Mrs. Mary Bates, LISW-S
About Me
Life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming—stress, past trauma, anxiety, or uncertainty about the future. My clients are those who are ready to move forward but unsure how to begin. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling to find balance in your relationships, work, or personal growth. You want clarity, resilience, and a sense of control over your own life. Most of all, you want to feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.
Education & Experience
As a clinical social worker, I provide a compassionate and practical approach tailored to your needs. Using evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I help people process trauma, build skills, and strengthen relationships. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
