Getting to know Mary Santerre
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of teens and adults work through past traumas and emotional wounds. I understand that reaching out for support takes courage, and I’m here to walk alongside you in that journey. If you’re ready to take the first step toward a life filled with connection, laughter, and healing, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
I help teens and adults who feel weighed down by anxiety or depression find clarity, relief, and hope. Through compassionate, personalized guidance, we explore the roots of those emotions, develop effective ways to manage them, and create a meaningful path forward. My clients often leave our work feeling more connected, confident, and open to fulfilling relationships and a life full of possibilities. I know from personal experience that life can sometimes feel overwhelming or even hopeless. But I also know healing is possible. I've helped many people who felt just like you at the beginning—disconnected, uncertain, and stuck—rediscover their strength and purpose. Together, we’ll build the skills and insight you need to become the version of yourself you’ve always wanted to be—maybe for the very first time.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Life can be really hard—if you're reading this, you probably already know that. Some days, just getting out of bed feels like a major task, and the idea of facing school or work can seem overwhelming. Maybe you're reaching for something—alcohol, substances, or anything else—just to make it through the day. Social invitations that once felt fun or relaxing now feel like a burden. You’ve tried the advice from friends or family, but despite your efforts, it still feels like you're trudging through mud, every step a struggle. I help teens and adults who feel stuck in anxiety or depression find clarity, relief, and hope. Together, we’ll gently explore the roots of these emotions, develop tools to manage them, and start creating a life that feels lighter and more connected. Many of my clients leave therapy feeling more confident, resilient, and open to the joy of real relationships and meaningful experiences. I know firsthand how hopeless life can feel—but I also know healing is possible. You're not alone, and things can get better. Let’s take that first step together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Through active listening and calm, clear communication, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore both current and past challenges. I understand that counseling can feel intimidating, which is why my style is relaxed and conversational. When appropriate, I incorporate humor to help ease tension and build a connection. My goal is for clients to feel as though they're talking with a trusted friend over coffee—someone who offers empathy without judgment. While I may not have all the answers, we work together to find solutions that are right for you.
