About me
My name is Mary Slaton, LPC, NCC. I earned my counseling degree from Loyola in 2001, and my certification in meditation from Chopra Institute in 2021. When everything is aligned in our lives, we feel happy and fulfilled, but we all encounter obstacles. At times, we need encouragement and guidance to find our way back. Seeking counseling shows a belief in your ability to bring about positive change in your life.
I am here to assist you and encourage you as you explore alternatives that lead to the satisfying life you envision. I believe that we are goal-oriented, but we are sometimes unaware of how we're trying to gain that feeling of significance and satisfaction. Along the path to achieving your goals, it helps me to find out about the various areas of your life, such as social, spiritual, love, self, and work. As we explore the various areas of your life, we’ll discover patterns. As we uncover these, we can determine what is working for you, so we can explore ways of increasing these positive experiences in other areas of your life.
I believe people have the capacity for self-awareness and the ability to resolve their problems with support and assistance. So many people wander through life feeling like there's more or that things could be different, so thank you for taking that brave step toward setting the goals that will bring you the relief, happiness, and joy that we all seek.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Slaton. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She makes me feel seen, heard, and known. Has helped me through so much.
Mary is the greatest!! Really
This is my second time with Mary and once again she’s been nothing short of amazing! She is there when you need her, she devotes her time to truly help you along your journey. Mary and I were a power team and she helped me validate my feelings and develop strategies to over come the conflicts I faced. I feel so much more confident after my sessions with her. Because of her I am ready to take on the world!
Mary has been my therapist for over a year now. She has been absolutely amazing in helping me grow and understand my feelings. I look forward to working with her more.
Very empathetic and down to earth, always available and provides great feedback and support!
Mary is responsive and understanding, She is a great listener and helps me understand myself better. She also has great ideas on how to make my thinking more clear and helpful. I look forward to our sessions.

Mary is a great professional - attentive, understanding and supportive. She digs deep into your story and gives a tailored advice.
I’ve only had one session with Mary so far but she seems like a perfect fit for me! I’m really happy that I kept searching until I found the right counselor for me.
I've never felt, ever in my life, like I really had someone in my corner like I do when I talk to M.
She gives me the space to say the things I didn't know I needed to say & she gives advice that's completely free of woo-woo.
Our therapeutic relationship has changed my life.
She is phenomenal and has helped me a ton!
Mary has been a good helper for me.
Mary is extremely supportive and helpful. She is an attentive listener and offers great tips and tools to assist me in tackling some of the issues I face daily. I’m fortunate to have her to talk to!
Mary has been instrumental in helping me out of a low point in my life. She is an amazing listener and seems to always know the right thing to say. It’s comforting to know that she has my back and is rooting for me to succeed!
Mary has done so much to help me work through many tough situations. I always feel like she invested in my journey and a strong ally in my corner. She is always supportive and cheers on your accomplishments while also making sure that set backs never feel like failure but an opportunity to learn something new.
Mary is AMAZING! She helped me through so much trauma from toxic relationships and helped me to realize my sense of self-worth and build confidence. I could not recommend her more! Mary listens so well and truly cares about her clients. She has done a great job of helping me through situations and feelings in my life that I didn't consciously realize were affecting me. Mary is very non-judgemental and professional and is SO easy to speak to. I was apprehensive initially about getting counseling and I am so glad that I did and that I found Mary. She has given me tools that I use daily that guide me through every up and down and has really helped me to manage my stress and find balance in my life. I have found so much happiness, strength, and confidence through working with her. Mary is wonderful, I highly recommend her!
Mary has been wonderful in the short time I have been working with her. She is honest, kind, understanding, efficient and knowledgeable. She responds quickly and with helpful information. She’s great!
I’ve only been meeting with Mary a short time, but I find her to be kind, patient, nonjudgmental and full of helpful incite. I feel confident in progressing on and wasn’t certain I would feel that way using an online format.
Mary is an amazing listener, and person. She made my freling feel validated, and not once passed judgment on me. She helps me take things step by step, and I appreciate her every step of the way.
Mary has equipped me with the tools to help me navigate my way through grief, stress and anxiety. The mechanisms Mary taught me in the first few weeks we had been in contact have helped me immensely and I am sure they will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Mary has a friendly, thoughtful nature and I feel very much at ease discussing my innermost feelings and experiences with her. Mary is both genuinely caring and professional, which I believe is the ultimate combination in a counselor.
Mary is very patient and understanding i am very comfortable,with discussing and trying to find solutions to problems with mary...
In only two sessions Mary has already taught me CBT tools, I feel less anxious and stressed and thankfully some relief. She is easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable, she has asked thought provoking questions and shown me a way forward.
Mary seems to be a well trained counselor. She always understands my situation and is very respectful. She delivers good advice that has helped me deal with my current issues. Since we live in different time zones it sometimes takes a while to respond to each other, but of course that's not her fault. During our live sessions she is very comforting and will always listen to what I have to say.
