Hello! My name is Maryellen Crompton. I am an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I have close to twenty years of experience working in variety of settings including schools, outpatient therapy, inpatient facilities, nursing homes and a post-detox environment. I have my masters in marriage and family therapy. I work with clients facing many changes or challenges including educational, relationship issues, financial stress, parenting, care giving, trauma, chronic health issues, bereavement and recovery. During the therapy sessions, clients and I work together to develop a comfortable plan to achieve their goals. I like to look at the strengths of a client and assist the client with developing more skills to handle life's challenges. The session will help you to feel more able to cope and feel like you can move forward. I am telehealth certified. IF MY SCHEDULE DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU, PLEASE REACH OUT. Sometimes I have other days and evening appointments available not viewable.
