Ms Mary Vice

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I help clients access mental flexibility to make clearer choices in their lives and break out of patterns that are harming them.”

About Me

I help clients cultivate mental flexibility, offering a welcoming space to explore new ways of thinking. If you feel stuck in unhelpful patterns or struggle with difficult choices, we can work together. My aim is to support you in navigating life's complexities with greater clarity. This approach is ideal for those seeking to understand their reactions. It helps them make conscious decisions for a more fulfilling life.

Approach

Accessing mental flexibility is practiced through a steady, practical rhythm: we map decision points, name recurring responses, and try small shifts to see what changes. I meet with clients in Livermore and online in English, keeping sessions predictable and calmly paced so important moments aren’t missed. Work blends focused reflection, role-based practice for relationships and parenting, and brief between-session experiments you’ll report back on. Those facing separation, role changes, or stuck relational patterns tend to find this hands-on, collaborative style useful.
