Mary Weck, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mary!

I admire clients who show the courage to open up difficult areas of their lives to a stranger since we all need another perspective from time to time. I believe true humility is understanding oneself as capable of every other person's weakness, which embodies the attitude necessary for a healthy therapeutic relationship.

My focus

I excel with adolescents, individuals, trauma, substance abuse, and parenting issues.

My approach

I custom-tailor therapy to each individual. My favorite modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt, and a psychodynamic approach. I can offer a Christian, Biblically-based approach if desired.

My communication style

Without a comfortable and healthy therapeutic relationship, I feel most therapy fails. Therefore, a relaxed and calming atmosphere with trust is what I endeavor to provide.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always thought a life well-lived is one in service to others. I began my work with the elderly in care homes and then with the developmentally challenged. After this, I worked with severely emotionally disturbed children in residential treatment centers.

My goals for you

I think of goal setting as identifying symptoms, a collaborative effort, establishing priorities, and methodology, resulting in the final say belonging to the client.

Our first session

Clients can expect our first session to include getting to know one another, establishing my legal boundaries, and identifying the major areas of concern.
