"Having had sessions with Rachel, Jennifer, Sharon and a very rewarding last class sendoff led by the founder Dr. Murray, I can honestly say this is more than just 'a place to get your classes done'. Each session I either learned something about how mind altering substances (not just alcohol) affect the body, or learned something introspective and profound about myself. You are treated like a human being at Murray, not just another number. I have no critiques on how to make the experience better- it was top notch. If you're looking for a place to get your DMV mandated classes completed and learn something about how to better yourself as a person, consider no other place than Murray & Associates."
