Meet Mary K Logan
Counseling others is not just a job for me, it is a way of life. I offer my clients a non-traditional approach to therapy—using humor and kindness to provide a down-to-earth and direct, yet low-key approach. I am engaged and committed to my clients, and enjoy being part of the healing and growth process. Everyone needs help at some point to overcome life’s challenges. I can provide you with the skills you need to be successful in being the best person you can be.
Life has not been easy for me—grieving my husband’s untimely death, I navigated serious financial challenges, I became a caregiver to my 88-year-old mother (happily going on 3 years now), and I changed careers at the age of 46. These experiences have made me a stronger person, and they help me relate to my clients on a whole other level. I also come from a large family with many siblings, and understand the different family dynamics that can occur.
I enjoy working with couples, to help them go from chaos to calm. Many times it takes only a small adjustment or change in perspective to drastically improve a relationship, and have a positive impact on daily life. Relationships are about process, and I help couples to see the forest through the trees. I help my clients to strategize, and appreciate the process of building and nurturing important relationships in their lives. I like to help others to overcome obstacles, set priorities, and focus on what matters most.
I use the Gottman Relationship Assessment as my main tool when working with couples. I also offer special session packages for couples that have separated and want to be friends and/or co-parent effectively. I help those who need to re-think and strategize “where to go from here.” I offer a soft place for couples to land to think things through, and I assist in providing a framework for their future whether that is together or apart.
In addition to helping couples and families, I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and am well versed on treating people who are struggling with alcohol or opiate addition, co-dependence, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and communication and stress issues. Everything is a process, I like to empower others to understand and strengthen their ability to become unstuck.
When not working with clients, I enjoy working in my garden and spending time with my dogs. I believe self-care is crucial to finding joy and being the best version of you. Prior to beginning my work as a psychotherapist eight years ago, I was a software manager and consultant, a landscape design consultant, a university instructor, a basketball and field hockey coach, a life coach, and at one time I owned a Donut Shop.
I find it easy to relate to a wide variety of people, and encourage anyone who is on the fence about receiving counseling to pick up the phone and give me a call. Short-term therapy can be helpful in anyone’s life.
My educational background includes a Masters in Counseling, a Masters in Public Administration, and numerous educational seminars over the years.
