When I started Therapy by Maryanne, I was driven by one simple belief: mental health matters. This belief wasn’t just born out of my academic background or professional training but from deeply personal experiences that shaped the way I view healing, resilience, and the power of support. Today, I want to share some reflections on mental health—from my heart to yours—and extend an invitation to embark on a journey toward living happier, healthier lives.
The Silent Struggle We All Know
Mental health issues often go unnoticed. Unlike physical wounds, the scars of depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief are invisible, yet they cut just as deep. I have sat across from countless individuals who felt ashamed or broken because society conditioned them to hide their struggles. To anyone reading this: you are not alone, and your pain is valid.
At Therapy by Maryanne, we see this struggle every day. We’ve worked with teens navigating the confusing maze of adolescence, adults battling the weight of trauma, and organizations seeking to create healthier workplaces. The common thread in all these journeys is the courage it takes to seek help and the transformative power of doing so.
Why Mental Health Matters
Mental health is the foundation of everything—your relationships, career, personal growth, and even physical health. Ignoring it is like building a house on shaky ground. Over time, the cracks start to show. Stress becomes burnout. Sadness becomes depression. Overwhelm becomes anxiety.
Healing starts when you acknowledge the cracks and take steps to strengthen your foundation. This is where we come in. Therapy by Maryanne is more than a counseling firm; it’s a safe space to rediscover yourself, rebuild your strength, and reclaim your joy.
My Personal Reflection: The Turning Point
Years ago, I had my turning point. I remember feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of my purpose. The moment I sought therapy was the moment I began to heal. It wasn’t a magical fix but a journey—one that taught me to confront my fears, embrace my imperfections, and prioritize my well-being.
That journey inspired me to create a space where others could experience the same transformation. At Therapy by Maryanne, every service we offer reflects this mission: to empower individuals to thrive.

Final Thoughts
As a society, we have a long way to go in normalizing mental health conversations. But every time someone chooses to seek help, they’re not just changing their own life—they’re helping to break the stigma for others too.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it inspires you to take action, whether for yourself or someone you care about. Remember, you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Therapy by Maryanne is here for you—always.
With care and compassion,
