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.
