Getting to know Mary Heard

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Mental Health Social Work from Clark Atlanta University. My individualized approach to therapy varies based on the needs of my client. Each session is tailored to support your unique journey. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing techniques to help you process your feelings. I work with adults and adolescents in areas such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and addiction. My communication style is calm and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Working with me can feel like a "breath of fresh air," and I want you to leave each session feeling at ease. I have always loved helping and advocating for others since I was a child. Witnessing the pain and trauma people experience daily inspired me to be part of the change. I often say, "I love planting seeds," even though I may not be around to see the outcome. Goal setting is one of the most important parts of therapy. I take a collaborative approach, ensuring each goal is measurable and attainable. In our first session, I focus on building rapport—I want to learn more about you so I can be the best therapist for your needs.
