Now accepting new clients! My ideal client is a person who feels stuck—whether in a difficult relationship, a season of anxiety and depression, or as someone navigating the impact of past trauma. They might be grappling with emotional wounds from childhood or facing the challenges of being in or leaving a destructive relationship. What they deeply desire is to feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their life. They want to heal from the pain that has kept them stuck and to rediscover their own strength and worth.

You can love your partner and still feel incredibly far away from one another.
Clients often tell me they feel safe being honest with me, even about things that feel really hard to say out loud. On the other side of working together is the life and relationship you actually want, not just the one that was passed down to you. More aliveness, playfulness, pleasure...

My name is Mary Sheppard and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My overall approach to therapy is person centered, and I believe all individuals are unique and have their own personal values and ideals that can support self fulfillment. My therapeutic approach is heavily influenced by a humanistic theoretical framework. I also work in an integrated systems approach that is solution focused with a heavy emphasis on trauma, adverse childhood experiences, grief and loss and families with inter generational trauma.

Such conditions can affect individuals, as well as couples and families.
My approach is grounded in the science of cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive-behavioral therapies. I largely utilize acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, to approach emotional and psychological goals. I address goals for thinking skills (e.g., memory, attention) using an evidenced-based cognitive rehabilitation program called CogSMART.

I’m especially passionate about helping couples cultivate a happier and healthier partnership or marriage.
Navigating life’s most challenging moments can leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. But with the proper support, it’s possible to feel empowered and regain a sense of direction. Whether you’re experiencing relationship difficulties, managing a mental health condition, coping with the loss of a loved one, or facing other personal struggles, know that healing is possible. In my practice, I draw on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help clients make meaningful changes and work toward their therapy goals in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

This guides my approach to psychotherapy and my approach to working with those that are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or discouraged. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, engaging, interactive, and strength-based approach to therapy that is tailored to each client's specific needs.

Specializing in trauma-informed therapy for individuals, families, and couples, I believe in the innate capacity for healing within us all, and I'm here to provide the necessary support to uncover the roots of your challenges and develop individualized strategies for healing.
As a Mental Health Therapist, I embarked on my journey of self-development in 2014, catalyzed by a life-altering panic attack during a traumatic event. Initially feeling isolated in my struggles, I sought help and immersed myself in various modalities aimed at nurturing my soul back to health. Through years of introspection and growth, I came to appreciate the profound significance of therapy as a safe haven, cultivating self-awareness, and harnessing the transformative potential of cognitive techniques. That's when I made the choice to transition from my role as an engineer to become a therapist.
