About

Posted by Marcia and Dr. Rick


Our motto is “IF YOU’VE GOT A PROBLEM, WE’VE GOT AN ANSWER” and every day we will try to fulfill that pledge. We decided to start this website because life is stressful and complicated. We hope we’ve created a place where people can feel safe as they seek out some guidance and support. People know us from television and radio as kind and truthful advisors who are willing to tell it as it is. We know as complicated as issues become, we can cut to the heart of a problem using a firm but gentle touch mixed with humor and optimism. We’re confident that two minds are better than one in resolving life’s problems.

Marcia and Rick started their working relationship at KTLA, the Tribune station in Los Angeles.  Marcia, as Executive Producer of the popular morning news, hired Rick to be the resident Psychologist. They morphed into working together on-air, creating a web series called Sound Advice with Marcia and Dr. Rick. The well-reviewed series which the L.A. Times called “snappy and engaging” was picked up by ABC’s HD Network and has since become a daily half-hour series called Advice for Life.
