As a mental health therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals of all ages as they navigate life's challenges. With a degree in clinical mental health counseling from Marymount University and over 7 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My specialization in working with children and teens allows me to provide tailored support for young individuals facing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and familial conflict.
Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.
Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.
Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.
I am an experienced psychotherapist with a passion to help individuals in their healing journey, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. My area of expertise is trauma recovery. I strive to create safe environments for clients to explore their experiences while supporting them in building fulfilling lives. I earned my Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002 and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2009.
Hi, I'm Mary. I work with individuals 16+ struggling with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I have over a decade of experience in the mental health field, with specialized training in trauma, crisis intervention, and eating disorder treatment.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and substance misuse services. I also have a postgraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, and am passionate about helping folks with post-psychedelic integration. Our therapeutic partnership begins with the understanding that you are a whole person — not a diagnosis, a symptom, or a set of circumstances. Together, we will explore how the intersections of identity, lived experience, trauma, mental health, and substance use shape your inner world and outer life across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.
I work with adults 18+ and families navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, burnout, boundaries, communication breakdown, relationship conflict, and emotional cycles that feel stuck. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and grounded in real-world tools that fit your life. You should know this isn’t about perfection or starting fully “ready”—it’s about being met where you are, making sense of what’s been heavy, and building clarity, resilience, and momentum forward in a supported space.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Stafford
Searching for therapists in Stafford starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and background fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they structure sessions and what kind of support they typically offer.
Stafford is a smaller market, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger areas of Virginia. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Virginia. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you spot practical fit signals, such as communication style, session format, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Stafford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
