Hello, my name is Mary Baummier and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use a collaborative and gentle approach to help my clients overcome trauma, depression, and anxiety.
My approach
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for most of my clients. In this approach, we identify what the goals in therapy are and identify measurable ways to reach these goals. I also use a structured approach called Traumatic Incident Reduction with those who have experienced trauma. This allows the client to process the traumatic incident in a guided and safe way to reduce the negative emotions and feelings associated with the traumatic event.
My focus
I tend to work with clients who experience trauma, depression, and anxiety. I feel that I work well with these conditions and my approaches are tailored to assist clients with overcoming these concerns.
My communication style
I am empathetic and gentle while encouraging you to overcome your struggles. I create a safe and welcoming space to allow you to open up and be vulnerable. When you work with me, I will be there every step of the way. Sessions can be structured or unstructured, and we will discuss what works best for you in your first session.
