Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship dissatisfaction, anger management issues, or experiencing difficult life transitions? Are you looking for someone to help you get motivated and encouraged to make healthy changes and work towards your goals? Together, we will look at your behaviors, stressors, and values through the lenses of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness based approaches in order to best meet your needs in a supportive and respectful environment.

Self-esteem, self-motivation and social skills are essential, which lead to a satisfying life. In addition, adults may desire to improve their personal development, may be in need of support, and/or develop a better relationship with a significant other. My knowledge, skills, and aptitude are essential enough to address your issues or concerns.

As a hard working individual, stressed out and anxious have become your new normal. Every morning, you put on a brave face and smile as you step onto the corporate battle field. There are times that you fly off the handle over the simplest things, and yet can't explain why something so small would get you so bent out of shape. Day by day, the irritation seems to be tightening its grasp. You find yourself losing sleep, wondering if you left any tasks undone. It's becoming impossible to enjoy the activities you love because you are such a tightly wound ball of nerves. Work-life balance is starting to sound like a fairy tale.

I work with people facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, feeling stuck, lacking support, and difficulty in relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Professional School Counselor, on a mission to support and collaborate with you on your journey to wellness. The common issues that I work with are adolescent issues, parenting, women's issues, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and sports performance issues. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the LPC, build a positive therapeutic relationship, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals from an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals.

You don't have to feel like this. It doesn't have to be this way. You are not alone. My name is Mary Kate Hopwood and I want to help. I believe that people already have the solutions to their problems inside themselves, and that they can discover these solutions through careful reflection. I focus on listening deeply and forming a strong, supportive bond with my clients to help them find the relief they seek.

There are many reasons you might be looking for therapists right now. Maybe your situation feels overwhelming, uncertain? Feeling like there is no hope? Being stuck can cost you - time, pain, relationships. Working with me, therapy is an inviting place to wrestle with the hard stuff. I like to say, "things are scary, but we don't have to be scared." I enjoy helping clients regain or experience for the first time, agency over their time, pain, and relationships. As your therapist, we plan therapy with an end in mind: how will we know things are better for you?

My therapeutic ethos is grounded in the belief that everyone has access to vibrant mental well-being. Trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I leverage my systemic perspective to guide my clients back to their innate wisdom and intuition. I honor both the physical and spiritual aspects of the human experience and I believe in the healing and restorative power of deepening our understanding of the mind and body connection. Regardless of the personal crises, life transition, loss, or relational issue(s) you may be facing, peace and balance can still be yours. Let's work together!
