I’m Mary de Guzman, PhD, LCSW. For more than 25 years I’ve walked alongside caregivers, older adults & families facing the challenges of dementia, aging, chronic illness and end-of-life transitions. I’m licensed in both Arizona and Hawaii, and deeply committed to making sure my clients have a safe place to breathe, process, reconnect with themselves & learn practical ways to cope. My clinical focus centers on caregiver well-being, grief, burnout & the emotional impact of progressive & chronic illness. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to cope with ongoing changes in their life.
I specialize in supporting those who are 65+, caregivers, those impacted by dementia, families, individuals navigating aging, and end-of-life transitions. A blend of decades of experience with specialized dementia training and a strong research-based foundation from my doctoral work helps me understand multiple complexities in your life.
In our first few sessions, you can expect a calm, supportive space to share your story and identify what you most need—whether that’s emotional support, education or effective coping tools. You can expect a warm, collaborative approach tailored to your unique situation.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With evidence-based tools, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
