Mary Pillarella, MSW, LCSWMHNP-BC
Do things feel confusing, overwhelming or uncertain? Does the current season you are walking through feel lonely and isolated? I understand that taking the first step to talk to someone is difficult. Life stressors do not have to be faced by you alone. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space so that you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. I offer goal-directed, clinically proven therapeutic approaches to help my clients re-establish healthy, functional relationships with their emotions, problem-solving through their circumstances and become “unstuck” in their lives. I combine elements of CBT/DBT, mindfulness based, gender-affirming and problem-solving perspectives.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has enjoyed practicing for the past 41 years. My focus is on adults who are struggling with but not limited to; grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity issues, life transitions and relationship struggles. Let us co-create a future where your past becomes a testament to your resilience. We will work together to build new skills, strategies and beliefs that will help you achieve a happy, healthier you.
