Mary Parker, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mary!

I'm dedicated to empowering you to overcome present challenges and lead a more productive, abundant life. My ability to listen, understand, and help you recognize your internal strengths drives the work we'll do together.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, and minors facing ADHD, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, coping skills, domestic violence, women's issues, substance use, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

My approach

I approach therapy by utilizing a variety of modalities tailored to each client's specific needs. This includes cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, trauma-sensitive approaches, motivational interviewing, and biblical counseling for those with a similar faith.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, compassionate communication and create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express yourself. Together, we'll identify your goals, build upon your strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you navigate life's challenges with increased resilience and self-awareness.

My goals for you

My ultimate goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and self-understanding necessary to lead a more fulfilling life. Through our work together, I aim to help you develop greater emotional regulation, improved relationships, enhanced self-esteem, and a clearer sense of purpose. I am committed to supporting you on your journey.

Our first session

During our first session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance and creating a safe, comfortable space for you to share your story. I will listen attentively to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Together, we will begin to identify the key areas you wish to address in therapy.
