As a bilingual clinician fluent in both Spanish and English, I possess a wealth of expertise in the mental health field. My graduate degrees in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis, alongside my ongoing doctoral studies in Counseling, have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of the human mind and the skills necessary to provide top-notch care for my clients. I am actively engaged with various national and international organizations focused on mental health, demonstrating my commitment to staying up-to-date on the latest developments in the field. Particularly, I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ individuals and trauma survivors. In fact, my work with trauma survivors at a large organization in NY serves as a testament to my dedication and passion for the field. My ultimate goal is to support my clients in identifying their core strengths and overcoming any obstacles that may impede their emotional growth, helping them to live a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Hello my name is Mary Kay and I am honored that you have taken the opportunity to seek online counseling through BetterHelp. We all sometimes need to seek guidance from another as we navigate through a traumatic life event, difficult life transition, or when we just feel "in a funk"/need an extra boost, inspiration, and/or motivation. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist (LCSW) in both California and New York States. I have over 25 years experience in the field of counseling and mental health. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work Clinical Counseling from Columbia University in New York. From a very young age, I have always had a gift for healing, listening, soothing and comforting others which I been able to channel into a life long career. My areas of specialties include treating: trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, healthy and positive parenting issues, PTSD, relational intimacy/couples issues, career guidance, and motivational coaching, among others. My approach to counseling and style within the sessions is based on Strength Based, Cognitive-Behavioral , mixed with Psycho-dynamic techniques. What this means, is that I am a neutral objective nonjudgmental "witness", of whom motivates, listens, validates, soothes, and encourage you on your life path. Most therapists do not "tell a client what to do". Instead I will help you to come up with the answers, choices and decisions from within yourself. I have a warm, kind and empathic counseling approach focused on getting to know your story, helping you to stabilize emotions, self-soothe, and challenge unhelpful core beliefs and cognitive distortions.

I am licensed in New York with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, life changes, issues with body image and weight loss, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My therapeutic style is fairly laid back and more personable while upholding professional guidelines and practices. My approach often, but not always, includes relating back to childhood roles and family dynamics as a way to help individuals understand how those things sometimes inform how one views themselves and informs choices one makes. At times, I will focus on patterns in a persons life in an effort to find the common denominator. I do not help answer "why" questions....but I do help answer "how" questions. "Why" questions are accusatory but "how" questions are inquisitive. For example, asking yourself, "Why did I do that when I knew it was going to be bad for me?" Only serves to accuse you of doing something wrong. Asking yourself, "How did I manage to convince myself to do that when I knew it was going to be bad for me" is a great way to explore all the things that informed your decision. When we know how we did something, we can then figure out how to do things differently. No matter what, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking this first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
