Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my bio! My name is Mary and I come to you with over twenty years of clinical experience in psychiatric and addiction treatment. I completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work at SUNY Albany- a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-R (LCSW-R) and also have my certification as a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). I work with adults, youth and families who are committed to healing and growth. Currently, I operate a full-time teletherapy private practice. I offer a variety of techniques, appropriately directed toward age and developmental stage of the client.
My nearly fifteen years as an inpatient psychiatric Therapist at Four Winds-Saratoga prepared me for advanced clinical practice and a unique skill set focusing on a variety of evidenced based techniques. My goal is to thoroughly assess, diagnose and collectively establish a treatment plan with you and/or you and family.
Coping with the issues that face teens and families today is a huge challenge for us all. Together, we can work to understand the strengths and shortcomings you possess to find direction and grow. Joining the therapy process is the most important step you can take in this journey!
