Mary Kate O’Brien, LAC

Hi there! I’m MaryKate, and I’m thrilled to be working with children, teens, and adults. With years of experience in school settings, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through a wide range of challenges. Whether it’s navigating anxiety, transitioning through life’s big changes, building self-esteem, or tackling depression, my goal is to create a warm, supportive space where kids feel understood and empowered.

I know that starting therapy can be a bit intimidating. That’s why I work hard to make my office a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where everyone feels safe to explore their feelings, play some games, and learn more about what's going on inside of them. My approach is all about making sure that each client knows they’re heard, valued, and capable of overcoming the obstacles they face.

I genuinely love what I do and am passionate about helping others find their path to happiness and resilience. Every day, I’m inspired by the courage and growth I see in my clients, and I’m grateful to be part of their journey. If you’re looking for someone who combines experience with a warm heart and a deep commitment to making therapy a positive experience, I’d be honored to work with you.
