She is a great person and I can see this through the way that she works with me. Working with her to better my mental health has helped in so many ways that when I’m in therapy with her as my therapist, my life seems a lot better
Written on Dec 17, 2021 after therapy with MaryAnn for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes
MaryAnn is amazing! I'm incredibly grateful for the support they've given me over the past couple of months. Always ready to listen and provide advice and feedback, both via chat and in live sessions, their style is supportive and compassionate, never judgemental. Their advice and explanations are direct and on point, including some great reading and film recommendations, and the homework was incredibly useful and pertinent.
Most of all I won't forget our first session, when I was overwhelmingly anxious about a big change in my life and I shared many very personal details about it. I was expecting to have to defend my position, but I received nothing but support and kindness without a hint of judgement.

I recommend MaryAnn whole-heartedly. She is compassionate and understanding. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the specific social, relational, and psychological issues that LGBTQIA+ folks experience and she’s able to translate that knowledge into tangible therapeutic intervention. My only wish I that had started with MaryAnn years earlier. I’m so grateful to have been matched with her through PrideCounseling.

MaryAnn has been tremendously helpful with me. She has been my support system in being sober and recovering from loads of trauma. Through tons of EMDR sessions and talk sessions, I am proud to say I am 14 months sober without a single relapse, PTSD symptom free, and genuinely happy. I couldn’t have done it without MaryAnn.

I had for years put off getting help or had seen more physicians who often felt generic or didn't feel appropriate or comfortable for my situation. Joining this counseling was one of the best decisions I have made this year. My counselor, MaryAnn, has shown great commitment, care, empathy, & understanding & has provided me with the tools to help me navigate my everyday & I feel excited to heal & regain a sense of agency. Thank you!

MaryAnn has been an amazing councilor. I have made lots of progress thanks to her expert counciling
Written on May 15, 2021 after therapy with MaryAnn for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship issues
MaryAnn has been my councilor for the last five weeks. I went in with major issues. She very quickly identified them and verbalised them to me, which made them clearer in my mind. Then she started to work on dismantling them using multiple disciplines eg CBT,EMDR, etc.
I am now a transformed man. I feel much better and able to confront those issues with ease.
She is insightful, empathetic, Frank and open. She always follow up with messages to make sure all is good between sessions.
I can not recommend her enough. She is a star

MaryAnn is so supportive and knowledgeable. If I do not message in a couple of days, she will message first to "check in" with me. She makes me feel as though she sincerely cares about my problems and well-being. I appreciate her guidance to work through the challenges I am dealing with. I know I am not alone in the struggle. I would highly recommend her!

I am so grateful for having MaryAnn as my therapist during this difficult time. Asking for help was the best decision I’ve made during the pandemic. MaryAnn is compassionate and direct. She reminds me of my strengths and gently guides me each session towards my higher self. Remembering even the smallest details that I share makes me feel truly heard and seen. I have seen a lot of improvement in my self esteem and self talk since I’ve started talking to her. Life is better with this kind of support on my side. Thank you

I’ve been through half a dozen therapists over many years, and MaryAnn is the first one that I feel I’ve truly gained value from. She has respected me, listened mindfully, and delivered useful perspective and advice in a way that I can easily hear it.
Kind, engaged, masterful.

MaryAnn is the best. She listens to you and really cares about you. She gives me a boost in my day every time I talk to her. I really feel like she cares for me as if I was her child. She always checking on you to see how you’re doing and helps you get the help you need.

Mary helped me to overcome my terrible childhood which still affected me. She helped me trust my judgement, build confidence and gave me the knowledge to identify toxic people before they affect my life, I am forever grateful for that.

I've had a handful of sessions with MaryAnn so far, and she has already been a very big help in my journey towards betterment. She is inquisitive, punctual, very intuitive, headstrong, and empathetic. She doesn't mince words and communicated very directly. She is very respectful and supportive, but is also very clear and direct about the steps necessary towards recovery.

I was matched with MaryAnn and she was extremely quick in reaching out! She was a great listener and was very knowledgeable about the situation I was going through. She provided good suggestions and great resources that could help me and she checked in often to see how I was doing. I would definitely recommend working with her!
Written on Sep 25, 2020 after therapy with MaryAnn for 1 month
Clear with her words and with caring intention MaryAnn helped me see some things from a new perspective very quickly. Was initially skeptical of a remote solution to therapy, but MaryAnn proved to be an excellent resource for me. My advice to anyone hesitating to try this out would be to dive in and trust MaryAnn to help you swim with the current of life.
