Hi! My name is Mary Denning and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who loves helping clients live happier, healthier lives. I've worked across many age groups, cultures, and diagnoses. I started my career with geriatric clients, then worked with adolescents and families throughout the public school system, all while working in palliative and hospice care. Those experiences shaped my private practice today and gave me the skills to meet a wide range of needs. As your therapist, my goal is to help you reach yours. I'll be a sounding board where you can freely share your thoughts and feelings, and I'll work to fully understand you so I can help you understand yourself. Together we'll set realistic goals and build the tools to reach them. I genuinely love helping people see themselves in a new light and create real change in their lives. I know firsthand what it feels like to be heard, supported, and guided, and how much that can shift your whole outlook. Therapy can help anyone, and I'd really encourage you to give it a try. Life is too short to be at war with yourself! Looking forward to meeting you! Mary Denning, LCSW

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and interactive. After an initial assessment, I may start by providing information about different therapy techniques and why they may be helpful for your concerns. I also start from a place of strength — though you may begin therapy feeling low or nervous, I aim to remind you of the resilience and skills you already possess, while helping you discover new ways to look at and tackle obstacles. I’m a fan of handouts and worksheets, and may encourage you to do practice exercises between sessions to work on the skills you’re learning. I will simultaneously help you focus on the here-and-now while pushing you to uncover and repair deeper, older patterns of relating to yourself and the world. I also believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and I often employ a variety of techniques from mindfulness, CBT and DBT approaches to enrich our work when useful. My style in the room is direct, empathic, collaborative, and playful. I have significant interest and experience working with LGBTQ+ populations, recent college graduates and young professionals navigating life transitions and identity exploration, and individuals and couples working towards greater relationship satisfaction and intimacy.

I start by delving into present and past issues through a cognitive behavioral lens as well as an attachment lens to assist clients in better understanding themselves and challenging some of the automatic thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate their anxiety or distress. My style is non-judgmental and interactive, often lending itself to moments of humor and positivity that further the therapeutic bond and offer opportunities for increased self-compassion and forgiveness. My first priority when beginning treatment with a client is the development of a trusting, comfortable, and open relationship through which exploration of difficult issues can be made with increased ease and sense of safety.

I know personally that therapy may be difficult and uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. When I first sit with someone, I genuinely thank them for showing up, both for themselves, and for the therapeutic relationship we’ll work to develop. I want us to explore how your thoughts and feelings impact your behaviors, how your past experiences have shaped the way you relate to others and how you communicate. I want to celebrate progress with you, and to create a safe space for when you need more support. I also enjoy incorporating psychoeducation to assist with applying and understanding the concepts and techniques we talk about in session to your everyday life. On an individual level, I want the client to develop trust and compassion in themselves. On a larger scale, my goal is to normalize mental health, especially for populations who’ve had limited access and face stigmatization for seeking support.

I am certified in Advanced Grief Counseling, Trauma-focused ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT. I have worked extensively with music industry professionals and creatives, as well as youth with varying abilities and disabilities, working predominantly with late teens (16+), adults, and couples.

Do you ever feel like your relationship with food, your body, or your emotions has quietly taken over more of your life than you ever intended? Maybe you have spent years managing it alone, turning to restriction, rigid rules, or old coping habits to feel some sense of control, only to find yourself exhausted, disconnected, or wondering if things can actually be different. I know how heavy that can feel. I bring both specialized clinical training and genuine compassion to my work with clients navigating eating disorders, body image, and the emotions that often live underneath both. With experience at The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders, one of the country's leading eating disorder treatment programs, I've worked with adolescents and adults across a wide range of presentations and levels of care. I specialize in eating disorders, body image, OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and brings a relational, trauma-informed approach to every session. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen rather than assessed, where the work moves at a pace that feels safe, and where healing feels possible rather than out of reach.

I use my sense of humor, most of all, and self-disclosure when I think it will help. I pride myself on trying to make therapy enjoyable. I have been a therapist for almost 20 years and have worked with so many different populations. I love what I do. Because I am a licensed Marriage family and child therapist, I can treat many people. My experience ranges from inpatient to outpatient as well as schools and foster homes.

I work with a number of presenting concerns including relationships, self-esteem, and grief and loss. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma recovery. I enjoy creating genuine connections with my clients and helping them to not only address symptoms, but also to tune into their strengths and values and to feel empowered to handle the ups and downs of life. My approach is client-centered and integrative, combining mindfulness-based, relational-psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. This means we will look at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, understand how the past might influence the present, explore relationships, and be compassionate observers of your experience. When we grow awareness and understanding, we can also more intentionally choose our responses and how to navigate things in the present.

I enjoy working with emerging adults in college on any issues related to managing stress, anxiety, depression or trauma/loss. I use a variety of evidence based techniques for recovery and healing.
