Mary

Ms Mary Bonneson, MS, LPC, NCC

Psychotherapist

With over 25 years of professional experience, I am equipped to guide individuals and families toward fuller and more enjoyable lives. Anxiety, depression, and eating disorders are increasingly common as we encounter multiple sources of stress at once. Let's find strategies that move you forward to a fuller life.

About Me

With over two decades of experience, I guide individuals and families toward more enjoyable lives. I offer a collaborative space. Here, we explore current patterns and develop practical tools for daily use. This approach suits those seeking clarity and effective strategies. We can navigate life's complexities together, fostering lasting well-being and connection.

Approach

When stress narrows options, I focus on practical, stepwise changes that fit your day-to-day rhythm. Sessions in Brookfield or via secure online meetings, in English, move at a steady, collaborative pace—short check-ins, focused skill practice, and planning between meetings to keep momentum. We track mood, attention, and coping choices, then tailor small experiments for anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, grief, chronic illness, or eating concerns so progress feels measurable and manageable. This approach suits teens and adults seeking clear, usable strategies and steady forward movement.
