Therapists in South Burlington, VT

I believe in creating a kind, supportive space where people are welcomed as their whole selves and given opportunities to grow. Everyone has the inherent capacity to heal and I will walk beside you as you deepen your relationship with yourself, build self-compassion, and develop lasting change. I have a warm and supportive style while also encouraging deeper work and self-inquiry. In our work together, you can expect to connect with your intuitive wisdom, practice embodiment, and find groundedness.

I help people to look within and find the inner strengths they have to overcome problems. This is achieved by guiding them in a process that discovers their best way of expressing themselves in a healthy manner. I like to think outside of labels and assist you in finding success in all areas of life, whether it be home, school or work.

I am a licensed therapist working with adults and specializing in anxiety, ADHD/neurodivergence, and depression. Together, we process life experiences, help you gain a better understanding of yourself, and explore skills to minimize symptoms and improve overall well being, however you define it. Specifically with ADHD/neurodivergence, I support people in better understanding how their brain works, learn strategies, improve functioning, and improve their self-esteem.

My goal is to create a supportive environment in which my clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential. I take an open-minded approach to client wellness and consider the client's work life, family traditions, cultural and spiritual beliefs, and sexual identity. I offer counseling for individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in attention deficit disorder across the life span, couple and family conflict, parenting and blended families, depression, anxiety and stress, communication issues, trust issues, sexual concerns, loneliness, emotional intimacy, trauma and self-esteem issues.

Hello - I am a counselor who is also a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse with 40 years of experience, including 20 years of practicing Clinical Hypnosis for a myriad of issues: anxiety, trauma, depression, and pain, to name but a few. I also train clinicians to utilize Clinical Hypnosis and am an Approved Consultant for the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I focus on finding and treating the cause of the symptoms and in this way, most symptoms are markedly reduced and, often gone altogether. As a client, you and I would team up together and work cooperatively as a team!

Counseling for the neurodiverse who are ready to take control of their day-to-day and start living a more fulfilled and joyful life. I get it, your brain works so fast it’s impossible to get your thoughts organized. All the distractions and the inability to communicate clearly makes every day feel like an overwhelming rollercoaster ride of chaos. The nagging feeling of always letting everyone down, including yourself, has real consequences. Let’s rewrite your perception of your story to take back your power.

Mary (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Vermont. Viewing people as experts of their own experiences, Mary aims to create a supportive and collaborative environment where children, families, and adults advocate for their needs, feel multitudes of emotions, explore their thoughts, and gain knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of the human experience and to change patterns.

Life can be tough and difficulties are unavoidable, but counseling can help strengthen your internal resources so you can navigate stressors more effectively. I work with adults to help them manage stress, ease anxiety & depression, and increase self-awareness. My approach is based in empathy & curiosity, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment. At a pace that is comfortable, we’ll work collaboratively to explore and process thoughts & feelings, clarify personal goals, and identify barriers to growth. Together we may explore strengths, practice skills, and identify strategies to facilitate the change you desire.

I currently have openings for short-term therapy in the form of "Therapy Intensives" only. I do not currently have openings for weekly individual, couples or family therapy. Therapy Intensives are typically about 4 hours in length but only happen 1-3 times. Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. Therapy Intensives are ideal for folks navigating a specific incident or traumatic experience. If you are unsure if this is the right model for you or your family, you may schedule a one-time paid consultation to clarify your treatment needs and goals.

Seeking support is courageous and a strength to be cultivated. Throughout life we encounter hardships, losses, and transitions, often uncovering emotions and experiences that are difficult to sit with. Despite obstacles there is an inherent human capacity for learning and growth, and in therapy we explore how to tap into these inner resources and break free of patterns that no longer serve you. Through introspection, curiosity, embodiment, and authenticity, I believe you can come into better relationship with yourself and others.

You want to feel confident and in control of who you are, but deep down you are struggling with the pressure to have it all together. You never feel good enough. You're tired and frustrated, you overthink and constantly second-guess yourself. It might be hard to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You're ready to feel safe and connected in your relationships. You're ready to feel fulfilled in your work, creativity, and passions. Most of all, you're ready to love yourself fully and experience hope.

I believe we all possess a natural wisdom and an ability to heal, and at times we need support in getting in touch with those abilities. I work with clients to facilitate a deeper awareness into challenges and strengths, in an individualized way. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and families with particular interests in trauma/PTSD, substance use, family relationships, parenting and a variety of other concerns. I use a holistic approach to therapy informed by strengths-based, person-centered, expressive arts, and narrative techniques.

*** I am NOT taking new clients at this time*** I am an advance-trained clinical hypnotherapist and LCMHC. I have personally experienced the healing and growth that comes from using clinical hypnotherapy within a supportive therapeutic milieu. I find the accelerated, effective results from clinical hypnosis very impressive and enjoy helping others heal and actualize change with this powerful technique. I approach counseling from a client-centered perspective, meet people where they are at, and help them get to where they want to be without judgement or pressure.

Life can often feel difficult, confusing or overwhelming. Seeking help and finding the right counseling relationship can be challenging as well. My goal is to help you connect to your own inner guidance system. As an existentialist and a feminist counselor, it is my belief that people need to find a sense of purpose and meaning within themselves because the world outside doesn't always make sense. The stories we have told ourselves or been told about ourselves can have a significant impact on how we feel. The result can be depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, or confusion.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the basis of long-lasting change. As a clinician, I strive to offer a safe space where no problem feels too big or small and all feel welcome. I am passionate about working with clients using a strengths-based lens to find the root causes of undesired thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while encouraging healing through empathy and compassionate support. I practice through an emotion-focused, mindfulness, and feminist lens, although I incorporate eclectic modalities to best suit my client’s needs.

We are co-creators, lead by you, the expert in your healing and challenges. In a non pathologizing relationship that is rooted in trust, empathy, and curiosity, we can sit with difficult feelings, symptoms and experiences. Together we cultivate self-understanding and acceptance as they are the sources of empowerment and authenticity. In order to heal, we must sift through painful experiences, narratives, and feelings. Therapy is difficult and rewarding work that requires bravery, authenticity, and self-forgiveness. Acknowledging our growth edges while also releasing burdens that are no longer serving us.
