Mary Carlisle
The decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one, what's a right therapist and hard work the benefits can be endless. I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe and comfortable to share, learn, and grow.
First session
The purpose of the first session is is to meet and discuss current issues, presenting symptoms and history so that the therapist can get an accurate assessment. Once there's an accurate assessment, the therapist and client can discuss treatment options.I always check in at the end of the first session to make sure the client is comfortable moving forward and answering any questions.
Strengths
I am professional but at the same time it genuine, relatable and empathetic. My priority is tocreate an environment where clients feel safe to share.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients navigating life transitions that may be exacerbating symptoms of anxiety and depression. I have additional training in maternal mental health and enjoy working with women pregnant and postpartum. I am a circle of security parenting trained facilitator and so have knowledge and expertise on creating healthy relationships between care fixer and child. I also have significant experience working with clients with trauma. I like to mix modalities based on clients needs. I am well versed in CBT, ACT, DBT, and mind/body work.
