Life can look “fine” on the outside while still feeling overwhelming internally. Hi! I'm Mary and I am a Doctorally prepared nurse practitioner, mom and first responder wife. I have over nine years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most vulnerable moments and as a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, I take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood symptoms, and cognitive changes, often during periods of high stress or hormonal transition. My approach looks at the full picture including mental health, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being to develop personalized treatment plans. I combine medication management with practical strategies to help you feel more balanced, focused, and in control.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who works with women, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that come with trying to hold everything together.

Many of my clients are the people others rely on. They're hardworking, responsible, and often look like they're doing just fine from the outside. Internally, though, they may be struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, or the weight of past experiences that still show up in their everyday lives.

Dwan Bland

Dwan Bland

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hi, I’m Dwan! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts, with more than 15 years of experience supporting adults through some of life’s toughest—and sometimes most confusing—seasons. My journey into mental health started when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, with a natural curiosity about people and what makes us tick. That curiosity grew after my first psychology class in high school, eventually leading me to a career where I get to do what I’ve always wanted: help people feel better, understand themselves, and move forward.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy—trust me, none of us do! Life gets messy, overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a safe place to sort through it all. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and those moments when you’re simply thinking, “Okay...what am I supposed to do now?”

My style is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and judgment-free. Together, we’ll talk through the hard stuff, celebrate the wins (even the tiny ones!), uncover strengths you may have forgotten you have, and find tools that actually fit your life. I use approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and gratitude—but therapy with me isn’t about throwing a bunch of clinical terms at you. It’s about you, your story, and figuring out the next chapter together.
