Mary McAree-Lee

I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.

I specialize in Education and Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Behavioral Issues, Anxiety, Parenting, Self-Esteem, Stress, Adjustment Disorders and Spirituality.

I tend to have clients define what their needs, goals and desires are initially. As we progress and clients begin to uncover their dreams, hopes and desires for a better life and future, new goals and a sense of purpose generally emerge.
