Life is unexpected and sometimes we struggle with finding our path. My goal in therapy is to work with my clients on being comfortable with vulnerability. I believe that consciously choosing to not hide your emotions or desires from others is key to healing and growth. In therapy I learn about and help my clients use their unique strengths to help them resolve current conflicts. I am working on certification in perinatal care and menopause. My focus is primarily assisting women experiencing depression and anxiety, but I also take male clients.

Do you find that you regularly battle with your body and brain? Second guessing what to say, ashamed of your body, and judgmental of your thoughts? Do you utilize food to avoid emotionally or to force your body into a different look? Is trauma impacting your relationships? You are not alone. Health is not a static place to achieve that defines who you are as a person, rather it is a continuum we have that ebbs and flows as we engage in our lives. As we continue to strive for unachievable perfection, we end up with intrusive, ruminative negative thoughts and in a constant power struggle with our brain and body.

Currently accepting new teletherapy clients! Your story is worthy and important. Sometimes we need some armor to get us through life's challenges and the more difficult chapters. I provide a nonjudgmental and safe space to my clients as they process their story. Together, we work to get to the root of the issue as well as provide "armor" to build resilience, coping skills, and promote healing.

Life can be overwhelming at times, leading to anyone becoming stuck. Stuck in relationships, stuck in day to day experiences, or even stuck wondering how it feels to be whole again. I believe there is hope in each individual that can be resurrected or revived through a healthy and compassionate therapeutic relationship, leading to one experiencing wholeness as they discover their strengths that help them to thrive. I strongly believe in providing empathic, safe, and non- judgmental space that allows individuals to process their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in the moment.

Couples tend to be the relationship dynamic most likely to seek out therapy, but all relationships are important. Relationships I work with include, but are not limited to: marital, intimate partner, co-parent, sibling, friend, and workplace relationships. We tend to find ourselves repeating old patterns of attachment and communication created during formative years. This can lead to feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected. While two people are required to create a pattern in a relationship, one person can often effectively change the dynamic through learning new skills, setting healthy boundaries, and improving communication.

We are presented with opportunities in life where we experience an invitation to grow and heal, and we benefit from support in mapping out this journey. We may be engaged in a behavior that is no longer helpful or be experiencing symptoms that are related to life stressors. At times, we may find ourselves in an unexpected times of crisis and upheaval. We are all on paths of healing in some sense, and it is my privilege to assist my clients in coping with life stressors and moving towards a life of fullness and thriving. Therapeutic work helps us find our courage to heal and move forward, and to trust in the process of change.

During hard times, we can lose our sense of self and struggle to get it back. We are all complex multifaceted people with many different parts of us, which can often cause symptoms that get in the way of relationships, productivity, or cause feelings of depression, anxiety and hopelessness. Together, let's work to recover your sense of well-being and then build a life where you are thriving beyond your struggles. I utilize IFS as a primary modality as well as take an eclectic approach, meaning I use a variety of techniques based on what your situation calls for, at the time you need it the most.

I believe that everyone has the ability to change, to grow, to learn, and to feel better. I know how hard it can be to seek therapy services and I want to help you navigate this step so that you can feel healthier and happier. If you are seeking help with making life changes, learning how to more effectively cope with mental health, relationship struggles, trauma(s), substances, your self worth, managing life adjustments, or letting go of the past I can help you.

Seeking a therapist for yourself can be overwhelming. Managing past trauma, your relationship with food and your body, experiencing perinatal mental health struggles and postpartum challenges, and the emotional burden of fertility treatment, can be incredibly stressful. At Simply Known, we are deeply committed to empowering individuals to find profound growth and healing. Together, we can help you find the courage to heal from the past, turn down the negative voice in your mind, choose healthy coping skills to build resiliency, and trust yourself to create the life you love.

I value your trust in me as you take this important step to make desired changes to your life. In therapy, we'll explore your unique strengths so you may use them to make positive changes. You may count on respect, compassion and support from me, whatever issues you bring to my office. Reasons people seek my help include: negative self-talk, perfectionism, anxiety and panic attacks, traumatic memories, depression, obsessive thoughts, grief and loss, addiction and relationship issues. Many also see me for help making major life changes or making important decisions. Please visit my website: www.marybradleytherapy.com.

Food was my best friend and my worst enemy. I would constantly anticipate the pleasure of eating something and simultaneously fight every impulse to "give in". If you are caught up in a war with food and your body, I get it. It probably feels like you're all alone in it, a warrior fighting a hidden battle that no one else can see, and you're desperate to win. I've been on the battle field too, and I found my way out. As a health coach and counselor, I have 15 years of experience working with women who struggle with emotional eating, binging, and over-eating.
