Welcome!
Thanks for visiting my website. It is a pleasure to communicate with you using a method quite different from what I do in my usual professional life as a practicing psychotherapist, life coach, medical educator, and speaker on a variety of behavioral health topics. In my practice I work with both individuals and couples dealing with the stressors of daily lives and relationships. I specialize in treating patients suffering with chronic pain, who have been diagnosed as having TMS — a condition described by John Sarno, MD as Tension Myositis Syndrome. I welcome new patients.
Marian R. Stuart, Ph.D, is Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine and Community Health at Rutgers—Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. "Retiring" after thirty years of teaching medical students, doctors in graduate training, faculty and practicing physicians the art of integrating mental and physical health practices, she continues as a consultant and lecturer as well as pursuing a private practice as a Licensed Psychologist in the Princeton area of New Jersey. Senior author of The Fifteen Minute Hour: Efficient and Effective Patient Centered Consultation Skills, Sixth Edition (6th Edition, 2018), she is in great demand as a speaker on medical education, communications and stress management skills, successful aging, and the power of forgiveness.
