Getting to know Mary Watts

Hi there, I'm Mary! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep passion for guiding individuals, especially women, teenagers, and children, through mental and emotional challenges. With 29 years of experience and a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Fresno, I’ve committed myself to fostering personal growth and healing in clients. I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life—genders, nationalities, ages, and races. My life experiences, coupled with my education and professional background, make me a therapist who is well-rounded, grounded in reality, and able to meet my clients’ needs. My approach My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. I focus on the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and experiences while emphasizing each individual’s unique journey, creating a personalized therapeutic experience for my clients. My focus I am dedicated to helping clients who struggle with self-image and self-esteem, lack confidence, or feel overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. With 29 years of experience working successfully with hundreds of clients from all socioeconomic groups, nationalities, genders, races, and creeds, being an African American woman makes me uniquely qualified to work with a wide variety of diverse clients. My communication style I strive to create a warm, respectful, and comfortable environment where clients feel safe and can be their true selves. I want to become a trusted partner whom clients can confide in. Once the therapeutic alliance is established, I aim to challenge them as needed and help them grow. My goals for you In my initial session, I ask clients what brought them into therapy to identify pressing issues from the start. I also ask what they hope to achieve in both the short and long term as therapy moves forward.
