Mary Watts

My communication style

I create a warm, respectful, and comfortable environment where you feel safe and can be your true self. I want to become a trusted partner you can confide in. Once our therapeutic alliance is established, I'll challenge you as needed to help you grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

A friend who was a single mother and domestic abuse survivor told me I needed to help more women like her. I audited a Psychology class and found my calling. I still have that passion to help people in need and love the psychology of the mind.

My goals for you

In my initial session, I ask what brought you into therapy and what you hope to achieve in the short and long run. After each session, I review our progress toward your original goals and give you the opportunity to establish new goals as therapy moves forward.

Our first session

I want to get to know you and how you're doing and feeling that day. Then I explore what has brought you into therapy now, what symptoms you're experiencing, and how frequently. If you're under pressure and need to vent your feelings, that's okay with me.
