LCSW, 10 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Mary Sowah-Quaye, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of California State University in Bakersfield. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, and relationships issues.
During our first session, I will introduce myself and get to know you, by asking you a few questions.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, empathetic, and client-centered. My approach combines person centered, cognitive behavioral therapies and motivational interviewing. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I look forward to helping you when you are ready.
I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, beginning at age 18.
I utilize CBT, behavioral activation, motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief, and strength-based approach to help clients that are seeking the key to unlocking their best selves.
I integrate the love of Christ with therapeutic techniques such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and systemic approaches. This combination of faith and science allows us to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences while staying grounded in your spiritual beliefs.
Teaching clients (and sometimes their families or support systems) about their mental health conditions, emotional challenges, coping strategies, and the therapeutic process itself. It’s an essential component of many therapy models and can be delivered individually, in groups, or in family sessions.
Using goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps clients focus on solutions rather than problems.
