Written by J.U. on Jun 09, 2020 after counseling with Mary for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse

Mary has been an absolute angel to my venting. With a counselor that is well versed in LGBTQ community, it was easy to talk to her about my problems that I couldn't talk to other individuals about. Speaking with her made me feel confident and comfortable knowing someone was not dismissing of my beliefs or concerns.

Mary was great. She was attentive and responsive. She gave great suggestions. She was also able to relate to me or be understanding enough to communicate with me about certain subjects. I'm not sure that I got a complete healing from my counseling session but I'm greatful for the experience and conversations with her.

She's AWESOME. I was able to go some "hurdles" rather quickly. She brings out the best in you.

Written by D.E. on Apr 05, 2017 after counseling with Mary for 3 weeks on issues concerning grief

Mary is very easy to communicate with. She was honest, straight forward, non judgemental, and kind in her responses. Mary helped me with my emotions, my life history and plans that I needed to make for my future. I could not be more satisfied with the results of this experience.

Mary is prompt with her feedback, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Her insight is very helpful as I try to navigate through the pain and confusion of divorce. Thank you, Mary!

Awesome therapist that is guiding me through positive affirmations to change my mood and outlook on life, love being able to write, talk, and share ideas as often as I want during my week at my convenience. She hears and knows.

I appreciate Mary very much. I am an old man who has always resolved my own problems. Cue "My Way" with Frank Sinatra.

Mary's approach is perfect for me. Her insightful questions and responses are guiding me toward solutions.
