About

Hi there, I'm Mary! My name is Mary O'Connor and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has had years of experience working with couples and families in transition. I have worked in the field of family counseling, substance abuse recovery and prevention of family violence. I have been training therapists for over 25 years and I love the work I do with couples and families. I have authored books on anger management and getting through divorce and several published articles in newspapers and websites. I am told my sense of humor is contagious. I will help you prioritize your challenges. Whether its a few sessions or a longer time, I will support your process of healing. My problem solving professional approach is combined with great admiration of my clients who are experiencing many of life's challenges. I hope to help you sort out your feelings about what you are experiencing and help you build confidence in your ability to cope with difficult problems you are facing.
