Mae is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and addictions counselor (LCADC) with specialization in trauma, PTSD, addictions, drug & alcohol use, depression, and anxiety. She believes the foundation of therapy is based on the relationship she builds with you. She views the therapeutic relationship as an alliance and a collaborative process. Mae strives to create a safe atmosphere rooted in empathy, respect, and through a culturally sensitive framework. She holds extensive experience working with individuals from diverse communities, cultures, and continents. Her therapeutic modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR. Mae's path to becoming a mental health therapist involved her personal journey. The experiences and challenges she faced in her formative years resulted in a scarred childhood which led to three things: 1. The need to heal 2. A focus on the importance of Mental & Emotional Health 3. The desire to help others heal by providing therapy Her goal is to assist you in realizing and reaching your true potential while fostering healing. Mae welcomes feedback about her therapeutic approach to ensure your goals and needs are served. The most important thing she hopes to achieve by working with you is to reduce dependency on therapy and harness motivation from within. As in her own case, she realized there is no greater victory than turning pain into productivity! The greatest triumphs of therapy are not found in the absence of pain, but in the presence of resilience.
