First and foremost, we want to say how incredibly honored and humbled we are to be standing here tonight, receiving the Bizzy Award for Best New Business in 2025. This is a moment that we will never forget.
A heartfelt thank you to the of Commerce for recognizing and uplifting local businesses in such a powerful way. Thank you to the nominees—your work and dedication inspire me and so many others. To the sponsors, partners, and every single attendee in this room—your presence and support tonight reflect the strength of our business community, and I’m truly grateful to be a part of it.
At MMD Counseling Services, our mission goes beyond counseling sessions—it’s about spreading mental health awareness, breaking down stigmas, and creating safe spaces for healing and growth. This recognition is not just about my business—it’s about the lives we’re striving to impact every day.
September is an especially meaningful month. It is both Su***de Prevention Awareness Month and a time dedicated to mental health awareness. These observances remind us how vital it is to have ongoing conversations about mental health—because awareness saves lives. By addressing the challenges openly, we remind people that they are not alone, that their voices matter, and that seeking help is a sign of strength, never weakness.
This award motivates me and my team to continue our mission with even greater passion, determination, and hope. Together, as a community, we can change the way we view mental health, support one another, and create brighter futures for all. Thank you again to the Pocono Chamber of Commerce, the nominees, the sponsors, and each of you here tonight. Your support means more than words can capture. I accept this award with deep gratitude and with a renewed commitment to making an impact through MMD Counseling Services.
Thank you.
