Testimonials:

"Doctor Marino. Uh, it's been like 30 years, man. Um, this is Joseph H.. Um, Just calling to check in on you, man. Like you're one of my favorite therapists and all that shit. Um, I was just calling to see how you were. Let you know how we're doing, you know, me, my wife, my daughter... Thank you, um. Anyway, Hopefully, I'll talk to you soon, my man. Bye."

Happy Thanksgiving, my friend thank you for everything. You’ve done for me when I was raver lol you’re the best man. Evan R.

"Dear Dr Carbonell, I wanted to send you this because I think you will be happy to know that all our efforts made a difference. We can't begin to tell you how happy and proud we are of [our son's] dedication and accomplishment. When he transferred to another university the counselor put him on a graduation date of 2022. We were determined to make up for lost time so D. took summer classes and full semesters of 5 and 6 classes putting him on a graduation date of 2019. I also wanted to let you know that he will start law school this fall. Again, we want to thank you as you were an integral part of this journey. All the best, the T. family."

"My son's savior!!" G.R., Jr.

"Hi Marino! This is Meghan H., you ran into my Mom and Dad at the Opera last weekend. I just wanted to reach out and tell you that you may not have been able to reach me back when I was a know-it-all 18 year old, but eventually your influence planted a seed that helped to facilitate a freedom from active addiction. When I tell my story, I now mention how “my first substance abuse counselor in my first rehab at 18 basically told me exactly where I would end up if I didn’t stop, and at the time I thought he was full of shit…but EVERYTHING HE SAID CAME TRUE!” So you “told me so”, and you were right! It only took me about ten years of pain and misery to “get it”.

Anyway, your name comes up occasionally when Sarah B. and I reminisce about the past, she and I are still close friends. I have about 5 years clean today, and a new job working at The Council on Addiction Prevention and Education in NY. We are an non-profit OASAS State funded prevention agency and have recently received a demonstration grant to facilitate Recovery Coaching services for free to residents of our county. So now I’m out in the community talking to “know it alls” like myself, trying to help them along in their journey. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the movie “Anonymous People” but we work closely with “Friends Of Recovery” who helped put together the film. On Tuesday we were up in the Capital all day lobbying for more funding to help people get recovery services in New York where the heroin epidemic is killing so many young people.

I spent so many years praying I wouldn’t run into you at The Riviera Country club while I was home visiting, but now I am glad to be in touch and thank you for all that you have done and are doing. I spoke to a group of teenagers the other night at an Adolescent Outpatient facility and felt like it was 1999 all over again!

I would love to catch up with you one day, I come down a few times a year to see the family. Hope you’re new year is out to a great start... All The Best, Meghan"

Dear Marino, It is many years since we have been in contact; but, not a day goes by that we don't recognize the extraordinarily positive impact you had on our daughter's life at a difficult time for all of our family. We know you have many success stories. Please add this one to the collection. Mindie N. has been an outstanding and dedicated reading teacher at a charter school in Nashville, Tennessee since February 2008. She has not touched any substance since she underwent your tutelage beginning December 2001. She is an incredibly wonderfully dedicated teacher! We are grateful to you, AND TO HER, every day! Ann and Jack N.
