I've been working with Mary for quite a few years, both in-person and virtually. She's consistently provided a judgment-free, compassionate space where I truly feel heard and understood. Our sessions have helped me navigate some very tough life events and stressful situations. Mary always encourages me to be the best version of myself and thoughtfully helps me find that version whenever it gets a little lost. Though we mostly engage in talk therapy, I've also done some sessions with EMDR and art, which were incredibly grounding! As a cat lover, I love when her cats make the occasional on-screen appearance.

Mary is a consummate professional who is extremely well versed in trauma therapy. Highly recommend!! If you or a loved one have some stuff to get off of your chest, problems to work through or a death in the family, she’s your woman. - Nick

NFVerified patient

Mary is always attentive, empathetic and above all an excellent clinician. She has a strong commitment to social justice, something I was looking for in a therapist. Occasionally her cat will meander across the televisit screen-works for me!

JCVerified patient

Can't say enough good things about Dr. McCluskey, her demeanor, professionalism, insights, guidance, and support. My appointments with her are a crucial part of my emotional and mental wellbeing and have helped me immensely in navigating major life changes and challenging personal relationships.

TCVerified patient

I worked with Mary for two and half years and from our first session, she made me feel comfortable opening up. She helped me understand new ways of looking at things I was going through and provided some amazing tactics of dealing with certain emotions that I still apply to this day. I would highly recommend Mary!

BPVerified patient

I have been a patient of Mary's both in-person in the late 2000's for several years and virtually from 2020+. She is a consummate professional with a gentle, caring bedside manner, yet also knows the right questions to ask to allow me to dig deeper into my mind & heart. I have seen much trauma in my life and had initially thought that having a good friend and family network was enough. Truth was, I needed objective insights which Mary was able to provide me, all tailored to my personality and how I take in information and process. She also opened my mind to other spiritual ways to open my heart and mind to clearer thinking. I would recommend Mary in a heart beat. I can attribute much of our work together to how I currently thrive day-today.

CDVerified patient

I would recommend Dr. McCluskey to anyone thinking of entering therapy. She is empathetic, thoughtful, insightful, and extremely knowledgeable. She is someone who has a mixture of great clinical sense and a genuine ability to connect. I am grateful for her ability to meet my vulnerabilities and struggles with compassion and warmth. She doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all approach and has used a range of interventions from her toolbox to help with my specific needs. I feel heard and validated during our sessions. I know the value of our work together because I see the change in myself and my relationships. I feel hopeful and excited about the future because of my time in therapy.

DLVerified patient

I have been going to this practice for some time now and every experience has been professional and caring. All staff members care for their clients, clients are heard and their care is genuine.

RMVerified patient

I've been seeing Mary for close to 8 years and I'm really glad I found her. Mary is thoughtful, reliable and warm. She creates a safe and comfortable environment to share and be vulnerable. As my needs in therapy have changed over the years, Mary has noticed, and offered different therapeutic solutions from emdr to art therapy. She also recommends books, meditations and talks to support my growth outside of sessions. Most importantly to me, Mary makes me feel seen and understood, remembering the things I tell her, and giving me a new or clearer perspective.

I've been seeing Alena for several years now and I can't express enough how much her support has means to me. Alena creates a safe space where I feel comfortable to open up without fear or judgment. Her approach is empathetic and professional while providing deep insights with practical strategies that have made a real difference in my life. I appreciate Alena tailoring our sessions to my specific needs and always offering tools and perspectives that resonate with me personally. Alena helped me navigate some of my toughest challenges and I've seen meaningful improvements in my mental and emotional well-being. I really appreciate her patience and care. I highly recommend Alena to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled therapist who genuinely cares about their clients' growth and healing.

WLVerified patient

I’ve been working with Alena for almost five years. She’s been gentle, supportive, and compassionate every step of the way. I especially find doing breathwork and somatic exercises with her very helpful.

TLVerified patient

Annie was amazing! She was able to make a real connection with my daughter. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.

I highly recommend Ross as a therapist. His exceptional knowledge and expertise, combined with his remarkable ability to listen without judgment, creates a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my most vulnerable thoughts. Ross provides incredibly insightful and practical advice that has genuinely transformed how I approach difficult situations. He has a gift for asking the right questions that help me discover solutions while offering concrete strategies when needed. His guidance has been instrumental in my personal growth and emotional well-being. Ross combines professional expertise with authentic compassion, making every session both productive and healing. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled, caring, and effective therapist who truly makes a difference.

RSVerified patient

My experience with The Empowerment Opportunity has been fulfilling. Ross is kind, honest and a good listener. He gives me the space to talk, respects what I am comfortable with, and helps to guide me to a better understanding of what I may be experiencing. Both him and Mary have been readily available and responsive to my needs.
