Ms Mary Deggelman-Mind Body Connect Counseling, MFT

Family Therapist

“My goal is to facilitate the process of innate healing and self-discovery for individuals and families seeking to improve their overall life”

About Me

When life feels challenging, I guide individuals and families to tap into their innate capacity for healing. My aim is to help you discover your inner strengths and navigate difficulties with greater clarity. In our sessions, we can explore patterns and uncover new ways forward together. This collaborative approach fosters self-discovery, leading to meaningful improvements in your overall life and well-being.

Approach

At moments of upheaval, therapy leans into small, steady actions that restore clarity and connection and help you notice what’s working. In my Pleasanton office or during secure online sessions in English, we move at a pace that fits your rhythm, balancing focused listening with accessible tools. Sessions often blend gentle reflection, practical skills for managing stress and mood, and guided family conversations; between meetings I offer brief, doable practices to try. This way of working suits people seeking clear, compassionate support through transitions.
