“I went with her because she was highly rated and specialized in ADHD treatment, and I have not been disappointed. She goes above and beyond by providing me with resources to help me achieve my goals, she is a great listener and has a way of pointing things out to me without it making me feel self conscious. I like her attitude and approach and look forward to our sessions.”

“I selected Mary Ellen because I am more comfortable talking to a woman closer to my age. She looked very kind, friendly and her bio sounded like she was easy to talk to. It didn't take long to realize that is all true. Mary Ellen is a very good listener and knows how to ask questions gently and open enough to comfortably talk. She has assisted me with a recent fear I had been concerned about and in doing so, she has also allowed me to realize some things I needed to work on for my happiness.”

Getting to know Mary-Ellen Pon
Hi there, I'm Mary-Ellen!
You've already taken a big step by deciding to explore therapy. Well done! My job is to make it a good experience for you. I promise it won't be scary. We'll work together so you can heal and grow. Welcome to "Team You'!
My approach
If you’re struggling right now, we can work together to make your life better. I want this to be a safe haven to explore whatever is getting in the way of you having the life that you want. I have a laid-back style and often use humor and practical examples to make ideas easy to grasp. I’ll help you learn new skills, get a better understanding of of what you are facing and make small changes that have big results. I use a variety of approaches so I can come up with a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. Some of them are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic therapy. Internal Family Therapy. Most people don't know what any of those are and that's ok. We'll find out what works for you.
My focus
I like helping people who are wrestling with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, panic disorders, OCD, stress management, grief/loss, life transitions, issues related to aging, imposter syndrome, stress management and substance use.
My communication style
When we work together I'll be listening hard and taking notes to make sure I remember everything that is important to you. There is a lot of back and forth. You talk, I listen then ask questions, share insights and explore options with you. It is a judgement-free zone. I love feedback so I often ask you for it. I want to make sure that what we are talking about is helpful and if you think any skills we discuss might work.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was a massage therapist for years and I noticed how much of an impact people's thoughts had on their bodies. They could be relaxed physically after a session but if they continue to have distressing thoughts, their bodies became tense again very quickly.
