Dr. Mary Comperini

Everyone faces challenges at times, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, coping with trauma, navigating a major life transition, or facing relationship challenges, my goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m Mary Comperini, a licensed clinical psychologist in California and Wisconsin with more than 16 years of experience in California’s forensic and correctional mental health system. I have served in both clinical and executive leadership roles and understand the unique challenges faced by people working in high-stress environments.

I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology and a postdoctoral certificate in Forensic Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. I am board certified in Police and Public Safety Psychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology and am proud to be the first correctional psychologist to earn this distinction.

I provide telehealth therapy to adults throughout California and Wisconsin. I specialize in working with first responders, correctional professionals, parents experiencing estrangement from adult children, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs, using evidence-based therapies to help you build resilience and develop practical strategies for lasting change.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you think we might be a good fit, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

Please note: To avoid potential conflicts of interest, I am unable to provide psychological services to current California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) employees or individuals incarcerated within CDCR.
