Maybe you aren't speaking to your kids, or maybe you are the kid or teen that just can't seem to get along with your parents or the people around you. Maybe things have gotten so bad that you've contemplated hurting yourself or suicide. Perhaps you're grieving a loss, a person, a job, a relationship. Or maybe you've tried to figure out why you're not as happy as you could be and you just can't.

Mary Kennington
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My therapy practice places a very strong emphasis on cognitive-behavioral skills, in addition to EMDR, emotional regulation methods,
mindfulness
, and physiological soothing strategies.
Cognitive therapy is the process of working together to create a strong foundation for both emotional well-being and life. Core building blocks for a solid foundation include changing distorted thoughts, altering irrational behaviors, learning physiological soothing skills (such as meditation and HRV breathing) and using methods of emotional regulation. It is also essential for a person to learn to embrace a sense of unconditional worth, to grow a sense of purpose, and to live by one's values/virtues. CBT is less about searching for insight and more about practicing strong habits, that over time, lead to deep satisfaction.

I'm a trauma-informed Addiction Counselor, Yoga Teacher, &
Mindfulness
Coach.
Seeking help for escapism, addiction, codependency, and automatic harmful habits is not just about discontinuing your use/attachments, ineffective behavior, or destructive coping patterns; believe it or not, recovery doesn’t even require you to admit you’re “powerless” or label yourself an "addict". I believe counseling is about examining your unique relationship with your attachments, identifying areas of growth, learning healthy tools to sustain recovery (boundaries, abstinence, or moderation), and aligning your actions with what’s important to you so you can create a life you love living without needing to numb or escape.

Mindfulness
principles are central in my work with clients.
Feeling overwhelmed? Mentally exhausted? Stuck? Disconnected from your true self or in your relationships? While these feelings can be brought on by a myriad of causes such a recent stressful event, grief, depression, or anxiety, one thing is certain. When we are bogged down by these emotions, we often are not showing up for ourselves or others the way we would like to. Author Jeanette Winterson eloquently states “The body shuts down when it has too much to bear; goes it’s own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time. Leaving you numb and half alive.” If you can relate, schedule an appointment today and let’s talk.
