Mary has been such a gift to work with over the last several months. She is wise, kind and direct. She listens well and offers guidance and well meaning feedback. I appreciate the breadth of her knowledge and experience. She has helped me connect with both my heart and my soul, as well as my inner child. She’s helped me acknowledge. S accept that I have CPTSD (chronic ptsd, from childhood trauma) and take responsibility for how it effects me and my life and my relationships. I highly recommend her!

Mary is exactly who I was searching for! I interviews several therapists, and had sessions with a couple before finding the right fit with Mary. She guides lovingly from her professional expertise as well as her life experience. She challenges me to reflect and grow, to take accountability and consider my own deeper needs and desires. She’s compassionate and a clear and direct communicator. I really value Mary and the support and guidance she has offered me!

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.
