"Miriam Yerushalmi is an astounding therapist who has been working for two years with SPARKS, an organization I am very close with which helps women with perinatal depression. She is devoted to helping women in need and is successful in treating them. I believe her book Reaching New Heights has a lot of knowledge to offer and will be an inspiring read to all."

--Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski

"Miriam Yerushalmi has a deep understanding and a broad knowledge of Chasidic literature and she uses it effectively to heal souls. In this volume she shares that wisdom delicately with you, in a way that transforms you and your marriage."

--Rabbi Chaim Miller

"Mrs Miriam Yerushalmi presents a unique approach which is a beautiful blend of her Chassidic insight and her understanding of human nature. Her ability to see things from a deeper perspective enables her to guide young men and women into improving their personal lives and their marriage in the most challenging of situations. Her determination to keep the family together no matter what, is refreshing in a time when people are getting professional advice in a very different direction."

"The women that I referred to Miriam for counseling were grateful."

--Rabbi Shloma Majesky

"This book helps connect the seemingly disconnected dots that allow for a clearer picture of you, yourself, your relationships and ultimately, a clearer picture of your best life."

--Judith Leventhal, C.S.W., author Small Miracles
