Professional statement

Mary Braden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who specializes in helping clients overcome mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, and more) using various psychotherapy techniques, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems therapy. With experience working with diverse clients across different ages and backgrounds, Mary tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Driven by a strong interest in understanding the lives of others, Mary chose to become a therapist to help her clients find balance and achieve their goals. She believes that clients are the experts on their own lives and employs a person-centered approach to help them organize their thoughts and focus their energy on reaching desired outcomes.

In her therapeutic practice, Mary is committed to creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment. She believes that therapy should feel like a natural conversation rather than a clinical encounter, and she prioritizes building rapport and forming connections with her clients. Mary understands the importance of connection in the healing process, so she aims to provide a safe space where clients can be their most authentic selves and learn to love themselves fully.

Mary provides online therapy through WellQor. To get started, fill out the WellQor Get Started form. A WellQor intake coordinator will reach out by text to learn about what you are looking for and ensure you are matched with the best-fit therapist, not just the next available provider. From there, expect a simple process to confirm your fit with Mary and get your first session scheduled. Please have your insurance card and member ID ready to help verify coverage quickly.


Message to clients

Hi, I'm Mary! I want you to know that therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment. I believe in creating a warm, conversational, and supportive environment where you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. I don’t believe therapy has to be cold or clinical. I’ll be focused on building a genuine connection with you because I believe healing happens through relationships, trust, and feeling truly seen.

As your therapist, I will bring a variety of evidence-based tools into our work together, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems therapy. But more than that, I will listen. While I bring expertise in mental health, I see you as the expert on your own life. My role is to help you organize your thoughts, stay focused on your goals, and support you as you move toward balance, healing, and self-acceptance.

I provide therapy through WellQor, a mental health practice focused on supporting emotional well-being. If you're interested in working with me, just fill out the Get Started form on the WellQor website. Someone from our amazing front office team will reach out with the next steps and get you scheduled. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your journey!
