Getting to know Mary Wenceslao
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and EMDR-trained clinician with extensive experience supporting adults through trauma, addiction, substance use, anxiety, depression, and other co-occurring concerns. With more than a decade of counseling experience and 20 years in social services, I bring both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.
My background includes working in community mental health, substance use treatment, adolescent and family services, and virtual care. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed practices to help patients better understand their patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting change.
I strive to create a therapeutic environment where patients feel safe, respected, and supported. I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I work closely with each individual to develop care that reflects their goals, strengths, and unique life experiences.
