Mary is amazing. She is very experienced and well-educated. More than that, however, she and I truly personally click, and I feel as though we could be friends without the connection that therapy has created for us. I am so blessed to have her in my life and I have to thank BetterHelp for bringing us together.

The best therapist that I could’ve ever asked for!!! She is very attentive and at the same time will challenge you and make you more open minded about things that you never thought of and you’ll become a better version of yourself from it! Highly recommend!

Really love having Mary there to help guide me on my healing journey! She articulates scientific information in a way that is easily understood. She also uses different methods to attack the issue you’re having, like using worksheets and at home exercises.
On top of that she is a joy to do therapy with, I feel understood, cared for, and comfortable enough to opening up about things that, in the past would’ve caused shame.

Mary has been very insightful. She has helped me understand so much I such a short time. I’m in shock actually how enlightened I am in one month.
Written on Feb 27, 2023 after therapy with Mary for 4 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, parenting issues, and anger management
Mary Dawn is absolutely an incredible therapist. Not only does she have an extensive clinical, research, and practical background, but she is quite relatable and easy to talk with.
She has an almost uncanny sense of when I am ready to dig deep into something I've listed as an area I want to explore (with a host of resources to help), or when I simply need a wide open listening ear to download my week, thought and experiences. Even when it's the latter, she still asks gentle, insightful questions that remind me that while sometimes we're all just coping with life's challenges, she's here to help me move forward and grow.
Every single session has ended with something that helps me in my process, and that's a very special quality in a therapist.
Written on Feb 05, 2023 after therapy with Mary for 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes
Mary is a wonderful and compassionate therapist. She has been so supportive and understanding that it has allowed me to understand things about myself I never did. Working with her has made, and will continue making me stronger. I will always appreciate the work she does and her advocacy of me, even when I don't have the strength to advocate for myself.

Ms. Weston was very kind, caring, and explained my underlying issues in a very straightforward and relatbale manner.

Mary has been nothing but caring and supportive. She challenges me to be honest with myself and look at things for what they are. She hears me and lets me express myself fully without judgment or negativity. I always enjoy my conversations with her, and would gladly recommend her to anyone else who struggles with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and/or personal growth!

Mary is a very good therapist. She has real world experience as well as the educational background to go through the science behind phycology. She is a definite asset to better help and to her clients. I love working with her and it always helps me to see things from other perspectives and helps me work through the challenges of my life. She has inspired me to start my college career as a Phycology Major with a focus on mental health. She has shown me a brighter future for myself to heal and come full circle to come back and help others.

I didn't know what to expect. I haven't tried therapy before, but she's fantastic. I have a hard time opening up on anything that's really bothering me to the point I hide it from myself. I've come to realize that a lot of of my work stress that was my initial issue wasn't the actual cause. It was my Dad's health problems and how it's impacting my family. It was just easier to try to deal with work stress than acknowledge what's happening to my Dad. I didn't even realize that was what was happening until she pointed it out to me.
