At the end of the day being human means going through the good times and really hard times too. We all need a little extra help! Believe me, I get it! Therapy can be intimidating and my overall goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, safe, and seen. Being a more engaged therapist means that I want to meet YOU where you’re at. I’m the type of therapist who will be able to laugh and joke with you while also being able to sit with you during the hard moments.

Not only am I just a therapist, I also have training in personal training and fitness! The mind-body connection is something western culture has ignored. It’s my goal to bring attention back to our bodies because at the end of the day that is how we can truly heal. Through our bodies. Our bodies know how to heal but we have been taught to ignore them. I help clients build their relationship with their bodies by helping them better understand bodily sensations and cues which helps inform their healing process. Listening to our bodies also may mean incorporating different things that help bring clients joy, understanding, and regulation. What this basically means is let’s get creative with it! If you’re into tarot, art, music, or dancing, let’s figure out a way to use these things as a way for you to start healing!

Meet Mary:

Hi, I’m Mary Shay, welcome to Revive Therapy! Taking the time to explore your mental health is a huge step, and I am excited to be a part of this journey with you! 

I’m sure we can all agree on one thing…life can be freaking hard! I want to be the first to tell you I get it. You are not alone in feeling this way and it’s my goal to make sure you feel seen and heard when we work together. When it comes to therapy, I take more of a direct approach. What this means is I’m not going to be that therapist who just sits there, staring at you, and asking the question “How do you feel about that.” I value and prefer to be an active participant in your therapy. 

What brings me the most energy is not just teaching clients about how trauma has impacted them but I also engage them in exercises and activities that promote true healing in your body, mind, and soul. We can talk all we want about trauma, but until we put action behind it, healing our deepest wounds won’t be fully possible.
