Mary Parker

Hi, I'm Mary Parker, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges, find balance, and create meaningful change.

I believe mental health is about more than managing symptoms. Our emotional well-being is connected to our relationships, experiences, physical health, and the way our brains respond to stress. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on understanding you as a whole person.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and overwhelming stress. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and compassion-focused techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals.

As the founder and Clinical Director of Infinite Potential in Round Rock, Texas, I've dedicated my career to helping people better understand themselves and discover what's possible when they have the right support.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to change, we'll work together to build practical tools, gain insight, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I'd be honored to be part of your journey.

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported, but also where you leave with tools and insights you can use in your everyday life.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take time to understand your experiences, relationships, challenges, and goals so we can identify what's keeping you stuck and what meaningful progress looks like for you.

I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), compassion-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. My style is conversational and supportive, but I'm also direct when needed. I'll help you recognize patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop healthier coping skills, and build confidence in your ability to navigate life's challenges.

I also take a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, physical health, hormones, and lifestyle can influence emotional well-being.

My goal isn't for you to stay in therapy forever. It's to help you develop the understanding, skills, and confidence to create lasting change in your life.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

When working with adults, our first appointment focuses on gathering information about your experiences, current challenges, personal history, and what you hope to accomplish through counseling. We'll explore the areas of your life you'd like to focus on and begin identifying goals that are meaningful and realistic for you.

When working with children, the first appointment is typically with the parent or caregiver. This allows us to discuss your child's history, strengths, challenges, and your concerns, as well as identify goals for treatment before beginning individual sessions with your child.

You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet. Our first session is simply the starting point for developing a personalized approach that fits your needs, priorities, and goals. We'll move forward together at a pace that feels comfortable and productive.
