Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who helps people feel more grounded, supported, and in control of their lives. I have a strong background in clinical social work and training in evidence‐based approaches that support healing and real change. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and helping clients build healthier patterns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered.
I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.
I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I completed my Master of Social Work in 1995 through the University of Texas at Arlington and am also a graduate of Texas Tech University where I completed my Bachelor of Human Development and Family Studies. I have over 30 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults with IDD.
I am Mary Nganga, a PMHNP-BC in state of Texas. I have more than 12 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with Bachelor in Nursing from University of Texas Arlington, and Masters in Nursing from Texas States University, San Marcos. My free time, I enjoy spending time my family, pet (Ruffy), and gardening.
