Mary Haynes, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mary!

I serve adults and have a background in helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion and skill. My training allows me to draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to support your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I primarily work with adults and teens. I have experience helping veterans with various clinical challenges, including posttraumatic stress disorder, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues.

My approach

I use a trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based approach. I am trained in several therapy modalities and primarily use Cognitive and Behavioral Approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, and others to help my clients achieve their goals.

My communication style

I am here to help you explore and overcome any challenges you are facing. I believe that no situation is hopeless and that, ultimately, we each have the inner strength and wisdom to overcome obstacles.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to a career in mental healthcare due to my creative and intuitive nature. With a background in performing arts, dance, and fitness, I wanted to use my skills to help others become their healthiest, best selves.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you overcome challenges in your life and reach your full potential. Together, we can work to build your coping skills, improve your relationships and self-esteem, and create positive, lasting changes.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what's bringing you to therapy and how I can best support you. I'll get to know you and we'll begin building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. We'll collaborate to develop your treatment goals and a plan tailored to your needs.
