Mary Teal is passionate about what she does. She puts a lot of thought into her work, and she is quite knowledgeable. I believe she has a combination of natural wisdom and intuitiveness, and she is also willing to add to her knowledge base through doing additional research when it would be helpful. I have had a lot of therapists in my lifetime, but I have never had one quite like Mary Teal.

Everyone desires to be healthy, happy, and whole. If you are expecting a result, envisioning an answer, or seeking a resolution for your challenges, you may simply need an idea regarding how to address them. You may even wonder if a solution exists for your situation. Be assured, there are no real limits when you pursue a path that leads to living your best life ever. In fact, it is your time! One choice - among others – is to "make a life change that will change your life". Pause and picture this, You at your very best. This is not so far removed from your grasp!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. I practice as a cognitive behavioral therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that is active, collaborative, goal-oriented and is based on the cognitive model. That means we will work together to understand the role that our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors play in our current struggles. In addition to support and insight, CBT offers clients specific strategies, skills and tools that you can use to make changes, relieve suffering, and achieve your goals.
I can help you make discoveries and establish connections, as you find yourself along the way. By maximizing the use of thought processing and development, in a cognitive manner, healing and happiness can begin. These great experiences can also continue. Therapeutic practices have always offered this type of comfort, while prompting the presence of joy.
You deserve to reach your goals. It is possible to overcome your current difficulties, if any exist. It is a perfect time, to take the time, and find lasting joy. I am compassionate about assisting others in exploring possibilities, utilizing abilities and finding optimal resolutions in the most satisfying ways. Therapy provides the tools to empower healthy living.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love Mary she’s heaven sent
Mary is amazing! She is very practical and down to earth, and yet understands and listens when dealing with things that are very much not those things. I appreciate her sincerity and honesty.
I love Mary, she has really assisted in my personal growth as a person. I trust her advice and expertise.
I love Mary too and all that she helps me to unpack. The encouragement that she gives me and help me come to the realization there's more in front of me than it is in my past Greater is coming. I'm not just some total of my setbacks. Her encouragement is often in mind with my spiritual leadership console and pastor at the ministry that I attend
Mary is so kind and understanding even when I am a bumbling mess. She has helped me with implementing better boundaries with family and work related issues and she is always understanding and sends me worksheets to help with my work along with our weekly meetings. She is so kind and helpful and friendly!
Mary Teal is an amazing therapist and listener. After only a few sessions, I already feel therapy is helping me!
Mary Teal is very positive and upbeat. She is very helpful and provides resources to help me. Her affirmations lift me up.
Mary Teal speaks truth in love and has the courage to help people become their best selves. I am grateful to be matched with such a high quality therapist. She is very responsive supportive and thorough. I can tell she really, truly cares.
Mary is amazing! She listens thoroughly and gives great insight on how to tackle issues in a way that’s easy to understand and participate in! She’s very kind and compassionate as well!
Smart lady
Mary is great, and she is one of the best I have worked with so far. She is honest and responsive, attends to my needs, and provides professional and constructive suggestions. If not due to the restrictions of the law, I would like to work with her for a longer term.
Mary has helped me from the start to find who I am and untap a greatness inside of me that was just waiting to get out! It has been an amazing journey the past few months full of amazing things and Mary has helped me gain my passion and independence. I have been able to shed my old self of self doubt to new confidence and greatness!
Amazing...just amazing
Honestly Marry Teal has been helping me these past few weeks, I’ve been less angry, hasn’t been in a verbal fight for weeks, I’ve been happier and more motivated to aproach people and even try helping others strive !
I often tell Mary “your words wash over me like healing water and make me feel peaceful.” I love how she takes a situation I struggled with like someone not keeping their word and she sees the whole situation, puts herself in my shoes, gives understanding of how it could have been hard for me, and gives perspective; also a gentle challenge like “well, could the other person have thought this or that?” and helps me see things differently if needed. She encourages positivity but doesn’t constantly hound me to “be positive be positive “. She’s been very encouraging.
No matter the time of day or circumstance, Mary has been there when I needed help. She’s completely engaged during live chats and offers alternative ways of thinking that I haven’t yet explored. Her guidance has brought so much more happiness and awareness to my home.
Working with Mary Teal has been an amazing experience! When I first started I had just gone through a series of crises in my life and she was there to guide me. Without the work that she asked me to do I’m not sure how far I would’ve gotten but I have reached a place of stability and self reliability. Highly recommended!
All I can say is WOW. Truly a divine connection. She is definitely helping me change my perspective on how I'm framing my world.
Mary is amazing. Her kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to care are remarkable. Her tools really do work. I feel my very best and most hopeful after speaking to her. She is the best therapist I've ever had. I've made more progress on 3 months with her then I had in my whole life with a plethora of other professionals. If you have the choice to have her as your therapist please do yourself a favor and pick her!!!
Just after one session with Mary I knew she was the person for the job. She exudes positive energy which makes it a little easier to talk about the difficult stuff.
I have only had one session with Mary but so far it is going really well!
Mary has been amazing and I wish everyone would get lucky with a therapist like her their first time!
I instantly clicked with Mary. I liked her and didn’t really want to. But I just could not help myself. I took her as very sincere and caring. Great at stimulating conversation and listening . Very happy with Mary so far. So is Mr. Paula!
Mary is helping me step into my best self! So many things in my life are aligning since I started talking with Mary. It has been an amazing last 3 weeks!
Sessions with Mary are life changing. If you are looking for self-improvement, introspection. reflection, and development of disciplines for empowerment and resiliency, Mary is the right person. I worked with Mary over a 2 year period and multiple life transitions. I no longer describe myself as overwhelmed by life. I am now equipped with the tools I need to face my future plans and uncertainties.
Mary's counseling has been crucial in the strides I've made this year. I've been given strategies that have helped me work towards my goals and greater growth. She is very supportive; not only does she build you up, but Mary helps you build yourself up as well.
Mary is amazing she helps think about the decision and situation. And I feel all the weight is lift off my shoulders.
I was hesitant at first to talk to a therapist, because I’ve had friends that have had bad therapists and councilors, but I’ve come to see Mary Teal as more of a friend and confidant than anything else. I wouldn’t be where I am right now without her help, without a doubt
Mary is amazing. She knows just what to say and helps me feel more confident.
Mary is absolutely wonderful. She is a great listener, deep thinker, and offers meaningful, practical advice.
I absolutely love Ms. Mary! She is definitely a God sent!

Some things in life are very hidden in the mind and it is so nice to have someone who understands. Thank you so much.
