Mary Duke

My communication style

My communication style is open and welcoming, and I am easy to talk to and a good listener. My goal is to establish a strong sense of rapport, trust, and safety. I want my clients to feel heard and understood. I enjoy knowing that I can use my empathy and compassion to offer support in challenging times.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist while working in an early intervention program as a case manager. I was part of an early intervention team who were working with the Zero-to-Three special needs population. I was responsible for the intakes and realized that I had a natural ability to connect and help others.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative. Together, we will identify and clarify what you want to accomplish during our time together. During the initial sessions, we will work together to establish your specific goals and monitor your progress.

Our first session

Our first session is all about establishing a connection. We will talk about how you have been feeling lately and what your expectations are for our time together. It is very important that you feel safe and unjudged so that you will feel free to share your story and the reason for seeking out support.
