Mary Simon, Psy.D.

I believe that, while we don’t usually have a choice about whether pain comes into our lives, we do have a choice about whether it becomes “stuck pain” or “growing pain!” I can help you learn how to use the pain that comes into your life to grow into a happier, more mature, more fully alive person. From this place you can also create healthier, more deeply loving relationships.

As the granddaughter of a suffragette, I have always been interested in women’s empowerment and their unique strengths and challenges. In working with relationships, I find it helpful to focus on the differential issues women and men face in their relationships.

On the personal side, I love to sing, both in choirs and at home with my guitar. I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction and belong to several book discussion groups. I also devote time to working with an interfaith group to build a more just and compassionate world.

I invite you to sit down and chat about how I might help you on your journey. Often, I can offer insights that are helpful even in our first conversation. If, after our first meeting, you decide we are not a “good fit,” I do not charge for that session. Just use our Contact form to get started.
