Written on Feb 12, 2025 after therapy with Mary for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, and career difficulties
Mary has helped me categorize my issues and provided helpful tools to combat the relationship and internal issues I'm working thru.
Reframing what I'm dealing with in a way to be able to understand and work thru it or change the habits I have has been helpful. I'm and was skeptical of therapy because I'm particularly aware of how I feel and how others feel about it but having someone on your side and committed to help you broach tough subjects makes a difference. Thanks Mary.
