Mary McLaughlin LCSW

Welcome.

Hi, I’m Mary McLaughlin. If you’re tired of wishing things were different and you’re ready to do something about it, you’re in the right place. For more than 25 years, I’ve helped individuals and couples create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. My approach is clear, practical, and straightforward.

When conversations turn into arguments or silence, something needs to change. If you are struggling with infidelity, disconnection, feeling lonely, lack of intimacy, or the same problems coming up over and over again, we can take a look at what’s happening and start making changes.

Maybe you’re contemplating divorce or wondering “Is this all there is?” Perhaps you don’t feel like a priority in your partner’s life. Or maybe it seems like you just can’t get it right - so why bother? I’m a seasoned couples therapist known for working with even the most challenging couples, including those who “don’t believe in therapy.” I’m a therapist who leans in, shoots straight, and rolls up my sleeves to help you make real changes.

I also work with individual clients to achieve psychological health and wellness. Contact me to see how I can help.
