurologists, rheumatologists, and hospitals, going through endless cycles of diagnosis, then undiagnosis, and ultimately dismissal. Out of exhaustion and repeated defeat of trying to find someone who would listen and believe me and symptoms, I had resigned myself to live my life on the sidelines as best as I could. My primary doctor offered to refer me to the Mayo Clinic for answers, but I was done with specialists. My fragile wounded soul could take no more.
My first appointment with Molly, I was met with kindness, validation, and the best listening I had experienced in 8 years. Years of specialists had taught me to compartmentalize my complex medical history and only present the pieces that were relevant to that clinician’s specialty. Attempts to try and present the whole picture always led to a referral to an additional specialist. So I was surprised to find that Molly wanted to hear the whole story, and even better, she was not intimidated or overwhelmed by the whole story. I kept expecting her to try and wrap me up and move me out the door, but one of the greatest gifts APT gives their clients is unhurried time to tell their stories and the time needed to accomplish their goals.
I left that first appointment with a flicker of hope. Over the following weeks and months, Molly patiently helped restore my faith in medicine, and most importantly, restored my trust in my own body that had seemed to betray me for years. Through Molly’s steadfast guidance, I’m now living the life that I didn’t even dare to dream of, thinking it was not possible for me. For patients stuck in the cycle of medical gaslighting, lack of answers and solutions, I cannot recommend Molly and APT strongly enough! Sometimes I grieve the 8 years I lost, when practical real solutions to my real problems were available, but ultimately I’m overwhelmed with the gratitude for the life I’m now living, which I couldn’t have accessed without Molly as my guide!
