"Marcella came to speak to my first-year graduate counseling psychology students about how to use a social justice lens in the treatment of eating disorders. She was vibrant, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our group appreciated the depth of her professional experience and knowledge, as well as how receptive she was to student questions. She packed a lot of useful, actionable guidance into a short presentation, and brought additional information for the students to review independently. As a professor and clinician, guest lectures don't always deepen my own professional knowledge, but the assessment questions Marcella provided will allow me to deepen my practice and provide better support to the clients I serve. Marcella is a gift and any organization would be lucky to have her speak."

“Your presentation was fantastic. The amount of information you provided, and the number of seeds you planted for further study, was incredible given the short period of time. I felt your desire to cover more than the time allowed, and empathize with that very deeply as a fellow educator! There's no good way to make one's entire canon of knowledge concise. After class, one student asked me about specific treatment recommendations beyond what was covered in the readings, something that wasn't covered concisely during the lecture, but was instead woven through the entire presentation. I encouraged her to review all the information in your slides, and think my first semester students might need a little more hand-holding in terms of "Here are the most common ways we treat EDs. Bullet point one..." to make things more digestible at their developmental level.”
