20 years offering treatment
My name is Mary Slaton, LPC, NCC. I earned my counseling degree from Loyola in 2001, and my certification in meditation from Chopra Institute in 2021. When everything is aligned in our lives, we feel happy and fulfilled, but we all encounter obstacles. At times, we need encouragement and guidance to find our way back. Seeking counseling shows a belief in your ability to bring about positive change in your life. I am here to assist you and encourage you as you explore alternatives that lead to the satisfying life you envision. I believe that we are goal-oriented, but we are sometimes unaware of how we're trying to gain that feeling of significance and satisfaction. Along the path to achieving your goals, it helps me to find out about the various areas of your life, such as social, spiritual, love, self, and work. As we explore the various areas of your life, we’ll discover patterns. As we uncover these, we can determine what is working for you, so we can explore ways of increasing these positive experiences in other areas of your life. I believe people have the capacity for self-awareness and the ability to resolve their problems with support and assistance. So many people wander through life feeling like there's more or that things could be different, so thank you for taking that brave step toward setting the goals that will bring you the relief, happiness, and joy that we all seek.

I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Psychology in 2012 and received my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019. Additionally, I am a certified teacher and spent 3 years working in education at the secondary level. At this time I am working to complete certifications in Perinatal Trauma Therapy as well as Trauma and Functional Medicine. I have experience in helping clients with a variety of concerns including but not limited to stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting and family issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have experience in working within the adoption triad. Prior to becoming a counselor, I served as an adoption/foster and birth parent liaison. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. You are the expert of your story, and that story deserves to be heard. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage! I look forward to supporting you in that process. During our time together we will work toward mutually agreed upon goals that promote individual and relational growth in an ethically sound way. I tend to view therapy through a holistic approach, looking for mind, body, and environmental connections in hopes of enabling sustainable and lasting change for my clients. While I do believe there is a time and place for medication, I cannot prescribe medication, and work diligently to help clients find root causes to their struggles and stressors. You should know that, along with benefits, psychotherapy does have risks. There may be times that the discussion of unpleasant experiences, or current life situations, cause painful emotional reactions. This may bring discomfort and changes in relationship dynamics. However, therapy has proven incredibly beneficial to many individuals. It is impossible to predict what you will personally experience since every individual is unique. In the course of working together additional concerns may surface of which you the client were not initially aware. If this occurs, then you should feel free to share these new concerns with me and we can adjust our goals and counseling strategies. Before we begin, please be aware that I am ethically and legally bound to maintain strict confidentiality. Consequently, I will not provide any person or agency any information from therapy sessions without signed written permission by the client, or if served with a legally binding subpoena for such information. While our communication is confidential, the following limitations and exceptions do exist: a) I determine that you are a danger to yourself or someone else; b) you disclose abuse, neglect, or exploitation of children, elderly, or disabled person; c) you disclose sexual contact with another mental health professional or clergy. Keep in mind that due to the online platform of our sessions, I cannot guarantee confidentiality although I will do everything possible to ensure privacy on my end. Lastly, I firmly believe that psycho-education is incredibly important to your healing process. It is difficult to heal what we do not understand. There are no stupid questions, so please always feel free to ask for clarification on anything we discuss or the reason behind certain therapeutic activities.
