Pronouns: he/they. I am a Licensed Psychologist with about 10 years of experience providing therapy.

Sex positive and kink, sex worker & poly friendly. Neurodiversity-, trauma-, and HAES-informed.

Children, adolescents, and parents experience unique joys and challenges. When children are feeling big emotions, it can sometimes look like anxiety, depression, physical aggression, and defiance. Adolescents are navigating their identities and social relationships. Parents are trying to balance their own needs with those of their families. Therapy is a place to access emotional support and skill building. I provide play therapy to support children, and utilize a more directive style to support adolescents, adults and parents. I provide a safe space that empowers clients to utilize their unique strengths, and I am LBGTQ+ affirming.

I am now accepting new clients for 2024! Embrace a life of love, happiness, and fulfillment!

Life's curve balls don't have to be faced alone – I'm here to build a therapeutic partnership where you feel safe discussing past issues.

I have been a licensed clinical mental health counselor since 2008 and have a genuine interest in helping others when they feel stuck or overwhelmed by life. I know how difficult life can be and how there are so many obstacles or stressors that can keep us from living a meaningful and authentic life. Whether you are struggling with finding peace in a chaotic world or experiencing depression, anxiety or symptoms related to trauma, I will help you gain self-awareness and understanding into what is keeping you from living the life you want and deserve.

Looking for a therapist takes a lot of courage. Whatever it is that has motivated you to take this step, I'm glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, relationships and trauma. As a therapist I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore areas of pain and move towards integrative healing. With clients I spend time unpacking things like anger, shame, people-pleasing and perfectionism, processing how early childhood experiences and family dynamics impact current relationships, and exploring how to safely connect with, care for and communicate emotions.

My approach draws on one's strengths to overcome obstacles to a more authentic and fulfilling life. I believe it is important to take time to fully understand an individual's unique life and concerns. The most common concerns clients come to discuss involve relationship difficulties and/or feelings of distress, worry, or sadness. Many of my clients are feeling intense stress due to changing life circumstances. Through therapy new perspectives and ways of coping and/or solving problems can be found.

One of the greatest joys of being a psychologist is seeing and helping individuals and couples create a better life for themselves. Some people I have seen have overcome or at least reduced their level of fear and anxiety. Some, who had severe depression to the point of experiencing suicidal ideations and wanting to isolate themselves from others, were able to overcome their depression and to live more productive lives. Some couples, who were on the brink of separation and divorce, were able to resolve their differences and recommit themselves to a better life together. People who had lost loved ones were able to work through their grief and to realize that their loved ones will never be forgotten and will forever remain in their hearts. These are just a few examples of how people whom I have seen have been able to transform their lives through counseling. During our session I make every effort to provide a safe, nurturing and empathic environment to make it easier for individuals and couples to share their concerns. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis and other methods as necessary to help the person/couples achieve their goals for feeling better about themselves

Are you ready to shift your life, but feel pulled back into the same dysfunctional cycles every time you try to make a change? I enjoy supporting individuals who want to pursue freedom from limbo, the "catch-22," and live a confident, self-directed, and value-aligned life. I work specifically with PTSD, anxiety, relationship and boundary issues, and adults with ADHD. I provide support that allows you to build your awareness and process concrete coping skills in order to gain resilience, strength, and power that extends past the counseling session.

Mary Tayal is a Licensed Psychologist who has practiced in North Carolina for nearly 30 years. Mary has assisted a diverse population of clients to include individual adults, couples, adolescents, geriatrics, and military veterans. She understands that one's life-path is commonly filled with unexpected twists and turns.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become downright overwhelming. These behaviors are not fleeting phases; it's their way of saying, 'Houston, we have a problem.'

Life can be challenging, overwhelming, and stressful at times. You may feel in a rut or even stuck, and it may feel impossible to work through. You may feel that your stressors are not only impacting you, but also your social life, family, or work. Together, we can develop a collaborative plan to help you achieve your personal goals and reengage in your own life. From learning coping skills to processing complex trauma, I am committed to providing you a safe and nonjudgmental environment to find your best path to reach your goals.

I am booking clients for June 2024. If you are feeling "stuck" in your progress, curious about EMDR treatment, or need an an LGBTQIA+ therapist, please reach out! My approach focuses on trust-building and helping you safely enter a place of genuinely processing your emotions instead of avoiding, ruminating, or judging yourself about your emotions. Together we'll work towards harmony—aligning your thoughts and your emotions, releasing the grip of the past, and embracing the possibility of the present: That you are safe now, that you have power, that you are loved, and that you are enough.

So many of us feel stuck-tangled in painful memories, uncomfortable emotions or self-criticism. I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy that can help you live with awareness, vitality and purpose. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, loss and relationship difficulties who are ready to try a different approach. Rather than just feeling better, my focus is on helping you live better and meet life's challenges with greater ease. It is a joy and privilege to work with others as they let go of the struggle, clarify what is truly important and bring forth this vision into reality.

Suffering presents itself in a number of ways- behaviors and relationships we desire to change, uncomfortable emotions, chronic health problems, and feeling out of touch with meaning in our lives. I aim to help clients not only feel better, but live a life according to their values. I work with adults across the lifespan to heal trauma, anxiety, and depression. Beyond feeling better, we work together on insight and growth. In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I offer customized intensives, ketamine assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic preparation/integration. My group practice affirms diversity, sex and body positivity.

Welcome. I am an experienced psychotherapist and life coach, working in partnership with clients who are motivated to bring greater peace and healthy balance to their lives. Many of my clients are dealing with transitions or difficult life events. My approach is gentle, supportive, inclusive, highly informed and effective. I am accepting clients for online services only at this time. Most people find this works well for them.

With over 30 years of experience, I subscribe to a solution-focus philosophy, in which I strive to address the problem as quickly as possible, but with enough depth to avoid relapse. I set goals early in treatment with adults and couples, or with children/teenagers and their families, so we can find successful solutions and change behavior problems, emotional difficulties, academic difficulties, or family problems as soon as possible. I love people and people's stories, and am always truly and deeply interested in the story of every child, teen, and adult I meet. I also think laughter is therapeutic and therapy can be fun.
