Couples Counseling Therapists in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY

When I started my career over 20 years ago, my focus was children and adolescents, and it has evolved to include couples , adults, and families. Self actualization, self love, self care, finding one's purpose, and the motivation to realize that purpose have been my forte. If you want to go on a journey of self discovery which informs who and how you are in your relationships with others and with yourself, I am here to help.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

I will work alongside you in discovering your inner strength and support you with the tools you need both in and out of session to help guide you to feeling better. I am goal oriented and person centered in my approach. I have prior experience in career counseling, disability advocacy, advising, and teaching. I also hold an advanced certificate in mental health counseling and a masters in school counseling.

With warmth, empathy and compassion, I provide psychotherapy to adults who are struggling with self-criticism, anxiety, grief, depression or relationship problems. I specialize in helping individuals heal from experiences of trauma and have expertise in women's issues that can impact mental health like pregnancy, parenting, infertility, menopause, and pregnancy loss. Finally, I offer therapy for couples and families who are wishing to heal from conflict, and improve relationship satisfaction.

Many clients are in search of deeper happiness and emotional resilience in their lives and relationships. Often, out of innocence, we look outside ourselves for fulfillment instead of inward, towards our own true hearts. For over 25 years I have worked with couples and individuals seeking a way out of isolation and emotional suffering towards greater joy. This is your time to be on the planet. If you struggle with self-defeating patterns and would like help shifting towards a more vibrant life, please call me for a free consultation.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am skilled in helping individuals address challenges such as Trauma and PTSD, Divorce, Sexual Abuse, negative thoughts and beliefs, and emotions. My therapy approach includes techniques such as trauma-informed care, CBT, life coaching, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR. I believe that change is always possible, and I am committed to guiding my clients through self-discovery and developing healthy coping strategies.

I believe that therapy can be a transformative tool in a person’s life. My holistic therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness and builds upon each person’s strengths. Change is possible for each of us — sometime it happens quickly, sometimes slowly — and I believe that it’s essential to show ourselves compassion along the way.

Talking helps. You might come to therapy because you’re looking for a place where you can say more - what you’re reluctant to say to others and what you may have never even said to yourself. Or you may be wanting to be understood. Or you may be seeking relief from discomfort. When we first meet, I take a keen and accepting interest in getting to know what’s most important to you.

Hello! My name is Mary Rayven Owens and I am a Transpersonal Psychologist, NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider. In addition to my clinical license, I am also trained and certified in Transpersonal Therapy from the International Institute for Consciousness Exploration and Psychotherapy in the Black Forest, Freiburg, Germany. I conduct individual, group and couples counseling to treat past/current traumas among other mental health dis-tressors. I cater to an inclusive clientele and I especially welcome members of the LGBTQQ, elder and NYPD community.

While therapy can sometimes remind us of pain we may have tried hard to push away, my hope is to help you access your intrinsic joy, creativity and compassion so you can connect to yourself and others in a more fulfilling way. I treat individuals and couples using an attachment-based perspective and help clients explore how early trauma necessitated adaptive coping strategies that can get in their way later in life.
