Anxiety Therapists in La Verne, CA

My name is MaryCollette Ukattah, better known as Mary. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore yourself, your relationships, experiences, beliefs, and hopes. Everyone has a purpose, and I strive to inspire the discovery of your unique purpose. I encourage you to bring your whole self to therapy. Therapy should be a space where you can show up authentically without any fear of judgment. It should be a space where you feel heard, affirmed, and challenged. That is my approach to therapy.

We all go through difficulties at one point or another in our lives. It is natural to seek out connection and validation when we feel vulnerable. Rather than navigating these challenges on your own, therapy provides an opportunity where you can get support and learn new ways of coping to make meaningful changes in your life. In therapy, I create a supportive and safe space to help individuals process their current struggles and share their personal experiences in order to find healing and transformation.

Are you noticing that your past experiences, current high-stress environments, or new life transitions are impacting your mood, relationships with loved ones, and well-being? Are you feeling anxious, irritable, easily triggered, or overly stimulated? Are these symptoms impacting you as a partner, parent, child, friend, or employee? If so, you are not alone. The effects past traumas, high-stress environments (e.g., first responders, etc.), and life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, college, moving, etc.) can have on us are immense and they often linger in our day and limit us to be the best version of ourselves.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, wondering why you have strong reactions to small stressors or during interactions with others.

I am a psychologist specializing in behavioral interventions for anxiety, trauma, and depression. I obtained my PhD from UCLA in 2012 after working in the Anxiety Disorders Research Center. I then completed my clinical internship and a postdoctoral research fellowship at the National Center for PTSD in the VA Boston Healthcare system while a fellow at Harvard Medical School and the Boston University School of Medicine. In addition to my practice, I am currently an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of La Verne.

I struggled immensly with anxiety and depression for many years. In my teens and twenties I was in and out of emergency rooms because of panic attacks. In 1997 I started studying mindfulness meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn and everything changed from that point forward. Once I learned how to have better control over my thoughts and emotions, anxiety and depression became much easier to deal with. I became a therapist and mindfulness teacher to help others gain the same skills.
