Mary Van Hooser
Hello - my name is Mary Van Hooser. I am an older therapist with lots of experience working with a wide variety of mental health struggles. I am easy to engage with, like to listen and enjoy helping you explore and process the concerns you're having in a non-judgmental manner. I am a wife, mother of grown children and have young grandchildren.
I have lots of siblings, one having a chronic mental illness that has made me particularly non-judgmental and understanding of the impact this has on families.
