Mary Guillory , LPC

Mary Guillory approaches therapy with an emphasis on honest sharing and a steady development of trust. She recognizes that many people find it difficult to put feelings into words or to disclose personal experiences to a new person, and she focuses on creating a therapeutic relationship that supports a safer and more supportive environment for that process.

She provides individualized care and draws on trauma-informed principles to guide her work with people who have experienced traumatic events. Mary practices person-centered therapy, which places the client at the center of the process and emphasizes acceptance and empathy, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mary works with individuals struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use and aims to collaborate with each person to shape a treatment plan that fits their needs.

Mary holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and she frames therapy as a mutual partnership grounded in acceptance and compassion. Her goal is to help clients build insight and practical skills while maintaining respect for each person’s pace and experience.
