Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Mary Xavier. I am a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a supportive and collaborative therapeutic approach to guide clients through meaningful change. My areas of focus include navigating life stressors, relationships, and grief, as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a blend of trauma-sensitive therapeutic approaches, tailored to your specific needs and goals. Treatment modalities that are commonly used include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness.

What you can expect from me

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard. Combining kindness with direct communication, I work collaboratively with you to get straight to the heart of the issue. Together, we will navigate the challenges effectively and efficiently to help you achieve meaningful progress.
