Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Mary Uzoukwu
Compassionate psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families seeking growth, healing, and restored relationships.
Welcome
We are glad you found your way here.
Relationships are the foundation of life.
When we experience painful events and the trust in our relationships seems compromised, it can feel like the ground has been taken from under our feet. From the bottom of the hill, the journey upward can feel steep and daunting. It takes courage to reach out and find a supportive and experienced therapist who can help you restore your life.
I am committed to walking alongside you and your family to overcome stressful experiences and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others. Together, we will work towards building secure and fulfilling relationships so you do not need to journey alone.

About
I will walk with you every step of the way.
Mary Uzoukwu, LMFT
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring warmth, empathy, and clinical expertise to every session. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals, couples, and families can explore their emotions, heal from past wounds, and build more fulfilling relationships.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in attachment theory and integrates evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I believe that within a strong therapeutic relationship, transformation is possible.
I founded my practice with a deep desire to serve individuals and families seeking growth and restored connections. With years of clinical experience, I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties across the lifespan.
