Mary Kirkman, LISW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate significant transitions, emotional struggles, and interpersonal dynamics with empathy and professional expertise.
I specialize in addressing mood disorders, relationship challenges, workplace stress, and family systems dynamics. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting women, caregivers, and individuals experiencing significant life transitions such as divorce, seasonal emotional shifts, and family restructuring.
Drawing from extensive clinical training, I offer a warm, collaborative therapeutic environment where clients can explore their emotional landscapes, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My work integrates evidence-based practices with a deep commitment to understanding each individual's unique journey and strengths.
I am dedicated to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard, validated, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating family challenges, or seeking personal transformation, I'm here to support you with professional care and genuine compassion.
