My name is Eric Rosen, I’m 47 years old. I believed my life’s better years were behind me, then i met Mark Armiento. My experience with this gentle man was life altering. His sense of self and purpose of helping others touched me, and awoken in me a belief how we are all connected in our pursuit of spirituality. His influence inspired me to become someone i was not aware of. I, today feel a freedom i cannot repay, Mark is a beautiful soul, a well educated professional, and most importantly, a true human being. I am very grateful to have been brought into his hope for humanity, His solution based ideas for addressing behavioral issues profoundly changed my life forever. I feel he would become a valuable asset to any environment which involves him.

“Mark is a wonderful mentor and role model for each and everyone of us. I was fortunate to be his student at OTI. Because of his success in life skills and his pursuit of happiness he has undoubtedly influenced my decision to further my education and attain self actualization. I started St. Joseph’s College in September 2011 and will be graduating this spring. God willing. I will then intern and study for my CASAC exam. Thank You Mark for sharing and caring for all your students,myself included,at OTI. Miss you! Claudette. PS. I still try and drink a gallon of water a day!”

Mr. Armiento is an extremely knowledgable, personable, and dynamic lecturer. His presentations were clear, precicse, and well referrenced. He served me, as well as many others, as model and mentor. Should I be in a position to hire Mr. Armiento I would not hesitate to assign him to the highest post possible with the assurance that he will meet all goals presented to him with great quality and sincereity from the heart. His dedication to date has been unsurpassed, and I continue to model myself after his teachings. He is one of those people who enter your life and impact so greatly he will forever live in your heart. These are my honest feelings.”

“Since I have been blessed to have Mark as my teacher, my life has become more manageable and I think twice before I just react. My family and I are enjoying the advantage of the “new me”.  I now live in the present moment, opening my listening ears and eyes of my soul.”

“I have never felt worthy- always looking for my voice and validation. Mark has helped me to find my voice!  I’m now pushing through my fears,  see my own self worth and finally learning what to do with it!  I now look forward to finally speaking up and letting my voice be heard!  Thank you, Mark!    I’m not scared anymore.”

“Since the 1st time I met Mr. Armiento, I felt relieved during all of his lectures.  Mark, has motivated me to believe in myself and not be ashamed to express who I really am. Since such time in my professional life, I have become a better and stronger person. Realizing that what I have been doing for so long is a gift – a blessing that has helped others find themselves like I have. God bless you, Mr. Armiento for your warmth, professionalism and most of all for the gift of touching others with your words of wisdom.”

 “Mark was a great administrator at the Outreach Training for counselors for substance abuse. He inspired so many people in this program because of the special way that he connected with people. This program was one of the best run training programs that I have experienced and I am sure that the knowledge and personal attributes that made this program top notch also make Mark a great counselor. Many people told about how the program had changed their lives and I am sure he is continuing to help people change their lives as a counselor.”

“Mark Armiento is one of the most exceptional men I have ever known. his professionalism is legendary at Outreach and other substance abuse treatment facilities. The reason for this is that Mark and his extraordinary team helped train many of the C.A.S.A.C. professionals in the field today. Mark will be an incredible asset to any organization that hires him.”

As a recent graduate of OTI I had the pleasure of meeting Mark. I can’t put into words the profound effect that you had on my life. Synergistic is the word that comes to mind! At a time when I was searching for ” The meaning of it all” you confirmed some of the things I believe in and taught me new things also. Thank you for sharing part of your life with me, the spiritual part! Truly I have been blessed by meeting you and that’s from my heart!

“Thank you for the everlasting gift you presented for all of us in class, Mr. Armiento. There was so much emotions and passion coming through me in every moment in the class.  I guess what I am saying is that I felt every chakra and matter inside me vibrating and it would not stop. There were times I wanted to explode but I held it in. There were so many things you were hitting inside of me that I am ready to release and so many purposeful things that I am feeling that calling for me not to resist anymore. You say huge things in such simplicity that heals a person the moment they allow it to be fed into their minds. I am not trying to put you on a pedestal or anything just sharing what you have invoked inside of me….Now I no longer feel the need to…
