Dr. Mary Hollingsworth

Are you in a stuck place in life right now? Even though life can be great and wonderful, there are also moments when we feel stuck — like nothing is happening, or like we are sitting on a shelf while life passes us by. I like to help people become like redbuds, those beautiful flowering plants that can bloom vibrantly even in the cold of winter.

I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, stress management concerns, women’s issues, family issues, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, panic, sleep difficulties, relationship concerns, physical health issues, diabetes, and chronic conditions. My encouragement is to support you in discovering what you truly require for your best life, what may be keeping you stuck, and what can help you move from feeling dormant to living more vibrantly. Together, we can explore your current situation, identify your strengths, and begin creating a path toward greater clarity, healing, and meaningful change.

My approach is eclectic, holistic, and individualized to the needs of each client. I focus on integrating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — while assessing where you are now, what is keeping you stuck, and how to move toward a more vibrant and sustainable way of living.

Depending on your needs, I draw from Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Positive Psychology, Art Therapy, and EMDR. Our work may focus on managing anxiety, processing trauma, reducing stress, strengthening coping skills, improving emotional awareness, navigating grief or health-related challenges, and building a clearer sense of direction. I believe therapy should help you better understand your current situation while also giving you practical tools to move forward and maintain meaningful progress.

The free consultation session is an opportunity to explore what you may require for change and to get a sense of what I can contribute to that process. If you choose for me to join you on your journey toward change, our initial work will include assessing your current situation through conversation and, when helpful, assessment tools.

From there, we will use what we learn to plan together how to move forward. You can expect a supportive, creative, and collaborative space where your experiences are taken seriously and your goals guide our work. Over time, therapy can help you feel less stuck, manage stress more effectively, process painful experiences, strengthen resilience, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, hopeful, and vibrant.
