Mary Liesenberg, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Mary! I'm glad you're here and look forward to learning more about you--even wanting to speak with a counselor is a monumental first step. I'm grateful to have you consider me as a possible provider. A bit about me... I'm a licensed clinical social worker with significant experience serving military, veterans, and foreign service clients and their families. I specialize in post-traumatic stress and other mood disorders with a holistic view for better overall well-being, including mindfulness and lifestyle practices that support sustainable and lasting change. We are never one-dimensional, and we will spend time together to discuss your goals and develop a plan that helps to address your needs and start your path to growth and fulfillment. My approach Every person is unique, and although many clinical practices have guidelines and routines... It's not the same as building a real connection with a therapist who understands you and your perspective on life. I like to spend time with clients developing an authentic, supportive, and caring relationship that values you as a whole person and not a label. Once we have built a connected relationship, we can start working and moving towards your goals in treatment. I primarily practice using cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies with a Rogerian and positive psychology lens. My focus Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts? Are you struggling with sleep or behaviors that are out of character or impacting your relationships? I work with adults who are managing anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and life transitions. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable. My communication style I am a clear, direct, and open communicator. I find that being my authentic whole self in therapy helps to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
