Mary is attentive and a great listener! However, she isn’t just a sounding board and is very good at helping me to see and acknowledge what I can do to help myself. Mary is compassionate and I highly recommend her.

I have been working with Mary for over a year and recommend her highly. Mary is warm, supportive, and respectful, and has consistently provided me gentle but honest feedback and guidance as I worked through a difficult workplace situation, which led me to re-evaluate my priorities and change careers entirely. It has been a privilege to work with her and I plan to continue working with her on a longer-term basis.

I am a licensed mental health counselor supervisor in the state of North Carolina with 23 years of experience. I received my counseling LPC license in 1998 and my Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor license in 2011. I received my Masters in Counseling degree from Webster University in 1997.
I have worked in the counseling field since 1995. My experience includes working as a counselor in an adult women’s inpatient unit specializing in eating disorders, personality disorders , psychotic disorders and PTSD.
I have maintained a private practice since 1998 working primarily with adults, families and couples .
I was a therapist at a Residential Healing Farm from 2005-2018 where I worked with adults who presented with a broad range of issues and diagnosis. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD, EMDR, Solution focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are among the modalities used when working with clients.
My therapy style is to meet you where you are now , and together work towards solutions and empowerment.
I look forward to working with you !

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.
