You do not have to filter yourself here, or have any of it figured out. This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure to perform or have the right words. Together we sort through what is actually getting in your way and build approaches that fit your real life, at a pace that works for you.

My Approach

Skills and relationship, together.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw on several evidence-based methods, including CBT, ACT, DBT, and person-centered therapy, and tailor them to you rather than to a formula. I pair practical skill-building with a genuine relationship, because lasting change tends to need both. I am not here to fix you. I am here to walk alongside you while you reconnect with your own strength and clarity.

I also will not assume safety just because I name it. I pay attention to pacing, take your experiences seriously, and let trust build over time instead of expecting it up front.

How I Help

Common reasons people come to me:

• Anxiety

• Self-esteem and self-doubt

• Emotional regulation

• Perfectionism

• Life transitions

• Understanding yourself more fully

A focus on neurodivergent adults

I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent adults, including those exploring or living with Autism and ADHD. A lot of our work centers on self-understanding, self-esteem, and finding strategies that actually fit how your mind works.

You do not need to have it figured out, or be an "ideal" client, to begin. Readiness can look like a lot of different things.

Getting Started

Reaching out is the first step.

If any of this resonates, I would love to hear from you. We will start with a short consultation to talk through what is bringing you in, how I work, and whether we are the right fit, before you commit to anything.

Mary Clare is a provisionally licensed counselor practicing under Dr. Bono's supervision. For current fees, insurance, and billing questions, see our fees and insurance page or ask when you reach out, and we will walk through all of it with you.

You are genuinely cared for here, and you are in capable hands.

A Little About Me

Outside the therapy room.

I am someone who learns by doing. I went to an experiential school that taught out in the wilderness, so I can build a fire, find my way with a compass, and yes, I once swam with a whale shark. A trip to Big Sur with my dad has also stayed with me. Standing under trees that massive has a way of putting things in perspective.

These days, life outside of work is mostly my three dogs, Penny, Cali, and Ollie, long walks and longer baths, time with the people I love, and a new and very earnest attempt at sourdough. I believe joy shows up in moments like these rather than at some finish line, and that belief shapes how I sit with people in the work too.
