I am grateful for the opportunity to have therapy and counseling sessions with Mary. She is kind and compassionate and takes the time to listen and ask questions, and her advice has greatly helped me manage my anxiety. She has helped me develop practices and a mindset that has allowed me to lead my days more mindfully. And this has helped me feel more confident in myself and my ability to navigate uncertainty. Thank you to her for taking the time to help and guide me.

More about Mary

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LMFT

I am a licensed professional counselor with 4 years of experience working with adults and many other age groups who had diagnoses of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, PTSD, or relationship issues, and parenting challenges. My counseling style is empathetic, active listening, interactive, and each person is treated as an expert of their own experiences. I view each person as needing assistance with finding tools that help them live the life they prefer.

My counseling approach encompasses humanistic, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, and other family therapies that can assist with healing and challenges. I will work with you to create a plan that accommodates your special needs. The focus is on the strength that it takes for someone to seek assistance with various challenges. I look forward to collaborating with you on your new life plan.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mary is knowledgeable, supportive and easy to talk to. I’ve been in therapy off and on for years, but I feel like I’ve made more progress with her in a short time than I have with others. Very grateful for her.

Sep 2022

Mary is a wonderful therapist. I only would rate her a nine because I have suffered long term severe trauma that I believe merit a ptsd or trauma specialist or expert. I’m unfortunately due to losing everything has me financially disadvantaged for the first time in my life. Mar is professional, compassionate, non judgmental, empathetic. Nothing within her control I have trauma that is extremely complex and I need services frankly I cannot afford. But Mary, she represents your company extremely well.

Mary was really able to help my young teen though a confusing time in regards to gender identity issues. In the few visits they had with Mary, I could tell they seemed more at ease & comfortable with themselves again— which is what I wanted. I hope to be able to reconnect my teen with Mary in the future. Thank you!
