Hi my name is Mary Baez. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist registered in the state of California. I have been working in the mental health field for fifteen years in a varieties of settings, giving me a wealth of knowledge on human behavior. Beyond my educational qualifications I have learned and continue to learn from the clients I have had the pleasure and honor of serving throughout my years of clinical practice. The learning never stops and the resiliency of the human spirit is amazing. I also am a clinical supervisor of up and coming therapists.
It is of upmost importance to me to build a trusting therapist/client relationship in the beginning of the therapeutic process. This is done by listening with my whole heart in a non-judgmental stance to allow for soulful sharing and feeling heard and understood. My basic approach to therapy is Person Centered, which purports unconditional positive regard. The interventions I use are eclectic and tailored to the unique and individual needs of each client. I work from a holistic and strength based philosophy to assist clients in going within to find their truth and act upon it by living a life worth living based on self-discovery.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Mary is the first therapist I've had that listens and wants to understand. She offers advice and is truly amazing at what she does.
I highly recommend Mary she is great! She is understanding and a great listener. She also offer tools to help me move foward to reaching my goals. She offers a variety of times and a variety of how to meet. She is helping me in big ways.
Talking to Mary feels like talking to a friend who happens to have therapist superpowers! I look forward to each meeting session with her (even if I don't have anything substantial to discuss).
Mary helped through an extremely difficult break up. She guided me through all of the roller coaster emotions I had and helped me understand how to handle it all. Her responses to my daily journaling allowed me to feel heard and understood rather than alone and crazy. Her patience with me was essential in my healing.
I look forward to speaking with Mary.
Great therapist, helps yo solve issiues and listens to the couple to help solve issiues
I am grateful to have found you, the universe helped me out again

Mary is so great. I look forward to talking to her and she always has great ideas and really listens and hears you. She remembers everything I tell her and she is so encouraging.
I am very pleased with the sessions in correspondence so far.
Thank you Mary your wonderful
Mary is absolutely wonderful! She is constantly listening and helping me reflect on past issues and current ones.
Mary is very kind and helpful. I like the way she listens and asks questions.
Mary has been the most wonderful therapist :) She really helped find the root cause of my issues and had plenty of coping skills & techniques to help me with my issues & past trauma. Highly recommend her to be your therapist :)
Mary is the best!
Mary was very well rounded in her knowledge of therapeutic approaches. I felt comfortable opening to her. I look forward to our next session. I am grateful that you can accommodate me by having my session at 7 or 8pm in the evening PST.
Mary listens and take notes. She applying "associations" well.
I an still on a cloud having a thoughtful and evocative therapist. I was a little concerned if I'd be paired correctly. The choice of Mary as my therapist was way beyond my expectations and delight!
Mary is amazing and she makes me feel seen and heard. I never feel like I’m being judged for being who I am. I’ve had 5 sessions with her so far and she’s been a gem ❤️
I appreciate that she listens to the details. She asks questions that help provide clarity for me in the challenging situations I’m working through. I appreciate her perspective and her support.
She didn't show up. I hope she is ok and that nothing happened to her, but, in the meantime, I'm anxious and pissed and upset and feel annoyed that I have to go back to the drawing board and wait a few more weeks for an appointment with someone who won't stand me up.
Mary has been great and is very much aware of what she is doing and my life has gotten better thanks to Mary Baez
