Anxiety, Depression, and Grief
Anxiety, depression, and grief can rob a person of a happy, fulfilling life. Unable to talk openly to family and friends about their feelings, many people will isolate themselves and sink deeper into despair.

Symptoms may include:
- Depressed or Sad Mood
- Constant Feelings of Fatigue
- Loss of Energy or Enthusiasm
- Feeling Worthless
- Lack of Interest in Normal Activities
- Changes in Sleep Patterns
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Feeling Guilty
- Thoughts of Suicide
Getting appropriate treatment can make your life better. Mary Alice is a therapist skilled and experienced at finding solutions that can break anxiety, depression, and grief.
Trauma Recovery
Trauma is an emotional shock that can create substantial and lasting damage to a person's psychological development. Trauma can result from mental or emotional stress or injury. Sexual abuse, incest, death, violence, rape, injury, and accidents are some of the many things associated with trauma. Unfortunately, trauma is a fact of life, something over which we have little control. Mary Alice can teach the skills necessary to recover and heal through therapy.
Self-Esteem
At the core of one’s self-esteem is a sense of self-acceptance. Being able to value not only strengths and successes but being comfortable and accepting of weaknesses, mistakes, and failures are critical components of self-esteem. Mary Alice understands how to help overcome negative self-talk in an effort to become more competent and autonomous.
