Mary Ellen Kundrat

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I specialize in working with people who are struggling with fear, anxiety or change and may be heading to or already at a crossroads .”

About Me

I understand how fear and anxiety feel when facing life's crossroads. I help you navigate change, exploring options and gaining clarity about your path forward. Together, we make sense of overwhelming feelings, finding practical ways to move through uncertainty. This collaborative approach suits those ready to explore their next steps with greater confidence and understanding.

Approach

At a turning point, my work shifts from holding uncertainty to helping you try small, concrete moves that reveal what feels manageable. Sessions in Middle Village or online, in English, are paced to your needs—sometimes focused on immediate coping, sometimes on planning next steps between meetings. We track patterns keeping you stuck, practice skills for anxiety, grief, relationship or career shifts, and I offer coaching-style check-ins to reinforce progress. People seeking practical, collaborative pacing tend to find this way of working helpful.
